The pub itself and the breakfast were great but the room i had smelled damp and needed some love! The bed was very old with person shape dents in the mattress
The owner came out immediately to fix a light but as he couldn't reassure me that the other rooms were any better I left after one night of no sleep.

The pub on the ground floor was very good. The breakfast was freshly cooked and was excellent. The evening meal was good but spoilt by the plates being cold. I dont understand why kitchens can not serve food on hot plates so that you dont have to rush before it gets cold.
The carpet up to our first floor room was disgusting. Full of holes and very worn.
I paid for a deluxe room but it was pretty old fashioned (although the size was good and the TV was large). The bathroom was fine but the bath needs a mat to prevent you slipping when you using the shower.
I suppose you get what you pay for, but I dont think this hotal is 4 star.

We had a pleasant two nights at The Kings Arms Inn, which is situated in a charming medieval village on the outskirts of Yeovil. The Inn is nicely medieval too with plenty of character. The room was very clean but we were disappointed that the room wasn't larger, as we understood it was bigger than the room we had last year, when we brought our dog. The Inn lets itself down with lack of maintenance in various areas; the carpet up to our room was heavily stained and the window covering was coming off and needed replacing. The staff were very friendly and served us promptly and efficiently. All meals were very good.

The village is delightful and has a fascinating history well worth the visit. The hotel is full of character but is in need of a good deal of work if it is going to cater for tourists otherwise it will fall into disrepair and not be worth considering. Carpets need replacing, rooms need a thorough cleaning, woodwork, like doors and windows, are in need of attention & holes in the walls should be addressed. The lovely lady serving breakfast was welcoming and friendly and breakfast provided a great start to the day. We also had dinner there one night and the servings were generous. I understand that with old buildings it costs a lot to maintain but if left as it is I would not be returning to stay.

This is my go to place when I’m in the area with work. It’s more homely than national brands, and the staff make the place!

The food is good and the great beer on tap, as well as a selection of other tasty drinks. They don’t have air-con and the floorboards can squeak, the parking can be a challenge, especially when busy. Depending on what room you could hear the noise of other guests or the workings of the hotel, but they are clean.

Breakfast is late for lots of places as it starts at 7.30, which is fine if you’re local and don’t have to be in early. The breakfast menu items have changed recently & aren’t reflected on the paper version, like mini croissants and pastries. In my opinion this detracts slightly and can make it a challenge for those in a rush.

My wife and I stayed just one night at the Kings Arms and had an excellent meal and breakfast. Our room was clean and tidy and the en-suite was fine, albeit a little cramped. We had ground floor room 5 and, as is our normal custom, went to bed just before 10:00pm. We then suffered a great deal of noise outside our bedroom windows; singing, shouting and swearing, all coming from the sheltered area just a few metres away. In the end we rang the bar in an attempt to get this stopped, but it carried on until midnight! Such a shame as everything else about the inn was excellent. If you do book a room for an upstairs room at the front of the premises!

Understand that this was one of the cheaper options within the area and only stayed for a night.

Friendly staff and dinner was of a good quality with plenty of options, good level of pub food.

Found the room outdated, noisy and the bathroom extremely cold with a strange smell that was unpleasant.

Bed was a little uncomfortable and hot, didn't get a good night's sleep unfortunately and would recommend ear plugs and an eye mask.

Stayed for two nights in March 2026 - Room 10

Location is really nice - in the centre of a pretty village - and the pub is warm and welcoming from the offset. Pub has its own parking (about 10 spaces I think) but access is a small and winding roadway around the pub with high walls in places. We managed to get our medium sized SUV through in daylight just fine but decided to park on the road when we returned the next day in the dark. There is additional street parking dotted around. Staff were super friendly and efficient at all times. food service was fast and all meals (2x breakfast and one evening meal for us) was very tasty and of great quality. Prices were about average and certainly appropriate for the quality and service. Room was a little disappointing with a few large cobwebs in ceiling corners and a general feel that decoration is probably due. That said, we did notice that other rooms (open doors in morning while cleaners were in) looked nicer than ours so assume gradual decor improvements are underway. All in all we'd certainly stay again and would look forward to the experience.

My room had a mould issue. The bathroom extract fan has clearly not worked for a long time and the room being being quite cold, the warm moist air goes into the bedroom and condenses making the mould grow that bit better.
Breakfast was amazing, dinner was fine but the piece of frozen fish that I had (fish of the day) had a peculiar freezer burn taste to it. Not bad enough to send back, but also not great

Although driving into the car park was uphill, we were able to park quite easily each day. The car park isn't large & is shared with usual patrons as well as residents so could be difficult at times but parking is possible in the street outside. Our room was small but adequate. The en suite was small unfortunately the basin cold water tap was locked & couldn't be used. We reported it in the morning but it was not rectified when we returned despite the best efforts of the staff. We were given bottled water for tea/coffee & teeth cleaning.

Generally OK with good service and helpful staff but rather dated and worn - needs redecorating throughout and new matresses/pillows on beds. Acceptable for 1 or 2 nights but not longer.

