From arriving to some locals swearing in the bar to leaving 30 mins later I'm afraid my experience of the Old King's Arms wasn't great. Bed hadn't been made up (as laundry company had failed to turn up), taps and shower were dirty (toothpaste, soap), and the bathroom bin hadn't been tidied. Asked for the room to be changed and...

Had a room above the pub, I feel in the original part of the building...right above where the DJ was.........although slept well, nice room, wonky floor but that is due to the buildings age, superb shower.......nice black out curtains. Breakfast on the small and light side, however, when we set off back to Yorkshire the lady made us some bacon... More

Booked for me by my employer as slightly cheaper than Holiday Inn (although I think Holiday Inn would have done a deal if asked) booked in advance for B & B and evening meal. On arrival there was no record of my booking it turns out that it was booked with previous manager who had left the day before got... More

I stayed at this very tired pub with rooms above in mid February when the temperatures were very low. When I made comment about the condition, and access to the rooms I was told that they had recently changed hands but "new broom sweeps clean" would have been noticeable. My room was accessed through a maze of staircases and corridors... More

External appearance is a little off putting but the quality of the rooms and shower make up for it

We paid for a Deluxe room and on previous stays this would be one of the rooms upstairs however we were given a disabled room downstairs, the room was small, dirty and dusty, paint coming of the walls and the bathroom needs some TLC, the lady who served us on our arrival was more interested in her social life -...

This pub doesn't look that special from the outside (I arrived alone late at night) but inside the staff could not have been more helpful and the room was really good - modern clean and a good size. If I needed a hotel here again I would defintely rebook this.

I had a party in the pub for my 30th and stayed over in one of the rooms with my partner. I was welcomed and shown to our room. We were provided with a free drink on arrival. The room itself was very modern and the bed was comfortable, with tv, lovely shower and an added bonus was the air... More
