What guests think
At The Kings Arms, travellers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming team, the generally tasty pub food and breakfasts, and the scenic, convenient location, while several reviews note dated rooms and inconsistent cleanliness that could use attention.
Many mention very comfortable beds and enjoyable outdoor spaces such as the patio and beer garden. Room drawbacks include some bathrooms with only a bath (no standing shower), occasional TV problems, and a few maintenance niggles. A few guests found prices high, breakfast service slow at times, and no dinner service on Monday nights. Expect a characterful pub stay with some quirks.

The fact its a nice building. In a nuvmce area. The food is very poor and overpriced. We had Sunday lunch it was very disapointing. The breakfast bacon was burnt. The kettle in the room was filthy, the tv remote did not work properly, the toilet was very noisy refilling for ages. The bathroom very dated. Window was in disrepair. Loads of wasps in garden so uncompfortable to sit outside. Swearing coming from the kitchen from the chef who didnt look hygenic no apron. Not one nember of staff asked about our food or our stay. They all came across as mates just hanging out, unsure who was in charge.

Lovely pub, very friendly & helpful staff. Dined in the evening & had a lovely meal and a really good breakfast the next morning with lots of choices. The bedroom was a little disappointing, it could do with a deep clean, lots of dust etc and no standing shower facility, which is a problem when you are 6ft 3” & the bathroom has sloping ceilings! Admittedly I understand not everyone is 6ft 3” so it’s not the pubs fault but something to bear in mind when booking. On the whole a pleasant stay & certainly value for money given a fabulous breakfast is included.

Rooms Dark. Dirty to the extreme and needs total Renee action to modern standards. Breakfast quality and quantity was very poor also. Only plus was the Manager crystal who was pleasant. The rooms have Paper for the walls and ceilings and No noise proofing. The blind are not long enough on windows so car parking allows people to view inside , it’s just really tired and badly prepared. Needs a DEEP CLEAN & DECORATING

I have stayed here on a few occasions and the main reason for coming back is the location. The walks roundabout are simply. beautiful. The hotel itself has some real pluses - it is quirky and full of character. But this does translate in some cases as shabby (threadbare carpet). The breakfast cooked to order is delicious. I love that they offer fresh milk of your choice and not those horrible sachets/pots of UHT milk - nice touch. However, there is not enough light in the rooms and at the moment there is no restaurant in the evening on Monday's and Tuesday's. But the communication is second to none and that is why, despite a few grumbles, I will go back.

I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to stay very long but, what I did see was very interesting as an ‘olde worlde’ British pub. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was generous and very tasty. The one thing that was a disconcerting surprise was the fact that on Monday morning, I was suddenly informed that there was no food on Monday nights; this was in spite of two or three emails asking if I wanted to book a table for the evening meal for the two nights I was staying there.

A nice country pub with adequate facilities. All the food we had was good. Well located for our visit to Highgrove. However the breakfast service was very slow and we had to complain. The staff refunded our breakfast costs as a result.

Excellent team who made us feel very welcome. Great dinner and breakfast (normally stressful for a dairy-free and gluten-free person). Excellent service, which was quick but not intrusive and very well informed. A lovely pub in a great location with a superb team working there. Thank you

The fact its a nice building. In a nuvmce area. The food is very poor and overpriced. We had Sunday lunch it was very disapointing. The breakfast bacon was burnt. The kettle in the room was filthy, the tv remote did not work properly, the toilet was very noisy refilling for ages. The bathroom very dated. Window was in disrepair. Loads of wasps in garden so uncompfortable to sit outside. Swearing coming from the kitchen from the chef who didnt look hygenic no apron. Not one nember of staff asked about our food or our stay. They all came across as mates just hanging out, unsure who was in charge.

Very helpful staff. Excellent food in restaurant. Breakfasts were selected night before and could be tailored to individual preferences. Gluten free was reasonably catered for. A very enjoyable two nights.

Arrived to a twin room when we’d booked a double. Service in restaurant was slow with inattentive staff. Breakfast was disappointing as had to pre order the night before (like I know what I want the next day) and still took 30 mins to arrive! Shower was stuck on “strip your skin off” temperature with no adjustment possible.

Can't I give the staff 6 out of 5? Never mind, the room was amazing, spotlessly clean, attention to detail was fantastic, and then the meal. Well, my partner has Colitis so we need to avoid all dairy, so for the meal, we asked a bunch of questions, nothing was too much trouble with the staff back and forwards to the chef to confirm what was ok. Needless to say, the food was perfect, completely faultless. Next time in the area, we will be back.
