The property could be lifted by a lock of paint everywhere and some new carpets. Thermostat showers would be a bonus. Meal was very good , beef dumpling top notch. Breakfast was 8.00am so we missed it as we needed to be out by 7.45 am so that was a disappointment as looking forward to a hearty breakfast. ##### Caroline Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barbara 27 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The most disgustingly dirty place I have ever stayed in. Clearly hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Dust everywhere, leaves, feathers and bits of rubbish over the floors. Hair from someones hairbrush sitting on the windowsill. Kettle disgusting. The most revoltingly stained duvet I have ever seen. ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lee 18 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A good nights sleep Very comfortable room and generally clean Small piece of broken glass in bathroom and plastic waste bag left in bedroom,also lovely towels but no bath mat in bathroom. The pub is closed to general customers on Sunday evenings and I wasn’t given instructions on how to access the premises when front door was locked,however,I found a rear door open. The Kings Arms is tidy,clean,characterful and served an excellent breakfast. ##### Lee Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Diane 2 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Excellent staff and good bar & dining,rooms not so The ground floor bar and dining area are good with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and a great welcome by staff - I couldn't fault it at all. The place is easy to find and well positioned too with a lovely outdoor area to relax. However, the decor (carpets and general decoration) is in urgent need of being refreshed. The carpets were stained and threadbare in places. Plus the upstairs area / rooms were rather grubby and needed a good clean. That said, the facilities were very good, a comfortable bed with clean and good quality bed linen and the selection of fluffy towels etc was fine. Norbert was wonderful and ensured a good stay otherwise with a good breakfast. ##### Diane Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### JOHN RAYMOND 25 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were welcoming and helpful. However the room and en-suite were not very clean, in particular around the shower and wc. The room stairs and corridor need new carpet and redecoration and the view over the pub service yard not pleasant. The tv remote was the wrong one, we were unable to access the tv guide. Quality of food was good but evening meals were expensive and limited choice. Our room was also not serviced for our second night's stay. The Kings Head need to do better. ##### JOHN RAYMOND Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ayesha 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We liked staying here, the room was nice but unfortunately over looked the yard and although it wasnt extremely noisy we could hear staff milling around fairly early in the morning. So now the fairly negative stuff is out of the way the positives were the pub is a lovely building sympathetically decorated and furnished to the period there is a spacious car park and its situated in a beautiful chocolate box village. Breakfast came as part of our package and didnt disappoint everything was well cooked for those having hot food and a varied selection to cater for all tastes also cereal and juices for you to help yourself to in the dining area. I would have like a 2nd cup of coffee as it was also lovely but i didnt ask so that's my only slight gripe with the breakfast, the staff member on duty in the morning was attentive but not intrusive. We enjoyed our stay and intend to return ##### Ayesha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kenneth 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Overnight Stay Slightly disappointed with our stay , quaint local pub in the village , staff were superb, there was a mix up on arrival as we had booked a 3 person room and we had been allocated a 2 person room. They did suggest putting a mattress on the floor which was not acceptable as our son has steel rods in his back, but one 3 person room had not checked in so the manager switched the booking to that one and after a further delay of an hour we checked in. Didn't really sleep that well as the bed was noisy and heavily worn and then in the morning we waited an hour for breakfast after ordering which was far too long and they were severely understaffed... I actually felt sorry for them and the housekeeper helped out as the poor lad was on his own. Rooms a bit tatty now, and as I said above the bed was soft and heavily worn squeaking away with every movement and TVs didn't work very well. One didn't work at all. What staff did work there were very supportive of the business but the site needs investment now and the rooms need a makeover with new beds. Unfortunately we will not be rebooking in the future which is a pity. ##### Kenneth Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carl 22 Dec 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Some good points, but several disappointments. The listing and the property's own website suggested something quite special, but the reality was a fairly basic and tired pub very much in need of some refurbishment. Kitchen closes at 8.05pm, not 9.00pm as advertised.on their website. Room cleaning / servicing during the stay was completely non-existent and despite asking for missing items to be provided in the room absolutely nothing was done, despite being carefully noted down by a member of the bar staff. No TV remote so TV was unusable. Tired and shabby decor with peeling paintwork and scratched furniture. No storage space of any kind in the ensuite bathroom and poor lighting by the shower. Stair carpet badly worn and not vacuumed in three days, the same dead leaves were on the floor for our entire stay. Very customer toilets, not clean. On the plus side the service staff were friendly and helpful and the food andwas good, despite being overpriced ##### Carl Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy 29 Apr 2025 ##### Nancy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort My stay with friends was good.

Room was very tired, broken shower door, smelly drains, peeling wallpaper, creaky floorboards, warm cold water tap, black mould above the shower. Full English breakfast and teas included, very average as bacon and sausage overcooked. The reviews and website did a lot of heavy lifting for this property which badly needs work and was massively overpriced at £150 for the night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Running Horse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Running-Horse.h14821808.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodites Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Aphrodites-Group.h901033.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Sutton Scotney South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Sutton-Scotney-South.h15087925.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
