Managed to take us in despite not having a booking and being quite busy. The Sunday roast was out of this world amazing, the chicken was so succulent. Cozy atmosphere, fantastic service.

This was our second stay here, & it was even better than the first. Very spacious comfortable room, excellent food & outstanding staff. Over the past 8 years we have stayed at The Stag, The Bell & Stowe Lodge, they were all good but The Kings Arms surpasses them all in our opinion. We will definitely be returning.
