    We always visit The Farmers Arms when we visit Daylesford. The food is always very good, with a changing menu according to the season. The venue is “old-style” country pub. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended.

    Amazing meal, great service, friendly staff, ambience was perfect. It's been 4 years since we have returned to Daylesford, and lovely to see the Farmer's Arms hotel's renovations. Loved the changes. Highly recommended.

    I'd been really looking forward to eating here, but was disappointed. The service was very slow, I was told 2 of the 3 mocktails were unavailable. The food was ok, but not amazing. There was a very noisy table right near us and we could barely hear each other to have a conversation. It took forever for staff to clear our plates (in the end I got up and asked). We didn't stay for dessert as we were worn out and disappointed. We told the waiter we were disappointed and she just shrugged -care factor of zero.

    Nice food and ambience. Service was perhaps not as attentive as we might have expected from this restaurant's past high reputation, but still quite pleasant.

    We had a very enjoyable lunch in this very lovely old pub. The food was good with local beers and wines too. It also catered for gluten free meals.
