Excellent location in the very centre of town. Property has been refurbished to a very high standard. Every member of staff friendly and very helpful. We were staying with our two dogs and there was two comfortable dog beds and bowls in the room. They even provided ear plugs since with the property being so central it could have been a bit noisy at night. Breakfast was very very good, top quality.

Damion United Kingdom

The location was very central and easy to reach all the shops.We were here for a wedding so not climbing,Of course it's very old and had been renovated very well even though the floors still had a slight slope which added to its character

Valerie Germany

The King’s Arms Hotel was modern and the bedroom was gorgeous. We stayed in room 4 and it was spacious, had nice toiletries and the best was super comfy. The bedding had a very luxurious feel too. The staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating. The hotel is right in the middle of the town centre, which is ideal. There was noise early hours due to setting the market up but this was expected due to location and the hotel provides ear buds. The breakfast was also amazing, plenty of choice (both continental and cooked). We will definitely be back!
