The Kings Arms is a lovely old pub with wonky beams and floor, but that just adds to the character of the place. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Evening meal was absolutely scrumptious! The only downside is that it's next to the main street running throught the village, but this was remedied by using a good set of ear plugs at bedtime!

The requested room was an ensuite, it had a toilet and bath , no shower which might be problematic for some. The room didn't have a fan which meant I had to have the windows open all night which was noisy. I paid for a basic room and that's what I got.

I had a wonderful stay at The Kings Arms Inn. I visited for two nights for a wedding in the local area and didn't expect much from this last minute booking but the room was just what I needed, clean and comfortable.

The staff were welcoming and I had no issues with my stay.

I also brought some of the group for some food at the pub and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Definitetly would recommend and would stay again :)

Its an old thatched pub and the room shape and conditions reflect that - sloping floors and wonky walls but the bedding , towels etc were clean and fresh. Rooms are above the bar so not quiet until the pub closes. Pub downstairs is friendly and has a good atmosphere with plenty of choice behind the bar. They serve food but I didn't try any so can't comment on that. Reasonably large attached car park although theres no covered area or anything to chain a motorcycle to.

Stayed here for one night and had a meal. Went for sausage and mash, the sausages were the cheapest tasting sausages I’ve ever tried, even worse than chip shop sausages, there was so little taste that I had to ask for some mint sauce to get some flavour!
I left an expensive pillow there, tried calling the pub the morning to say I’d pick it up in a couple of days as I was going to stay again however when they eventually answered the phone they told me that the cleaner had thrown it out. Why they did not just contact me when they realised a guest had left something before throwing other people’s items in the bin I do not know.

Quirky rooms fab food. Needs a returb

General room, Bedding and towels clean. Deep set dirt though due to desperate need of refurb.
Black mould round shower glass, broken shower hose, perished plug for sink.
Be prepared if you want an early night - you hear noise of pub till gone midnight but I didn’t have issue with that.
Quirky room with sloped floor. Staff were great and food excellent, so for £40 for a night was ok in my book!

Room 1 was a disgrace. 1 hanger in wardrobe, only 1 easy chair, 1 bed table light not working. Sink plug didn’t retain water, towel rail broken. Electric powered hot water pathetic. This room is nothing like the ones shown on your website. At checkout just a cleaner around, doors were locked and we were expected to go out the back door and climb at least 10 steps to the top of the car park and round to the side door. When I pointed out my wife used a walking stick the cleaner opened the side door.

A nice place to stay with friendly staff

The service was generally excellent. I was greeted by the inn's landlord Malcolm who showed me to my room. He was very friendly and welcoming upon my arrival and I felt very valued as a customer.

The room was generally clean and peaceful, which was lovely.

The shared shower room/toilet had a faulty ceiling light bulb throughout my 2 night stay. I reported this fault to 2x members of staff on the first night but this was never rectified, and so I had to use my mobile phone to light to room at night time every time I went to use the toilet in there.

Other than this, the stay was very pleasant.

Good value homely pub

A lovely period property with lots of traditional features. A homely room with plenty of storage space.The beds /bedding was clean and soft. As it is in old pub in the country there were a few cobwebs in the corners! The shower room was a little tired. Nevertheless it was generally clean and comfortable and certainly good value for money.
I had a small portion of fish, chips and pees followed by chocolate brownie in the bar which was tasty.The chips were a little dry. In the morning I had a fried breakfast ( the only choice for breakfast). It needed to be ordered in advance. A good hearty plateful .

Adequate for one night stay

Room was basic as per described. Bed was comfortable. Staff were a little forgetful: requested an extra towel - had to be reminded, and the request for breakfast for next morning never got as far as the kitchen! Consequently went to a nice cafe about 3 miles down the road. However we had a meal there at night and that was excellent. Staff were friendly.

A little worn at the edges, but wonderful welcome.

This is a lovely homely village pub, NOT a swanky Country Life establishment. Being a very old building everything is a bit wonky - that is the character. But the room was very warm, the bed was comfortable, the plumbing honked like a steamship but the shower was hot, and everything really was spotlessly clean. The friendly staff could not have been kinder. The chef was off so there was no breakfast but this was explained to me with such good humour I immediately didn't mind. I will certainly stay there again.

Amazing quality

Room was really clean, save for a few cobwebs (the light shade was really cobwebby for some reason). The only negatives were a skirting board thing at the base of the shower had come off and my towel had holes worn through, but those didn't bother me enough to complain. The bed was super comfy. Amazing quality for the price! I had supper in the pub that was very tasty and reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. You can hear a lot from the pub downstairs and it was loud until fairly late but it's a pub so what do you expect!

After a long day in the rain photographing, the Kings arms was a welcome rest stop for the evening before I headed back to another day of event photography. I was shown my room and then i headed downstairs to sit by the fire and enjoy a curry. The noise of the pub was actually fun to hear from my room as pubs are sadly closing all over the country and to visit a real characteristic old one like the Kings arms which was full of laughter is quite a treat. Lovely friendly welcome, comfy beds and hot water for the bath! all lovely xxthankyou xx

Kings Arms Inn

It was a shame. The actual rooms, service and cleanliness was good. However there were two things that spoilt it for us. We were there on a Saturday night and while I don't mind a bit of background pub noise (been to plenty of inns on a Saturday night before), the disco was that loud that I really think those rooms above should be shut. The drums & bass was so loud I couldn't even watch the TV! Fortunately it stopped by about 11.30pm so at least it wasn't an all-nighter! The other thing that counted against was that breakfast wasn't until 9am earliest. As we had to away by 9.15am, it meant we didn't get the breakfast we paid for and had to pay elsewhere for it. I would have thought 8am breakfast should be a minimum. Perhaps I missed the memo. However, like I said, rooms were good and clean. Next time will bring my ear plugs!!