Off-road car park is small and difficult to access, made more difficult by staff using the car park. Lots of on street parking available in principle but mostly taken, especially at weekends.

Needs updating.

Tired hotel, mattress could do with replacing, noise from floorboards in room above mine and you could hear word for word the conversations they had required proper soundproofing, Parking is sparse and awkward, all staff friendly, good hot shower, tv was the smallest ever! Needs a general update and ivy removing from window which was growing into the room. Black mould around shower on ceiling, weird musky smell. Could be a very nice hotel but then room rates would double!!

We have stayed at this hotel several times and each time it has been a pleasure. The location, build, staff are amazing. A friendly local pub atmosphere with a fabulous restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Friendly, helpful staff

The staff were very welcoming & informative. The food was excellent.
The bed was comfortably & linen spotless.
My only reservations were that the carpets were very tired & dusty around the furniture & skirting boards & the decor could do with a refresh

Poor Double Bedroom

Our Double Room was basic to say the least. The Mattress should been changed 20 or 30 years ago, was so lumpy, with springs poking through, thoroughly uncomfortable, plus the pillows were cement hard and lifeless.
The en-suit was so compact and they did well to cram in a Shower, WC and Basin, sized for children! The Shower had a Mould above and below it. Electrical socket was coming away from the wall.
However the breakfast was good and the Bar and restaurant area were nice and the staff were very good.

Not for me

Lovely staff, can’t do enough for you. Evening meal was ok but breakfast was very good.
The car park is a nightmare to get out of if you arrive when it’s full and dark.
The bedroom was very cold, and bathroom was even colder. I appreciate it’s a very old building, but you can’t argue that the place is a little tired.
Considering the room rate, I was shocked.

Wonderful food, super friendly staff

The hotel is located just off the A303 which makes it very convenient as a stopover to or from Plymouth ferry. The place is lovely, staff are friendly and very efficient. The food is just fantastic, great menu with some interesting tasty dishes. The only issue we had was with the bed. The mattress was very tired and soft, which wasn’t that comfortable. Saying that we would definitely go back as the rest of the stay was just lovely.

We have stopped off on our trips to the south west on three separate occasions. The pub / hotel is very nice and the staff are very friendly. This time unfortunately the shower didn’t work, only discovered in the morning! We did get a small discount for the inconvenience. The food is always excellent.

lovely old building, wonderful staff and really good food with a very extensive array of drinks behind the bar including a rare whisky.
The bed I slept in was very uncomfortable and the pillows were like rocks - take your own pillow - the windows wouldn't open and the key couldn't be found. Bad nights sleep which is why the average rating.

Great people

Lovely building in a great setting. Our room was very dated and could be noisy at times when other guests used the toilet extractor fans. I think some of the other rooms have been updated.

Everything very clean, and despite the room it was still a very comfortable place to stay. Breakfast was good.

The staff here are absolutely excellent and I would stay here again just because of them. Everyone was friendly, personable and couldn’t do enough for you.

Excellent staff. good food highly recommended.

We booked this hotel as a last minute getaway.
Both myself and my partner would like to praise the management and all the staff for a memorable stay.
Nothing was an issue and from the bar service to the restaurant meal we were made to feel most welcome and the quality of food and presentation was excellent.
We will return and definitely recommend a stay.
Room 11,s layout , decor and furnishings were also very tastefully done with both a large shower and a scroll top bath.
The overall condition of the room was extremely good especially for the rate charged .
Cleanliness was extremely high as well.
I travel with work extensively and stay in numerous hotels throughout the year and have paid a lot more money for less attractive and less appealing rooms and less helpfull and accommodating staff.
We both highly recommended a visit.

Visit

Lovely pub in lovely village. Sadly has become a bit run down - the rooms are very basic, soft mattresses, threadbare carpets in hall, nowhere to hang anything up or put away. The bathroom was freezing, towel rail completely inadequate. However, was as clean as could be made, sheets and towels pristine. Saving grace is the service, which is excellent and very friendly, can't do enough for you, and an amazing breakfast - the food is very good.

Great after first night

Overall great stay - it's a lovely location and food is splendid. But we did request to move room after first night due to the noise of a boiler attached to other side of the wall in room 1. The manager made this move very easy, but of course it would be a different story if they had been fully booked.

Lovely but kitchen fan noise killed it

The hotel and the village are lovely. The pub food likewise and the staff friendly. However, the rooms are very different in terms of their decor with some beautiful and others quite tired. We were in room nine - and there was a consistent noise from an industrial extractor fan from the kitchen which made it impossible to rest (it went off at 11pm and on again at 7.25am). Once activated, the room shook.
We spoke to the staff and no other room was offered, no apology and just a shrug of the shoulders. My cousins, in room 16, had a lovely room and no such issues with the fan on the other side of the building.

Superb

Such a great hotel. The food in the restaurant is out of this world and cooked from scratch. Breakfast followed suit with a great choice and fabulous service. A lovely old hotel steeped in history in a lovely old English village. As you’ll be in the Cheese capital of the world, try the Cheese board after your meal for a delightful end. I hope I get the chance to return one day.
