The dining room is very spacious and there are some lovely paintings on the walls which you can purchase. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We have... More

A wonderful place to stay with good food, a friendly atmosphere and attentive staff. We could not have been made to feel more welcome. The commitment to going above and beyond normal service was demonstrated best when I realised I forgot my black shoes 30 mins before I had to leave to attend the wedding. A pair was quickly found...

We could not have had more attention if we had been celebrities. The planning given by Wendy throughout the past weeks was excellent and on the day the staff were wonderful. We cannot thank them enough for making our day one we will remember always. We have had nothing but excellent remarks from all our guests regarding the venue, food... More

Visited the Kings Arms on a busy Friday of the whitsun bank holiday. Really good rooms and lovely restaurant. Had a great meal (try the 'Jospered' dishes they are fantastic). Only criticism is that we had booked a table for 19:30 but came in earlier for a drink - sat at a table in the bar (not laid up for... More

The room, restaurant, staff, and location were all very good. The owner/managers were very friendly and accommodating to all patrons, even when it was very busy. We wish them all the best going forward.

I stayed here recently while dropping a friend to Sherborne School. This hotel was simply brilliant... one of the best small hotels I have stayed at recently. The staff was service oriented while remaining genuinely personal and I honestly felt like I was at home for the day and a night I spent there. The hotel has been freshly renovated... More

We enjoyed our first visit so much we reconvened for a second. Lovely food, great service (with a smile) from booking to departure, clean spacious room (Crystal this time), property kept in tip top condition. Love the art work adorning the walls and only sad most of the "cow" display has either been either purchased or replaced - please don't... More

Went here hoping for a special 31st anniversary dinner after reading so many good reviews. Arrived 7.40 for table booked for 8pm and directed to wait in 'snug' with drinks before being seated. We waited politely until 8.15 before my wife asked if our table was ready. The staff looked confused why we'd sked and immediately directed us into the... More

We eat regularly at the Kings Arms and have always enjoyed excellent food and a very warm friendly welcome with impeccable service. For this reason I decided to hold my 40th Birthday celebrations here. I had 40 guests so was given exclusive use of the restaurant area (there is also a bar area which serves food) All arrangements were competently... More
