Comfortable stay in lovely old pub. Good meal in the quaint pub restaurant.
Pros:

Lovely pub, updated but retaining some old original features.

Cons:

Parking! It was difficult to go to the car park and if no space you had to reverse all the way down the drive! There needs to be a space left clear for turning.

A lovely stay in a great location
Pros:

The hotel is in a lovely location adjacent to a very old church. The hotel itself is also very old and pretty from the outside. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choices and our room and bathroom was big, overlooking the front

Cons:

The lamp illuminating the Kings Arms sign was on the wall immediately next to the bedroom window. As the curtains were very thin our room was quite bright when the bedroom light was out. The early morning sun also came straight through the curtains. Thicker curtains would solve these problems. Althoigh the hotel is charming it is also a little tired in places especially going up the stairs to the bedroom.
