Constant clicking from the radiators throughout the night even though they were on 0. I changed it to 3 and still clicking. Woke me up at 3am. Had to put background noise on to drown it out. Milk available but out of date. Staff were incredibly lovely, very welcoming!

A pleasant overnight stay

We had a pleasant overnight stay on our way home from Scotland. The room was fine,very clean and well presented. There was no TV but we didn't need it. The bathroom had an easy access walk-in shower which was good for anyone with disabilities. However, we believe that all the rooms were accessed by a short but steep flight of stairs which were not easy for a disabled customer. Dinner was very good from a reasonably good menu.

Excellent stay. Surprised it was only 2 and a half star. Room was excellent and clean. All staff were so nice but a special shout out to Lauren (I hope I spelt that right) who was on her feet working and tidying from late at night and up working first thing in the morning. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and was a very nice lady to talk to always making sure we were settled and happy, and we only stayed for one night sadly. We will definitely come back soon.

A lovely comfortable hotel

The Kings Arms was near our main route but in a quiet village. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was very comfortable and there were considerate touches eg. a little bottle of skimmed milk and a couple of sachets of oat milk as well as the usual tea and coffee. There was a socket conveniently below a mirror so I was able to dry and style my hair without any problem. The only criticism was that our room was above the lounge and we were subjected to loud singing and playing for over 3 hours. It was not possible to sleep until it stopped.

Wasn’t aware until shortly before our visit that we’d booked during the Appleby Horse Fair so following a Police advisory, they weren’t selling alcohol. Which was a shame as I like to drink local brewery beer when away, but we were allowed to bring our own bottles. In all other respects, our stay was amazing!
