The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay, our room was spacious, nice large bed and very comfortable, room had full aircon - we were very lucky with superb weather - it would have made all the difference if we could have opened the sealed windows (possibly for safety reasons because our room was on the top floor) just a little bit for fresh air would have been welcome - this would certainly not be a reason for anyone to not stay there, the staff were very pleasant, it's in a great location - just book it, you won't be disappointed it's a very nice Hotel"
