Clean and comfortable place to stay.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable room (the shower dripped a bit though even though it looked newish to me). Parking a bit tricky, managed to get out though without too much manoeuvring.

A night in the embrace of the Kings Arms
Pros:

The pub was quite noisy as it was a saturday night but from the bedroom you could not hear any of the internal noise.
Car Park is tiny but everyone was helpful in changing positions to allow for exits.Staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout. The room was too hot throughout thee night which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. I was looking forward to a full english breakfast so was dismayed to be handed a brown paper bag for breakfast which although generously packed was no substitute.

Pros:

It was the perfect place for our stay as it was very
close to the church, where we were attending a concert. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The room was lovely, very clean & well presented, with an excellent shower & very comfy beds. The big downside was the noise from the pub’s outside space until the early hours of the morning. We expected some noise, of course, but this was a bit much - only managed 5-hrs sleep. But overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice stay, but can be noisy.
Pros:

Nice location and friendly staff. Room was fine but right on the street so can be a bit noisy on weekend nights. Unfortunately there was an event in the village until 2am on the night we stayed, which was a bit noisy. Not the hotels fault, but it did disturb our sleep.

Pros:

I would definitely stay again. The staff were really helpful when I said I’d be there very late, finding a way to help me check in smoothly. There was no cooked breakfast option - which is in the listing - but tea and coffee in the room, and a snack pack was provided (which I hadn’t expected). Staff went out of their way to help me park - the car park is small, but they found a way. This is an old building, and rooms aren’t sound-proofed in the way of modern hotels, but the cost was also half of what I might pay elsewhere. A good value option if you’re needing to stay close to the coast on a budget (who isn’t on a budget these days?), with helpful staff. I will return.

Miss a stay here and you miss a real treat!
Pros:

From the immediate warm and genuinely friendly welcome, to the home cooked, delicious pub food, we could not fault this delightful inn. I have to be honest, I was not expecting the high standard we experienced for the price paid and so were especially delighted. The lovely touch of two (unexpected) continental breakfasts in 'go bags' for our onward journey the next day to the wonderfully comfortable bed and the obvious pride everyone we met takes in their property I cannot praise them highly enough - thank you !
