The King's Arms

The hotel offers a memorable experience by masterfully blending its historic charm as a Grade 1 Listed coaching inn, with strong links to Thomas Hardy, and a high standard of modern refurbishment. This unique combination creates a stylish and comfortable atmosphere, making it a signature feature. Guests consistently highlight the exceptional staff friendliness and attentiveness, the excellent food served in both the restaurant and bar, the comfortable and clean rooms, and the highly convenient free parking. The hotel is an ideal fit for sightseers and couples seeking a charming getaway, business travelers needing comfort and good amenities, and especially dog owners due to its very welcoming pet policy. For a more peaceful stay, consider requesting a room away from the main street to minimize potential noise, and note that the bar may close earlier than expected on some evenings.
