The Kings Arms

A lovely hotel nestled under the Dorset Ridgeway path and only a 40 minute walk from the coastal path. Pretty setting, with lovely garden and good restaurant. We had breakfast next door at the farmshop which is a linked business and offers a 20% discount to the hotel residents.

The breakfast was superb in the little deli next door.

Have stayed before, happy to stay again. Very friendly staff.

Food excellent staff friendly. Nerby farm shop well stocked

Yes parking and staff were ok food was poor i saw multiple customers complaining about the food. Property condition very very tired windows were boarded up up stairs, not being able to have breakfast until 9:00a.m is an issue so for those reasons i wont be staying again, shame cos its a great location for visiting customers in Portland

Friendly staff make such a difference. They were amazing. We had a cosy afternoon/evening relaxing by the open fire, enjoying a few drinks and nibbles. The room was was great. Although the door was a little hard to open and close. Will definitely stay there again

Lovely location, friendly staff and a fantastic room that doesnt feel like a hotel. It was nice and comfy and the bed was good. Nice shower, very clean place. Only issue for me what that the big cupboard near my head seems to hold a boiler or water tank, at 4am it sounded like someone had turned on a shower next to me, and that was on and off for the next 2.5hrs. Some people probably could slee through it but im a light sleeper so it proved a problem for me. I dont want that to detract from what is a lovely place, but its worth mentioning as it did rather change the quality of my stay and maybe people havent mentioned it before.

The restaurant was excellent as were the ales and wine list. Good location for the South West Coast Path and bus service stops right outside. Breakfast supplied by the nearby Farm Shop was delicious.

We spent four nights at the Kings Arms on a recent trip to visit family. We’ve stayed there previously but, unfortunately, the rooms are looking a little shabby. First off, there was no wifi in the room; the repeater didn’t work. The rooms need a re-fresh: We stayed in the Jurassic suite and the mattresses and pillows were from that era. Also, the room needed a deep clean; the upholstery was badly stained. Despite all this, it’s a lovely place to stay. The cleaning staff were pleasant and helpful. The adjoining pub and breakfasts were great. The place has character but needs some TLC.

Friendly staff

Peaceful stay

Perfect location, friendly welcoming staff. Busy pub location, however very quiet after closing. Lovely wildlife sounds overnight. Breakfast short walk next door to farm shop. Very good.

The room was perfect for what we wanted the staff were very friendly and helpful, we had a really nice time listening to the band outside, would love to have stayed another night

Lovely room but had to close the curtains for privacy when sunny as on ground floor. Shame

In the right area to where we wanted to visit beautiful area a lot to visit and see along the coast where we stopped we were happy and had a great time sorry to leave thanks

The pub, room and village were lovely however the floor in the room wasn’t clean and the lady behind the bar was clearly having a bad day as her attitude towards her customers sucked.

The room was clean and spacious. The bed was large and comfortable. The pillows could be better (quite flat). The bathroom was adequate. We loved how quiet/silent it was in the room. We really enjoyed having food and drinks at the pub. The breakfast at the local farmshop was ok (they were out of some options both days). Easy/quick drive to Weymouth.

Room was good, nice furnishings and comfy bed. Lovely breakfast at Duck cafe. No sign of clock radio as described or Cowshed toiletries - they were generic. Bathroom was in need of a good scrub and the curtains dragged on the floor so the bottom 30cm were filthy. However good location& friendly staff We did choose the hottest day to stay so the room was quite hot !

Die Unterkunft zu bewerten ist leider etwas schwierig, weil das Zimmer war eigentlich wirklich toll, aber es gibt ein ganz großes aber wir hatten einen Boiler im Zimmer, der bei jedem waschgang angegangen ist, auch aus den anderen beiden Zimmer, dass war wirklich schrecklich, es war so laut plötzlich, das hat das schöne einfach kaputt gemacht. Dieses Zimmer kann man so eigentlich nicht vermieten, weil das ein untragbarer Zustand war.

Pretty standard pub type accommodation. Room comfortable, bathroom very small. Property badly needs money spending on its external fabric which spoils the whole appearance of the place
