Lovely place for a mini break
Pros:

We had a mini break at the Kings Arms to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked it on Hotels.com and got a 10% discount with my Vectis Card which was a bonus. The accommodation at the Kings Arms was excellent - lovely room, with all the usual fittings and accessories. We were pleased to find a fan was supplied as well as it was a very hot night. Evening meal was delicious - I had pheasant and my wife had catch of the day . We didn't book a breakfast, but I'm sure that would have been delicious too. Staff very friendly . Altogether a really good experience.

Pros:

The suite we had was comfortable and well equipped. The bed was high off the ground which made it difficult for a short person to get in and the sofa was so low that it provided a bit of a challenge to get off it. However, that was all part of the charm of the King's Arms.

A very quiet location
Pros:

Historic building in beautiful small village. Room had all expected facilities and good quality with a very nice en suite. Comfortable bed but sofa a bit low for us older people!
Because we booked for a Monday night there were no bar nor restaurant open - we were warned beforehand - and we saw no one during our overnight stay. Instructions gave us phone access to someone based on site and an off site manager

Great accommodation with excellent restaurant..
Pros:

We spent three nights and had meals two nights in the restaurant. The food was excellent with an interesting menu which included a variety of local game.
The accommodation was spotlessly clean and could not be faulted.