Everything is old fashioned but nothing wrong with what was provided.
Just a bath in my room - no shower.

Not great

Stayed as we were attending a wedding nearby. Room was ok, fairly clean, quite dated. Bathroom useable but run down. When we checked in staff were ok, spoke to the lady and said we were at a wedding. They literally showed us to the room and that wasbit no information at all. Came back to the room just after midnight and couldnt enter the pub. Took us ages to locate the back entrance as its quite hidden but this was open. As i found the entrance my hisband had knocked the door and a staff member came down very disgruntled and told us we were back too late! They knew we were at a wedding so would be back late and also i wouldnt have booked if id known there was a curfew!! If theyd just told us some information when we checked in it would have been fine! Didnt aporeciate being reprimanded like children. Breakfast ok but service with a smile is clearly not a phrase theyve ever heard of and certainly dont entertain. Would stay again and wouldnt reccomend

Cold but with a warn welcome

The staff were helpful and friendly
Food was very good.
The accommodation is however tired and needs an upgrade. Hot water was intermittent. No shower in my room so cold wash only. In saying this this B&B was still good value overall.

Well situated and reasonable value for the price

Clean, comfortable bed. Facilities a bit tired in places but in line with the rating and price. Description of the room hadn't been updated on hotels.com, wrongly showing a 4 poster in room 8 which had been replaced with a modern double. Interesting feature that the bedside lights are now modern touch sensitive with USB A and USB C sockets for charging (with your own cable).
Thin internal walls so you do hear others particularly from the bar (happily they left at 10:15pm).

Spactacularly surpassed expectation!

From initial check-in, to final departure, the staff were very friendly and helpful. As it is an old thatched inn, then obviously one accepts the odd beam/head clearance problem, but the room we had was very clean, and the bed very comfortable. The food served at this pub is spectacular for taste and presentation, and is competitively priced - the extensive menu offers a wide range of dishes, all cooked using fresh produce, and the taste is superb - certainly the best we have ever had in a \"pub\", and a very good match to the sort of thing one can pay huge charges for in so called restaurants! The beer is also great - they have a good cellarman as well.

Terrible. Avoid.

It was not at all clear when booking that there was no shower in en suite and that the room was very noisy above the bar. Hoovering started at 8am. Cleanliness lacking, mouldy curtains, filthy old blind in bathroom. Breakfast was at 8am non-negotiable. No sausage with breakfast, one piece of toast each, coffee machine coffee was terrible. Bar food straight from freezer to fryer and expensive for the quality.

This pub was very friendly and the food and drink was very good especially the real ale.We even manage to play card bingo with the locals which was a good laugh.
The accommadation was good apart from it was a little bit dirty in places.
I would definitely go back for another visit.
Also the pub is about 15mins from Exeter.

Good pub atmosphere in the evening. Dinner menu good but quality mediocre. Breakfast times were fixed at 9 on sun and 8 on Monday which were restrictive

Terrible

I worked nights , Loud music and shouting from downstairs from 8am.
bathroom in terrible state with saniflo not working correctly causing the toilet not to flush properly and the bathroom and entire bedroom smelling of urine on arrival.
Cables under the sink and above the shower not correctly installed and could easily get water into the electrics. I’d be surprised if you have an up to date electrical certificate. I have photos to back this up.

Nice place but breakfast needs looking at!

On arrival very nice to look at. Friendly staff. Room very basic but lovely looking 4 poster bed. The mattress springs were very noisy n kept poking me. Tea and coffee was nicely presented but no sweetners in room or on tables with sugars etc which is what i needed to have a drink. Few cobwebs in room and throughout i didnt like. Evening meal was well presented and good portions. Partner had a King Burger which was in his words the best he'd ever had. The whole meal cost over £40 with two drinks. Very dear but nothing else around nearby like a chippy or anything not in walking distance, think Chinese 7 miles away!! Breakfast was advertised as full english but all he got was 1 egg 2 bacon 4 mushrooms 1 toast n beans half tomato too no sausage!! I asked for a Vegetarian and told its the same no bacon and felt hungry still afterward certainly not as good as a cafe or the previous meal enjoyed the night before. Would we go again. Yes if in the area for evening meal not for breakfast and i dont believe it was all worth £95 a night tbh

Very good value for money for an overnight stop

Classic old pub with accommodation. Basic but everything you need is there (although only a bath, no shower). Helpful staff, good pub food.

Just be aware that some rooms are directly over the bar, so quite noisy until the pub shuts

Stay and property

it was an old pub which we expected. staff were friendly. Shower was to small for average sized people to get in and bed mattress was hard and i didn't get much sleep. Breakfast was not very nice not offered any choice.probably wouldn't stay there any more or recommend it to anybody.

Lovely country pub B&B

A small problem with the room door lock was alleviated by *having* to have a pint in the bar while the lock was fixed ... it's a tough life! Polite, helpful and friendly staff. A splendid stop=over on the way south!
