An amazing hotel made even better by the 5 star staff. So helpful and friendly. We had breakfast and an evening meal and both were just perfect. Our room had lovely aircon, which was really appreciated. I would recommend the Kings Arms to anyone wanting to go somewhere for a treat.

We booked a cosy room which was very cosy with a decent sized bathroom. It was clean and had an iron and ironing board and Nespresso machine. Parking was across the road from the hotel which was in a quiet location but close to amenities. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open on Sunday night.
