Ambience and Decor

• "One of the best pubs I've been in for a long time, the atmosphere is fantastic."

Cons:

• "The outside is in some need of TLC however. The tables need a good clean and the windows in particular have cracked paint which isn't very nice to look at if sitting outside."
• "The outside is looking tatty and the cigarette bin looks horrendous."
• "Only thing that stop 5 stars for me is that there's no garden and the seating is next to a road."
• "It's just such an average pub, nothing special about it anymore and doesn't have its local charming pub atmosphere now they've changed the decor to try and make it more modern."
• "The whole place is tired and is overdue a refurb by 15 years. Tables were dirty, carpet worn/sticky, toilets are horrible and generally grim place to sit and eat."

• "I'd have given four stars if it wasn't for the infestation of flies, both inside and out."

• "Music is always too loud! When dining with my elderly father who is deaf, we can’t hold a conversation because we’re competing with the general noise and loud music."

• "Whilst the Beaufort Arms is a dog friendly pub, there is a dog living on the premises that is definitely not dog friendly."
