Having seen previous reviews, was not sure what to expect. However, welcome was friendly and the rooms clean - you can see that the rooms are in need of some refurbishment but this is evidently underway as the bathroom had recently been completed. The food was very good pub fare, and being Wadworth's establishment the beer was great too. Being... More

Disaster. we arrived after a long drive, excited and ready for our break, only to be left hanging around without an explanation as to why we were unable to check in. We eventually discovered that they had double booked us and they could not accommodate us. They did try and find us a room elsewhere and did pay the difference... More

While the staff are very friendly this place shouldn't be running as a hotel, it's much more like a hostel and a bad one at that! It's a lovely old pub and they should stick to that. The rooms are in very bad need of renovation so if you can choose an alternative do, don't waste your money here :-(

We arrived at the Kings Arms Hotel on Saturday 04 May having previously booked two rooms. We were greeted by a young man, who, with a deadpan expression, told us "I dont have your booking and I have no rooms". It was like a Fawlty Tower farce, we stood dumbfounded, expecting this to be an in house joke. Clearly not,... More

We stayed here as an overnight stop, the place is located in a lovely village, close to Longleat, Bath, Stonehenge etc. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Unfortunately the room was, though clean, was a little shabby. Walls in desperate need of fresh paint and bathroom needs a new sink. With a little TLC this... More

The pub itself is nice; tastefully decorated with a good atmosphere, and the food being served to the rest of our party when we arrived last Saturday afternoon looked, and by all accounts tasted, good. The bedrooms however are terrible; unclean, smelling of smoke, peeling paint, mouldy grouting in the bathrooms etc etc. They looked like they hadn't been decorated... More

Glad we were only staying one night. Floor was not hoovered, there were holes in the wall, bin was not emptied. Cup and tea facilities were dirty. Breakfast was good and pub is great but would not stay here again
