The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"For me it was most definitely the staff. Cheryl & Robert. I arrived and was greeted by them both. As a stranger to the area they settled me into the hotel, which is centrally located in the town. When asking for local taxi numbers Cheryl asked where I was going, once told she offered to take me to my goddaughter wedding venue, above a beyond but greatly appreciate. I dined in the hotel on my first night and the busy bar / lounge meal & atmosphere was fantastic with Robert as our host. Sea bass cooked to perfection. Robert has traveled far and wild and I was able to share my travel stories with him, what a gent. The hotel has old world charm and many stories to tell. A fantastic stay and one I would happily do again."
