Kings Arms Hotel

Kings Arms Hotel

8/10 Good
"As just an fyi, the with is pretty weak, so if you have to work remotely it may be difficult. Also, there is only one small heater for the room and it can be a little difficult to heat the room up. Otherwise, a fine stay - nothing luxurious, but it gets the job done!"
