What guests think
At Kings Arms Inn, guests describe a characterful old pub with notably friendly staff, good value, and convenient access to Exeter, while recurring drawbacks include late bar noise, dated accommodation, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues.
Evening meals are frequently praised for taste and value, but breakfast quality, options, timing, and coffee range from very good to disappointing. Rooms are basic and characterful with sloped floors, and comfort varies: some beds are comfy while others are hard or noisy, and Wi-Fi is often weak. Expect a budget pub stay with charm, helpful people, and trade-offs in modernity and quiet.

Clean, comfortable bed. Facilities a bit tired in places but in line with the rating and price. Description of the room hadn't been updated on hotels.com, wrongly showing a 4 poster in room 8 which had been replaced with a modern double. Interesting feature that the bedside lights are now modern touch sensitive with USB A and USB C sockets for charging (with your own cable). Thin internal walls so you do hear others particularly from the bar (happily they left at 10:15pm).

After a long day in the rain photographing, the Kings arms was a welcome rest stop for the evening before I headed back to another day of event photography. I was shown my room and then i headed downstairs to sit by the fire and enjoy a curry. The noise of the pub was actually fun to hear from my room as pubs are sadly closing all over the country and to visit a real characteristic old one like the Kings arms which was full of laughter is quite a treat. Lovely friendly welcome, comfy beds and hot water for the bath! all lovely xxthankyou xx

Particular concerns re. Showerroom. Cramped but more important quite a lot of mould round shower and superficial cleaning. Not an acceptable standard although we did not complain as the cost was competitive. Evening food was fine. Breakfast was OK but a bit limited, no hash browns, no sausages We would not recommend.

This is a lovely homely village pub, NOT a swanky Country Life establishment. Being a very old building everything is a bit wonky - that is the character. But the room was very warm, the bed was comfortable, the plumbing honked like a steamship but the shower was hot, and everything really was spotlessly clean. The friendly staff could not have been kinder. The chef was off so there was no breakfast but this was explained to me with such good humour I immediately didn't mind. I will certainly stay there again.

Overall I had a nice day at this place and I'm just leaving review to note a few things for improvement . Cleaning needs to be more thorough in the bathrooms. The mattress should be replaced. Staff were great and food was tasty. Be aware nose floats up from the bar. Once it's closed the place is very quiet.

Room was really clean, save for a few cobwebs (the light shade was really cobwebby for some reason). The only negatives were a skirting board thing at the base of the shower had come off and my towel had holes worn through, but those didn't bother me enough to complain. The bed was super comfy. Amazing quality for the price! I had supper in the pub that was very tasty and reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. You can hear a lot from the pub downstairs and it was loud until fairly late but it's a pub so what do you expect!

A lovely period property with lots of traditional features. A homely room with plenty of storage space.The beds /bedding was clean and soft. As it is in old pub in the country there were a few cobwebs in the corners! The shower room was a little tired. Nevertheless it was generally clean and comfortable and certainly good value for money. I had a small portion of fish, chips and pees followed by chocolate brownie in the bar which was tasty.The chips were a little dry. In the morning I had a fried breakfast ( the only choice for breakfast). It needed to be ordered in advance. A good hearty plateful .

General room, Bedding and towels clean. Deep set dirt though due to desperate need of refurb. Black mould round shower glass, broken shower hose, perished plug for sink. Be prepared if you want an early night - you hear noise of pub till gone midnight but I didn’t have issue with that. Quirky room with sloped floor. Staff were great and food excellent, so for £40 for a night was ok in my book!

Description of the room hadn't been updated on hotels.com, wrongly showing a 4 poster in room 8 which had been replaced with a modern double. Interesting feature that the bedside lights are now modern touch sensitive with USB A and USB C sockets for charging (with your own cable). Thin internal walls so you do hear others particularly from the bar (happily they left at 10:15pm).

Stayed here for one night and had a meal. Went for sausage and mash, the sausages were the cheapest tasting sausages I’ve ever tried, even worse than chip shop sausages, there was so little taste that I had to ask for some mint sauce to get some flavour! I left an expensive pillow there, tried calling the pub the morning to say I’d pick it up in a couple of days as I was going to stay again however when they eventually answered the phone they told me that the cleaner had thrown it out. Why they did not just contact me when they realised a guest had left something before throwing other people’s items in the bin I do not know.

Room was basic as per described. Bed was comfortable. Staff were a little forgetful: requested an extra towel - had to be reminded, and the request for breakfast for next morning never got as far as the kitchen! Consequently went to a nice cafe about 3 miles down the road. However we had a meal there at night and that was excellent. Staff were friendly.

The service was generally excellent. I was greeted by the inn's landlord Malcolm who showed me to my room. He was very friendly and welcoming upon my arrival and I felt very valued as a customer. The room was generally clean and peaceful, which was lovely. The shared shower room/toilet had a faulty ceiling light bulb throughout my 2 night stay. I reported this fault to 2x members of staff on the first night but this was never rectified, and so I had to use my mobile phone to light to room at night time every time I went to use the toilet in there. Other than this, the stay was very pleasant.

Very passable basic room for a very good price. Can't complain for the money it cost. Clean and comfortable enough and friendly staff but the shower wasn't great (broken attachment to the rail) and the coffee at breakfast was undrinkable.

Stayed here for one night and had a meal. Went for sausage and mash, the sausages were the cheapest tasting sausages I’ve ever tried, even worse than chip shop sausages, there was so little taste that I had to ask for some mint sauce to get some flavour! I left an expensive pillow there, tried calling the pub the morning to say I’d pick it up in a couple of days as I was going to stay again however when they eventually answered the phone they told me that the cleaner had thrown it out. Why they did not just contact me when they realised a guest had left something before throwing other people’s items in the bin I do not know.

Room was basic as per described. Bed was comfortable. Staff were a little forgetful: requested an extra towel - had to be reminded, and the request for breakfast for next morning never got as far as the kitchen! Consequently went to a nice cafe about 3 miles down the road. However we had a meal there at night and that was excellent. Staff were friendly.

A lovely period property with lots of traditional features. A homely room with plenty of storage space.The beds /bedding was clean and soft. As it is in old pub in the country there were a few cobwebs in the corners! The shower room was a little tired. Nevertheless it was generally clean and comfortable and certainly good value for money. I had a small portion of fish, chips and pees followed by chocolate brownie in the bar which was tasty.The chips were a little dry. In the morning I had a fried breakfast ( the only choice for breakfast). It needed to be ordered in advance. A good hearty plateful .

General room, Bedding and towels clean. Deep set dirt though due to desperate need of refurb. Black mould round shower glass, broken shower hose, perished plug for sink. Be prepared if you want an early night - you hear noise of pub till gone midnight but I didn’t have issue with that. Quirky room with sloped floor. Staff were great and food excellent, so for £40 for a night was ok in my book!

The Kings Arms is a lovely old pub with wonky beams and floor, but that just adds to the character of the place. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Evening meal was absolutely scrumptious! The only downside is that it's next to the main street running throught the village, but this was remedied by using a good set of ear plugs at bedtime!

Room was in need of refurbishment. Peeling paint, loose toilet seat,wonky doors and cupboards. Bed linen was clean but the curtains need more hooks and general cleaning was not good. We asked to change room for a shower but we're told fully booked but ours was the only car in the car park??? Would not recommend to anyone 😕
