Welcoming and courteous staff
The bedrooms and general hotel areas are spotlessly clean and inviting.
Full breakfast was lovely and cooked to order. Hotel menu offers a good selection for day and evening dining.
Would definitely recommend. We will be back !

Excellent overnight stop on the road.
Over night stop driving from Aldershot to Orkney Islands. I just wanted a reasonable priced simlple hotel fir one night and the Kings Arms was just that very near the motorway. Nice clean room small but not tired with a good tv. I had BnB and the breakfast was very good too. I did not eat supper in the hotel.

Very good in-town Victorian hotel. Rooms recently refurbished to a high standard. Google maps tells me this is a two star hotel, but it's much better than that. I'd give it 3 1/2 or even 4. Food is good too with an emphasis on local sourcing. Inevitably, some road noise for rooms to the front.

Great hotel in the town centre. The room was warm and the bed was very comfy. I parked outside the hotel as i had a van. All in it was a very enjoyable stay and i would return again when in the area.

Parking was not as expected as there was no Hotel parking
Breakfast was left to one staff person and the place was largely deserted.
