Disappointing Night
It was New Years Eve I had already been sent the menus. I had pre ordered 3 from the Christmas Menu and was told that the other 3 from the normal/specials menus could order on the night. When we checked in I was told other than the pre orders it was Sunday lunch menu only. I challenged this and was told they would have a word with the kitchen team. Meanwhile we were shown to our room which was in serious need of some TLC. A Christmas tree outside the window with lights could be turned off but that didn't stop the cold air coming through where the wires were. In the bathroom the wood surrounding the shower door was rotten and the towel rail came away from the wall. The other 2 rooms again needed some TLC and had hairs in the sinks. The kitchen issue was sorted my meal was almost cold and 3 were over cooked. We were rushed with dessert as the kitchen staff wanted to be away. All in all very disappointing. The family made the most of it but will be in no rush to return.

In nead of a porter to help with heavy bags.
A little to old fashioned and a very long walk to our room,especially with a heavy suit case,over all it was very clean,As we were only there for one night we just we were able to put a few things in a bag to bring up.other than that we would not have been able to stay I think that should be on the web site.Di Foulger.

Grand Tour of Moors
The hotel was friendly, good staff, good food, good beer. The room was a little quirky but fine. I would stay there again. Only comment is no radiator in the bathroom which may be an issue in the winter.

I had a great stay here and would definitely stay again. Room and facilities were fine, food and drink great too and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Some handwash in the bathroom would have been useful though as only shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were provided. But that's a really minor issue and didn't affect my overall experience.

Fabulous break
Lovely stay in the cottage at the kings arms. The cottage was ideal for our stay for a couple and small dog. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely. I would definitely recommend and we will be returning. Location was ideal for visiting North Yorkshire. Thanks for a lovely stay. Caroline

Great stay
Great staff and food. As this is an old building you should expect some noise from street as single glazed, personally I always take ear plugs and eye mask with me (due to snoring partner). Personally I love quirky old building with uneven floors. Could benefit from either blackout blinds or curtains. Service was excellent.

Family break.
Good value for money, quite a large space in the cottage. Could have been cleaner generally a tad tired, paintwork etc. The outside area needs maintenance. The service was ok and breakfast was good. Not a great deal to see/do in the village. Kettle exchanged due to limescale and strangley our room was entered, bin emptied but left on the drainer?? still confused as beds not made etc. Maybe an oversight. Ok and good value but not wow.
