First time visiting The Miners Arms, and it will not be our last. Absolutely spotlessly clean throughout. Landlady and staff are very friendly and welcoming . I had hunters chicken, and my husband had ham egg and chips. Both meals ? lovely and served with a lovely side salad. Thank you, Miners Arms, for a beautiful meal and friendly welcome. 5 very well deserved stars ? from me . You will definitely see us again .

Have visited this lovely pub quite a few tines as we have family who live close by in the forest. Although we have never eaten here the food looks amazing! The staff are always super friendly, and attentive. The pub is dog friendly, clean, cosy and comfortable and the real ales are excallent. Always enjoy out visits and definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area. Just wish all pubs were like this!

This place has it all. Lovely friendly locals amidst a dog owners paradise. Plenty of room outside to enjoy a drink and the food wow. We ordered King prawns and Wild boar pate for starters and this did not disappoint. The main courses were Lamb shank and sirloin steak and the chef knows how to cook meat to perfection. We really would give them 6 out of five if it was allowed. Excellent venue for a perfect evening Thank you Ian,Chris and the team

Excellent service and meal. Will return next time we visit the area. Would certainly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Would suggest they book. We happen to be lucky and got table but people after us either turned away of had to wait.
This review is primarily for our weekend break at the Miners Cottage adjacent to the Miners Arms in Whitecroft. The owners of the Miners Arms additionally run the cottage for self catering. We chose the Cottage due to its superb location enabling short mileages between the Cottage and key Forest of Dean towns such as Coleford, Cinderford, Ross on Wye etc as well as even shorter travel to many of the principal visitor locations such as Puzzlewood and the many forest walks and lakes. The Cottage has a fantastic atmosphere and the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are modern and very well laid out and equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. Upon our arrival, feeling a little weary due to the heat and drive from South Devon, we were warmly greeted by the Cottage hostess who additionally presented us with fresh milk, hot cross buns, fresh bread and butter to revive us! The lounge area contains a large flat screen to and opens onto a real gem…a wooden decked balcony affording expansive views across the nearby fields and woodlands, a great place to relax after walking the forest paths with a glass or two of cool wine. We thoroughly enjoyed the laid back vibe of the cottage and it’s proximity to the forest itself. The kitchen has everything you would need eg dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble drier etc. The bathrooms have fabulous showers and one has a large bath. We spent each day out and about since the trave distance to most of the most popular visitor attractions are well within 10 miles or less. In short the Cottage is fantastic and we are seriously considering a return next Spring. We did bring back drinks from the Miners Arms but as we were out and about ate at other equally well appointed pubs and restaurants.

Only stopped for a drink but the beer garden was lovely with a playground for kids, wendy house and chickens running around!

Very nice little pub. Food was very nice. Also has a good child's play area out side in the beer garden.

They looked after 14 of us (4 families) in a delightfully friendly way. Food was simple but delicious, very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. They sat us on a long table (kids one end - adults the other) and were very attentive and helpful. Happy to have well behaved dogs too.

Came here upon recommendation from our holiday cottage and it was spot on. Service was excellent and staff really friendly. Food was top notch and there were clean plates all round! Particular favourites were the Wild Boar pate and the Lamb Shank. Would definitely recommend. Lovely beer garden and outdoor play area for the kids too. Dog friendly
