Loved by The King'S Arms Hotel guests
"We have stayed in hotels that say they are dog friendly, but our dogs were treated as guests, not just tolerated."
"The bathroom had a large walk in shower and plenty of space for all your toiletries etc and the bathtub was made into a feature space within the bedroom."
"The location is great to explore the local area and the free parking at the rear of the hotel was excellent -we would return again and would highly recommend to friends"
