    Not applicable, we will definitely be back.

    Completely dog friendly, yet very clean. Our Westie was welcome everywhere on site. Lots of local walks nearby. Food and bar service was very good, despite all being very busy over a bank holiday weekend. The Otterton Mill across the road is well worth a visit if you like good coffee.

    Windows in the bedrooms were draughty due to excessively windy weather and in my comfy double they rattled disturbing my sleep.

    Very friendly atmosphere, staff very good, well able to relax with no pressure. Meals were very good and served within flexible times which meant no rush. Good free parking, lovelybwalking from Kings Arms.

    lovely stay in nicely decorated village pub

    • Deluxe Double Room with Shower
    • Stayed 2 nights

    very comfortable nicely decorated room, including a four poster bed. The staff were great, very pleasant and full of local knowledge. We had continental breakfast there and it was nice to have fresh fruit available too, we also had an evening meal which was good and reasonably priced. Lovely Otterton Mill just a few minutes walk away and then walks along the river from there, plus a community shop across the road.

    Hotel good, restaurant bad.

    Admittedly we were there after the restaurant had done 200? covers for Mothering Sunday. But half of the evening menu was crossed out and the 2 items we ordered were found, after a delay, not available. Web had high hopes for the next night but were again dissappointed. where was all the fish from their loudly proclaimed 'own fishing fleet'. And beef from thier own farm, only sirloin steak.

    The hotel aspect of the pub was excellent value for money It was cheap but had received a full upgrade incl walk-in rain shower.

    Could do with soft close on doors to rooms and also hall way doors as there is a lot of slamming of doors of a night when trying to sleep, could do with a bigger choice on the evening menu

    Location was good to get to local towns, beaches and local attractions, lovely country pub that is dog friendly and food was good and staff was friendly, rooms were pleasant and comfortable

    An outstandingly friendly village pub/hotel with good food and beers
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The on suit shower had been recently refurbished but the contractors hadn`t finished some of the detailing.

    During my stay I had a major family problem which meant I had to cancel dinner after ordering it and cut my stay short. The management were so supportive, cheerfully refunded the outstanding balance and even produce with sympathy card. The Kings Arms may not be the poshest hotel in which I have stayed but they have left an impression of outstanding friendliness

    During our evening meal after our order had been taken we seemed to have been forgotten. Our order of drinks hadn’t been noted. We waited ages before asking where they were. My sirloin steak was shocking. Over salted and chewy. I would have complained if someone had asked me how my meal was but the staff were not attentive. Our plate’s were left in front of us for a long time until we got up once again to order sweets. When we were seated we were told it was table service. It was not. We ordered sweets because I was hungry as I’d left all my dinner which cost me around £28. The whole dinner experience was disappointing and cost us just over £78.

    Breakfast was fine and location great.

    Size of room and bathroom.

    Room was very clean and comfortable, although a little small in space with the bathroom particularly small and difficult to manoeuvre. Well appointed with tea/coffee, good size cups and clean kettle, and fresh water with glasses. Relatively quiet for a pub, no noise from the bar area allowed a good nights sleep.
