Great value for the money.
Pros:

Where the Kings Arms stands out is peace and quiet and excellent value for the money. I needed a place to stay as I traveled through by train, and this really hit the mark. The food was solid inn fare.

A delight to stay here. And at a reasonable price. What more could anyone want.
Pros:

Family room was spacious, like a mini suite, exceptionally clean, very comfortable, quiet, light and airy. Check-in simple. Lovely snug front bar and comfy lounge bar. Excellent Sunday roast that was great value. They even let us park our motorcycles in a covered garage area at the rear of the hotel, all included in the price. Location in the centre of town allowed for an after-dinner walk about and stop off at a friendly local pub round the corner.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike. It could not have been any better and all at a reasonable price

Pros:

We arrived in the middle of a very wet day so 1st impression externally were not great. But once in & dry the rooms although small were perfectly good. Good bar & excellent food.

Cons:

Would have like a better selection of hot breakfast options. Having said that the full Scottish was very nice.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the shower was absolutely wonderful – one of the best I've experienced in a hotel.
Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, and the staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. A special mention must go to the chef, who did a fantastic job and made breakfast particularly enjoyable.
Thank you to everyone for such a pleasant stay. I would definitely return in the future.

Yearly trip.
Pros:

Location was good for where we were going. The evening meal was excellent. We had the steak pie which was really lovely.
The staff are friendly. This is the second year I have stayed and I will be back next year.

Cons:

The breakfast was not as good as last years. There seemed to be less choice.
The double room I was in needed a plug in the sink and also the air conditioning in the bathroom took a long time to stop after the light was switched off.
