Always good - can you tell me what vegetarian / mushroom free dishes you have on tonight please? Might be coming with veggies tonight depending what you've got

We'd walked past The Blacksmiths Arms last summer when exploring Talkin village and thought we would love to stay there, given the chance. We were in the area again at the end of the Easter holidays and remembered this little gem. It was reasonably busy in the pub when we arrived but we were immediately greeted with a smile and 'hello's from the staff - that made us feel very welcome. The Blacksmiths, as one would imagine, is a lovely old traditional pub with an open fire - very cosy. We booked in for dinner that evening, which was of an excellent standard, but breakfast the following morning was an even bigger treat - and the nicest Cumberland sausages we've had in a long while. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a decent night's sleep after walking off dinner with an evening stroll along the lane to Farlam village. We absolutely loved it here and can't wait for an opportunity to come back.

We had three nights here and couldn't have been made more welcome. The hotel is an undiscovered charm and a breath of fresh air nowadays. No loud music, no modern updates and thankfully no dogs inside. The food throughout the day was excellent but the very best part were the people who ran the place and the location. We will be definitely returning.

Comfortable accommodation with good food in a lovely rural setting. We only stayed one night - room was basic but clean and comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant area - varied menu and food was well prepared, tasty and good value. I would rate it as much better than average 'pub fare'. Breakfast in the morning was good. Staff throughout were attentive and friendly. Overall, very good value and something of a find.

Not dined here for a while but glad to see the food is still excellent. All the people in the group enjoyed their choices mine being a particular fine Cumberland sausage with excellent veg and real chips. Not forgetting a decent pint of Timmy Taylors!

What a lovely place this is. I have just returned from a Golfing break with 7 friends and everything was faultless. Anne is a lovely pleasant host who ensures everything runs shipshape. The breakfast is first class and passed my sausage test with flying colours (obviously sourced from a local butcher) I can definitely recommend The Blacksmiths Arms and I plan to return next year.
