The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the hot water plentiful. The food was generally good.

The room was a bit on the small side and a wardrobe would have been helpful. Granted there were some hooks for hanging coats, but given the heavy rain,we needed to hang up wet coats which you don't want near clean/dry shirts and dresses. The hollandaise sauce liberally poured over the Eggs Benedict at breakfast was clearly out of a jar (and not the best). Breakfast was good, in a basic sort of way, but could be improved relatively easily. It certainly wasn't bad, but with a little bit more attention to detail, could be lifted to another level. The breakfast serving staff were very good and made our dog very welcome.

The location of the Kings Arms was perfect for visiting Montacute House. The breakfast was wonderful. Great ingredients and lovely presentation. It was easy to modify the options on the breakfast menu. Service from the staff was excellent, very friendly and efficient. Dinner at the hotel is outstanding! Don’t miss out on that.

The accommodation was a bit tired and in need of maintenance. The heated towel rail didn’t work, the light above the mirror didn’t work either. Our room only had one bath towel for 2 of us, but as soon as we asked another one was provided.

I chose The Kings Arms as it was the perfect place to stop on our journey from London to Cornwall, the fact that it looked so lovely was an added bonus. We stayed in an executive suite which was spacious and comfortable. The food at The Kings Arms is amazing, both the dinner and breakfast were superb, the chef also shared his recipe for the sesame tuilles served with the homemade ice creams and sorbets. Every member of staff that we met went the extra mile and were friendly and helpful.

The location, Montecute, is a quiet little village slightly off the main roads which is what we wanted.No traffic zooming by. Saturday night was very busy, a lovely cosy pub atmosphere, which says a lot. The food both the evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Our room was very clean and everything we needed was provided. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well, refreshed for our onward journey. Parking was not a problem. The view from our room was beautiful.

The room was a bit on the smaller side, no wardrobe, but fine for us as we were only there one night.

Multiple breakfast options including various cereals, toast and cooked items. All items were cooked to order and thoroughly recommended. Whilst the dinner menu was limited (compared to a pub chain) it was again all cooked to order. The fish and chips were excellent and served with various sauces. All the staff were helpful and appeared happy in their work which reflected in the pubs ambience. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

The room we were in was on the small side with limited storage space and the double glazed windows were coming to the end of their life creating a coldish room. But the radiator in the room was thermostatically controlled and could be turned on if required. Shower water wasn't overly hot but still acceptable. Great to see a working towel rail which added to the early morning comfort. Be aware the pub is next door to the church and as a result you will hear the clock bells (which strangely chime at 15 minutes past the hour only) but this has to be taken as part of the charm of the village and pubs location.

Location, very nice, good size car park. room nice, quaint, ideal Staff excellent, very nice, considerate, helpful, Food, out of this world, brilliant taste, delicious, wonderful, breakfast was just as good, nowhere near as expensive as we first thought, in fact so affordable we wish it was our local.

Nothing bad to say what so ever did not like to have to leave did not like the crisps and chocolate for snacks was clearly on show but i never saw them but i did mention it to the staff who will look at it

The staff were very welcoming & helpful, the building is beautiful. We had dinner & breakfast which were both very good. The atmosphere in the pub was very relaxed & friendly.

We stayed in room 6 which was a little tired but clean with everything that you needed. The mattress could do with replacing. We had a dog friendly room which was on the ground floor but cars parked outside our window & the owner went back to the car several times, being a warm night we had the window open. I appreciate that not a lot can be done about this.

The staff were the best aspect of this hotel. They were cheerful, helpful and engaging. They did all they could to make our stay as good as possible, allowing us to move to another room with a more firm mattress. The food was very good, both breakfasts and dinners were excellent, tasty and hot. The rooms were a reasonable size, warm (with control of the temperature) and while the first room's mattress was too soft for us, the second room's mattress was nice and firm. Bathrooms were a bit tight but not unexpected in such a historic building. There was lots of hot water for showering and good presssure.

A bit more small detail attention to the rooms, e.g. our first room had a bit of peeling paint in the bathroom, and the sink was cracked (it worked fine).

This is a proper village inn with spacious comfortable rooms. The dining experience was first class and neither did the breakfast disappoint. The room was enormous and the bed was the size of a table tennis table. The quality of the food was excellent and portion sizes very generous.

As was to be expected in an old property, everything creaked, so when I got up to use the bathroom, I woke my wife up! The shower head had a life of its own and I nearly fell flat on my face when I slid across the bathroom floor.

This is such a lovely place to stay, picture perfect, spotlessly clean and the food at both breakfast and dinner was superb. All the staff seem to be incredibly hard working and are all so friendly & kind. The age range of the staff is diverse and all of them treated my elderly parents with good humour & care. Please ignore any negative reviews that you read on here, because if you let them put you off booking The King's Arms, you will miss out on an idyllic English countryside stay.
