Lovely, central hotel but room too hot.
Pros:

Loved the location, attractive clean room, great breakfast

Cons:

Unfortunately we struggled to sleep because the room was really hot and if you opened the windows it was too noisy. Otherwise would have been perfect.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, food excellent, let down by road noise and workmen outside our window.
Pros:

Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Room was lovely and perfect location in Woodstock.

Cons:

The property currently, has scaffolding surrounding the building (we know it cannot be helped) and workmen were outside our bedroom window at 8am, felt slightly uncomfortable. Refuse men, delivery and road traffic very noisy, at 5am.

An attractive old inn
Pros:

A really well presented inn. The bedroom was absolutely delightful, though the bathroom door needs some attention so it will shut. Fairly quiet in the restaurant. The duty manager tried his best to find a replacement bulb for our room! A very attractive old town to visit.

Cons:

We wondered what we might have done to upset the waiter at breakfast as he was decidedly offhand with us, which was not pleasant.
This was not typical of the staff in general but affected my rating.

Pros:

Stayed at the Kings Arms many times, always enjoyable, had lunch in the restaurant food always excellent quality. Then up to the room for a snooze after a big lunch. Stayed in most of the rooms in the past all nicely decorated. An early flight on the morning of departure meant we had to miss the breakfast but I remember it always been very good

Cons:

Nothing to dislike
