The Kings Arms

Excellent pub food and very welcoming staff.The room was quite comfortable once we got it warmed up but some attention should be given to the doors so that they open and close more easily and perhaps add some lighting on the stairs. These are small in the overall scheme of things though. The breakfast at the nearby farm shop was outstanding.

It was a peaceful setting (out of season). The parking was handy and the breakfast superb!

Lovely room, way too hot though, had to tuen off the towel radiator & open the windows. Nice evening meal, service was a bit slow as there were two large tables & I was on my own

On arrival not overly welcome reception (in bar). Room window open hence room damp and cold had to ask for extra heater to get rid of dampness, also asked for blanket for bed as duvet considered inadequate due to conditions, we were questioned why we wanted blanket, they reluctantly provided a single duvet as no blankets available. Biggest gripe was that breakfast is served remote location, cafe round the corner (250 yards approx) in the rain not pleasant experience. food was ok but not as you would expect for hotel breakfast. first morning room servicing bed not made. Location of rooms (not attached to hotel) walk to rooms through section of garden dark under trees rustic steps unlit and dangerous also unlit path to car park there are lights in place but just not switched on. It appears that the hotel is only manned during pub opening hours so if you have any queeries you have wait for pub to open, then they are bar staff who are not sure about hotel problems. Overall a disappointing stay. Hotel is definitely not worthy of the 4 star rating as advertised decor is dated it may have been ok when it was updated in 2014 but that was 10 years ago, i dont think anything has been done since. Once again biggest gripe REMOTE BREAKFAST this is not mention on the web sites we would not have booked if we had known.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meals were very good. Breakfast at nearby cafe (included in price) also good. The problems were with the Jurassic room we stayed in. The heating didn't work so they gave us a portable heater. The guest wi-fi signal didn't reach the room; even in the main building my laptop kept dropping out because of security issues. The glass shower door was very difficult to open, with no guidance to assist.

First and foremost, the staff on duty were particularly helpful and friendly. The access to the bedroom was a disaster. The handrail to the steps was partly rotten, leaning at an angle and did not extend to the top step. The concrete steps were uneven, broken in places and irregular. Neither the steps or pathway was lit. My wife fell on the steps and injured her arm quite badly on the rotten hand rail. (Accident entered into site accident book). The room was "musty". Black mould in shower, toilet roll holder missing. The toilet seat had been replaced with a seat that was smaller than the pan. Lights were not working in bathroom. (Some lights replaced when we raised it as an issue. The shower light was not replaced while we were there). The bedroom cupboard was locked but had a pump of some sort located within it that was noisy at unexpected moments In the eating area of the pub our table was adjacent to an open storm water drain which had water running continually while we were eating. Breakfast is NOT served in the pub but at a deli located about 150 metres from the pub. Not just next door as we were told. (Across the garden, a public carpark, along a side road and then further along a main road. Particularly an issue when weather is wet and windy as when we stayed. The breakfast facilities were not made clear until after we booked. (The breakfast was very nice).

Easy access to many of Dorset South Coast highlights Room for as very nice, very quiet, but a little dated. Only thing I would say is if you are counting on wifi to do a lot of work it was a bit spotty in our room. Other than that an excellent location with good food, good atmosphere and great staff.

Beautiful pub and very clean accommodation

Lovely staff and lovely place

Everything perfevt

Everything was great, the room, the food and the pub. The staff were friendly, polite and friendly. The only problem was the breakfast didn’t start until 8am which is a little late for a business traveller but amazing cooked to order breakfast. Will definitely come back.

Good beer garden, pleasant surroundings, helpful friendly staff, excellent breakfast.

Room slightly tired but a good size and a comfortable bed. Good restaurant quality evening meals and good breakfast in their companion Farm Shop situated a few yards walk from the Kings Arms. Would be happy to stay there again.

A picturesque Dorset pub with very comfortable rooms. I had dinner at the pub which was great, plus included breakfast at cafe round the corner which was also delicious. I hope to be back again soon

Nice big clean room but there was no light in the shower and no instructions of how the shower worked, tried for about 15 minutes but gave up in the end. Had an exceptionally nice meal in the evening and a good nights sleep. Although pre warned there was no breakfast at the pub and we had to go to a café and farm shop around the corner which wasn't brilliant as we couldn't take the dog inside the café so we had to sit outside, it was bloody cold but thankfully not raining. Everything got cold very quickly and we were made to feel to be an inconvenience and told to wait foe more tea as they were others ahead of us, sorry but we were there before the workmen in their dirty overalls being allowed in. From the car park to the room there were several trees with birds flying around and an unacceptable amount of bird poo on the path. I know its not something they could totally control but a bucket of soapy water and a yard brush every few days would make a huge difference. Had to carry our cases and little dog so they wouldn't get contaminated. A real pity as the room was lovely as was the food and the staff were nice and friendly. Do your own breakfast please.

We were met by a very helpful young man who handed us the room key and carried my wife's bag for her. That was the last we saw of any staff apart from bar staff. The linen and toilet were clean but the room was dirty. Cobwebs from the ceiling, dirty lampshade, a chair I would not sit on, dirty carpet and mould around the bottom of the ensuite and shower. All photographed in case of dispute.

Pub and staff faultless, room carpet badly stained with i don't know what. There was a hole i the bathroom floor and the shower head just sprayed everywhere.

The room smelt damp,curtains mouldy and falling off rail,seems to have been reported in may and nothing changed,could have done with a freshen up before we arrived,comfortable bed,good shower,just needed some extra care and attention,mattress protector stained,

We arrived Sunday, no one went in to refresh till Thursday. We left friday morning. Issues with loling and unlocking door. Shower head needed cleaning. We reported but nothing done. Bed very comfy. Tea and coffee in room. Just lacked attention to detail

Kings arms is a lovely place rooms where big and clean internet tv was no good at all Food was ok but expensive and a long wait Easy to get into Weymouth which is what we wanted. Breakfast was in a cafe around the corner so not on site but it was lovely
