We stayed here a few years ago so decided to revisit. Overall it was fine, but there were little niggles: the ceiling light above the bed flashed when we moved on the bed and the bedside drawers hadn't been cleaned. The room looked recently decorated and the bathroom was very clean, although the towels were frayed. The bed was a bit hard for our personal taste but we slept reasonably well. Breakfasts were lovely! We had drinks in the bar one night and they were reasonably priced. We didn't have dinner as we were visiting family.

Lovely little pub with rooms
Our host was friendly and cooked up a lovely breakfast in the morning! Brilliant having the fridge with bottled water and fresh milk available. The room was too hot for us (we like a cooler temperature to sleep in) but we couldn't turn the radiators down or off. However the bed was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

Proper pub with a big heart!
Small village pub with a warm welcome, good food and smart rooms. Great touches - fresh milk and cold water + a freshly cooked breakfast - superior to a chain any day!

Many thanks for your review. You were our 1st guest since the lockdown started in March & we're "slightly" nervous with re-opening & whether we were doing things right, so positive feed back like yours is very welcome. Many thanks & hope to look forward to welcoming you again. Mark & Mike

Standard stay.
Wasn't entirely as expected, it's my mistake as I didn't read the check in time, however after a short wait I was checked in early.. Idint have any electricity tho asa breaker was tripped. A short wait laterand again the management sorted it.. Bedwas comfortable however noise from the pub downstairs took alot of getting used to. I don't think there is any sound proofing in the room. Overall management was very attentive, nice clean tidy room, happy with my stay, only negative was the noise but its a pub it has to be expected. Thank you.

The room was very nice with an ensuite shower. The bed was very comfortable. The pub sold great beer. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was exceptionally good. All in all I had an excellent night at the Kings Arms and would really recommend it when compared to other hotels/bnbs in the area.

The King's Arms was close to Melton Mowbray and offered a clean and comfortable room. The owner was not there at the appointed time and when he arrived said we were there early. I produced the confirmation letter with the time and he said oh well other booking agents had a different time. Our time was the time we arrived. No apology was given

Lovely village good pub check breakfast day before
I must admit I had thought that the Hotel was in Melton Mowbray, as per its address, not a few miles outside the town. It is in a delightful small village and the drive into Melton was easy. The room was lovely and the shower excellent. We ate in the pub in the evening, the food was good and the wine excellent value. The only hiccough was a misunderstanding about breakfast arrangements. We had not realised that if you don't want a full breakfast then you have to say the evening before. But this was sorted out in the morning.

Many thanks for your review & your comments are noted, with regard to the toilet seat that will be secured or replaced, breakfast I am somewhat "stumped on" as Mark will cook any combination of breakfast requirements at a time to suit the guest. We do air the rooms, we have windows open during the day but close them up & put the central heating on 1 hour before guests arrive to ensure the rooms are warm & welcoming.

Room is comfortable snd very quiet once the pub has closed. Friendly staff and excellent food. Also in a very convenient location for us. Only niggle is that the toilet seat in Grange View room is a bit crooked and the lid has a tendency to hit you in the back when sitting on the toilet!

Great English village inn
The Kings Arms is an excellent village inn. The bedroom I stayed in (1 of only 2) was tastefully furnished and the bed was gorgeous. The bar has two real ales, both very good, the restaurant food was excellent. They do a variety of home made hand raised pies, the chicken and ham was terrific. Breakfast was cereal, fruit juice, coffee, full English, toast and jam - set up for the day ahead. I'll happily stay here again.
