    See above

    The room we were first given was noisy at certain times because it was directly over the kitchen. We were moved to a different room for the second night which was at front of the hotel and much better.

    For the cost would have expected better breakfast choice, sliced white bread and packet cereal is not up to £130 per night. Upstairs Hallways used for storage.

    Quiet comfortably room, out of the way location , very useful to have a lift. Well equipped rooms.

    Minor niggle, entrance to car park not obvious if your first arrival is in the dark. No dog friendly room.

    Dinner and breakfast were superb. The overall cleanliness and quality of furniture, fixtures, fittings and materials was very high and justified the price. The staff were great; couldn't be more helpful. Loved the walk-in shower. Loved the air conditioning unit in the cupboard (didn't need it but good it's there).

    Softer lighting in the bar at night would be a good touch.

    I enjoyed my two-day weekend stay at The Kings Arms - a great location in a pretty village. The room was tastefully decorated, immaculate and comfortable. The staff were attentive and friendly. The breakfast menu is excellent. I ordered a Full English. An elderly couple went for kippers - they were delighted and said it reminded them of the old days. I would stay here again. Thank you!
