To stay at the Kings Arms Hotel is to experience the legacies, in modern day comfort and luxury, of a true Coaching Inn. A warm and friendly smile awaits you from our well trained staff, who's aim is to make your stay one of many.

The 36 cosy bedrooms all have TV, telephone and hospitality tray and whether you are looking to book a romantic break staying in one of the 4 poster bedrooms, a family holiday with the children, an energetic break walking with your dog or just of couple of relaxing days, there are rooms to suit all.
