At The Kings Arms, reviewers highlight a friendly pub-with-rooms experience in a characterful historic building, with consistently praised staff, hearty breakfasts and pub meals, generally clean spaces, and compact bedrooms typical of an old inn.
Some rooms lack external windows or feel hot or stuffy, and a few guests mention dated elements or minor heating and hot water issues. The village location and pub atmosphere are widely appreciated, and several guests note quiet stays despite the setting. A handful of reviews mention lapses such as slow or missed breakfast service and steep or dimly lit stairs to the rooms. Expect a friendly, traditional stay with compact rooms in a village pub setting.

Staff excellent, room very small no chair or even room for bags. Wifi in room also poor. Bar food and service excellent and the welcome pack and light breakfast choice good. Clean but the building is ageing. The steps to the rooms really need to be illuminated or there will be a fall

Dating from 1502 a very vibrant pub with good wholesome food conveniently located in a lovely town with a village feel. Not a venue for guests expecting 21 century luxury, would suit down to earth guests wanting to meet the locals.

Really enjoyed our stay though we didn't have time to explore Eccleshall. Decided to eat at the hotel rather than venture out and we were glad we did. Really good food and excellent atmosphere (we were even offered birthday cake by the party that was being held there). No coffee etc in room, but rather there was an extensive selection in a lounge area. All staff very friendly. Yes we had to register our car to use the car park, but we were prompted to provide our registration when we checked in, and it was entered into the system for us.

We were here for one night as a stop over. OK for £85 a night we didn't expect a boutique hotel and yes this is an an old establishment but the first room offered had no window except the window in the separate bathroom. It was cramped, tired and extremely stuffy. The second room at least had a window in the bedroom but was even more stuffy, so the windows were opened to get some fresh air in. Unfortunately, there was an ventilation fan running outside and although this did go off around 10pm. A continental breakfast was offered but this was served in a rather grubby "lounge" area. The bread looked as if it had been there for a while as one of the loaves was mouldy. We didn't eat food offering in the hotel but went elsewhere. On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful when we asked to changed rooms. I have tried to be as objective as possible but we were really glad that we were only staying one night.

We were visiting family who live in the area. The pub was very good for drinks. The room we were given was extremely hot when we arrived as the radiator was on full, we turned it off and left the door open for a few minutes to let the heat out. We couldn't open the window for some fresh air, so the room was very stuffy. The pillows are like bags of rock and uncomfortable. Our biggest problem was breakfast which was supposed to be included. At check-in we were asked what time we wanted breakfast, we selected 8am. At 7.50am we went down to the pub but was locked up. We returned at 8am it was still locked up and a lady was waiting for it to open, I assume she was an employee. We went back up to our room at 8.05am and packed our bags returning downstairs to the pub for breakfast at 8.15am. We gave up at 8.26am and drove away to find somewhere to eat breakfast. I received an email later in the morning asking if they could call me to explain, i replied by asking them to explain in an email, never heard anything back. We would never stay here again.

This is Olde style English Hotel & retains the Olde world charm. We enjoyed our stay as it was an overnight stay on our south to Stratford upon Avon, Eastbourne & London. The owners were very friendly & make you feel welcome. A part of going there was I lived in Eccleshall 54 years ago & visited the place/ home we used to live in. Even more bizarre when we were walking near the Church we met Roger Wood the past Vicar who was the son of Gaffer FW Wood my old Headmaster this is fate

Lovely stay but made amazing by the Chefs. If you have the opportunity to visit be sure to have one of their specialty burgers - Salt & Pepper Chicken Burger or the Lamb Feta Burger. Both amazing and on my top 10 of best evers.

We were here for one night as a stop over. OK for £85 a night we didn't expect a boutique hotel and yes this is an an old establishment but the first room offered had no window except the window in the separate bathroom. It was cramped, tired and extremely stuffy. The second room at least had a window in the bedroom but was even more stuffy, so the windows were opened to get some fresh air in. Unfortunately, there was an ventilation fan running outside and although this did go off around 10pm. A continental breakfast was offered but this was served in a rather grubby "lounge" area. The bread looked as if it had been there for a while as one of the loaves was mouldy. We didn't eat food offering in the hotel but went elsewhere. On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful when we asked to changed rooms. I have tried to be as objective as possible but we were really glad that we were only staying one night.

We were visiting family who live in the area. The pub was very good for drinks. The room we were given was extremely hot when we arrived as the radiator was on full, we turned it off and left the door open for a few minutes to let the heat out. We couldn't open the window for some fresh air, so the room was very stuffy. The pillows are like bags of rock and uncomfortable. Our biggest problem was breakfast which was supposed to be included. At check-in we were asked what time we wanted breakfast, we selected 8am. At 7.50am we went down to the pub but was locked up. We returned at 8am it was still locked up and a lady was waiting for it to open, I assume she was an employee. We went back up to our room at 8.05am and packed our bags returning downstairs to the pub for breakfast at 8.15am. We gave up at 8.26am and drove away to find somewhere to eat breakfast. I received an email later in the morning asking if they could call me to explain, i replied by asking them to explain in an email, never heard anything back. We would never stay here again.

Excellent in all respects. Huge breakfast, beautifully cooked, but too much for an old fella like me. Friendly staff and a pleasant, cosy bar.

A very quaint pub/Hotel to stay. The bedrooms are separate to the pub area so no noise. Common lounge with settee and biscuits/tea/coffee/hot chocolate all available 24 hours. Excellent full English breakfast. Staff efficient and friendly.

A relaxed pub with lovely rooms and great food. The menu is really nice with a lot of choice. Really good coffee which they have spent time getting right. I will definitely stay here again if in the area as it’s great value and I loved the food.

Lovely really old building. The staff were excellent. The evening meal in the bar was great. The room was very small with very few amenities. Breakfast was just cereal and toast help yourself on the landing.

Staff were all friendly and helpful. There was a bit of bar noise through to the room but it is an old building so not unexpected. Breakfast on weekdays is continental in a small lounge area on the same level as the rooms, I quite liked this as it was self service, cereal, milk, tea, coffee, bread for toasting and butter/jam all readily available. We didn’t have breakfast on the Saturday morning so can’t comment on cooked breakfast. We ate in one night and the food was good with plenty of choice. The staff logged the car registration number for their parking system.
