The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

The Kings Arms, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment you enter the Kings Arms you are made welcome by the excellent staff, who are genuinely interested in making your stay as good as possible. Our room for two adults and two children (4 & 8) was perfect, with the sofa-bed made up for the kids. The room was extremely comfortable with an excellent bed, air-con that worked well, a spacious bathroom with tub and shower, a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and biscuits. The breakfasts were amazing and again the serving staff were extremely helpful and friendly. What a wonderful place to stay!"

"The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel was kept well as a historic building. The bath room was clean and recently refurbished. However, bathtub access need to improve for the safety. It was very slippery and no handle to hold. The location to/from beach was excellent and to/from station was easy by a taxi."
