Would highly recommend if you have a dog as the Kings Arms is really dog friendly and has a great outdoor space and lovely beer garden. I loved the way we were provided with a dog bed, bowls and treats for the dogs on arrival. A great find and would definitely stay again.
Nice place nice friendly staff, in a nice area
The cheap rooms could be a little better for the money. And there’s a bit of road noise if your a light sleeper
Great breakfast

Very good
First night there was a lot of noise from busy road and bar below (although it was mainly our wedding crew) but when we asked to move the 2 nd night they were VERY obliging and that room (8) was amazing. Food very good. (Dinner and breakfast) staff very friendly and all pleasant.
Our was ideal for 4 day stay. The room was clean and large enough for the kids on the sofa and my wife and I in the master. There was plenty of parking. The Pub is nice and the service for breakfast, lunch and dinner was very nice. Everyone was super friendly.
Made to feel very welcome room was amazing and beautiful view. Food was excellent. An added touch to the rooms was a robe for guests to use in the bathroom
My stay at this hotel was awful. I stayed here on business and had many problems.
I stay in 70/80 hotels per year and have never had to complain like this.
I was aware just before arrival that they weren’t offering Breakfast or any Evening Meals which was less than ideal in the location. However I had several other issues but to name a few:
No milk available for tea or coffee on request
Room freezing, no radiators in room and wall unit not on before arrival so I spent 4 hrs having to wear my coat in my room. I left the heater on over night on 28 degrees to get it warm.
Exit/Fire Safety lights in room. Large green lights that lit up the room all night so I was unable to sleep. I have never seen this before in any hotel so this needs to be corrected.
On checkout the lady I spoke to couldn’t have cared less and didn’t take any of my feedback on board.
Hotels.com shouldn’t currently be advertising this hotel as it is not fit for purpose with all the renovations taking place.
Food was fantastic, real home cooked food, service was great, staff great, lovely old fire place, very welcoming. The bed very comfortable, the only thing that let it down was the internet was a bit hit and miss.
Not your standard pub hotel. Needed a place to lay my head snd gound this little gem just by chance. Fairly new extension of griund floir rooms built around a courtyard was unexpected as was the rooms, clean, soacious and well maintained. Definatly going in to my thumbs up next time im working around here...
The service was good, our room was very clean and a lovely view!
Meals at the pub were nice…. But the breakfast could be a bit more interesting, variety and quality
