If your going for good staff and food, great choice, if you are stay there take some ear plugs.
Pros:

The staff, bar/restaurant and food, both in the evening and the breakfast was very good, couldnt fault it.

Cons:

The room I found was basic and in need of refreshing, not very soundproofed, you could hear people through the walls, when people were having showers the noise of the running water was very loud. This is not the pubs fault but the church next door chimed on the hour the amount of times to indicate the correct hour every hour, you could hear this very clearly, even though the window is closed and woke me several times.

Pros:

Nothing not to like. The room was comfortable, breakfast was lovely and staff friendly.

Cons:

The only thing if I had to find fault with anything, was that the shower tray was so clean, it was very slippery and a bit of a hazard.

Pros:

Beautiful village. Easy to find the Kings Arms. No problem parking. Friendly & helpful staff. Restaurant standard catering. Bath and separate shower in our ensuite bathroom & plenty of hot water.

Cons:

No blind for bathroom window. Sunday roast didn't include a vegetarian option. The room was cold when we arrived - but did heat up with the radiator on. Walls quite thin so toddler next door very audible especially crying at night.

A really lovely place to stay and would thoroughly recommend
Pros:

The room was comfortable and very clean, there was a good range in the tea and coffee, including a decaff coffee so a big tick from me. No decaff tea though so that might be something to bear in mind. Tv was a bit small but we were only there for two nights so not a big issue. The breakfast was amazing! Proper pork butchers sausages and just enough too . We ate there both nights and again the food was outstanding! Some unusual dishes on the menu and freshly cooked (we even tried eel, which was delicious . All piping hot and very tasty, served by really friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the majority of the team were quite young but they all worked really hard and we had no complaints at all.

Cons:

On the second night and the last morning the shower was cold. When we mentioned it on departure the lady said the boiler needed topping up. In hindsight we should have told them on the Saturday night but that was our error. The mirror in the bedroom was also broken so that really should be replaced as its quite dangerous .
