Welcome to the Carden Arms & Farm
​
A charming Grade II listed 18th-century Coaching Inn, standing proud at the head of Tilston village; full of antiques, fabulous artwork, old rugs and real fires. Five delightful local cask ales to choose from meticulously kept in the Georgian cellar, fine wines from around the world and gins galore. ​With five ensuite, luxury bedrooms, there’s also ‘room at the Inn’ for rest and refreshment. Utterly unique; the pub owns Carden Farm less than a mile away which provides all the wonderful beef, lamb and pork served in the pub.​
​
One old fashioned village pub, one un-modernised mixed livestock farm... like they used to be... trying hard to honour the past in a fast moving world.
Our five luxury rooms offer a beautiful countryside retreat within the charming village of Tilston. Whether it's a romantic getaway or a flying visit, our rooms are adorned with antiques and hand-made sumptuous beds for the best night's sleep.
Choose from three king-sized double rooms, the Thoroughbred, the Hackney or the Clydesdale and for anyone travelling solo our dinky Shetland single room may be all that's required. The Shire is our grandest room and boasts a stunning four-poster bed, plus 'secret' bunk beds if required for younger family members, sleeping up to four. All rooms have the most elegant of en-suites with complimentary toiletries. A continental breakfast is included for week nights and indulge in a full English for the weekend.​​
The Real Ale Hub
Real ale is at the heart of our village pub, our bar always boasts five hand-pulled cask ales. From classic bitters to bright and zesty blondes, we've got something for everyone, whether you're a lifelong ale fan or just starting your journey. We're especially proud to be featured in the 2025 Good Beer Guide for the 7th year running! Fancy a taste? Don't be shy, we love a bit of sampling.
