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"

"Corridors have sensor lights, some of which take a while to light up so it can be dark. Housekeeping was fab with clean towels and refreshments replaced every day. Excellent beach front location. Our room this time was on the 2nd floor with a lovely bay window. We have also stayed in the 1st floor room directly below, both are great rooms. Car parking was heavily discounted at an excellent price."
