Kings Arms Hotel

On a visit to the Lake District And getting hungry my friend and I stopped at the Kings Arms . We were welcomed by the owner and on ordering drinks were able to warm ourselves by the log burner. It was cosy and homely. We were shown through to the dining room and our food arrived and what a banquet. I had three courses and the roast beef just melted in your mouth. I chose the soup for starter and the pecan pie for dessert. The price was excellent. When the area , go there to eat you won’t be disappointed . Jean Martyn BGT finalist 2011

this was intended as a getaway from it all for 1 night for me and my wife. it turned into the worst stay ever, we booked it online on their w/site £ 70 including breakfast .entering the bar and spoke to the l/lord ,he said he had no idea about our reservation as "the internet was down , there would be no breakfast as it was not a day we do breakfast " he showed us to our room (annex at rear) and disappeared back to the bar. the room was freezing cold (rad was turned off so i turned the valve open full, the on suite was the same , the vanity mirror light was broken (apart from a flicker) so shaving was guesswork, the shower faucet was loose and the shower head kept sliding down , the water temp kept fluctuating wildly to the point of scalding hot/cold. .the decor was tired and the carpet was dirty. who ever built it mustn't have had a spirit level because the floor sloped badly down towards the bed head. needless to say we wont be going back.

My wife and I had an evening meal on our two day trip to this lovely Cumbrian village.. Excellent service at the bar and restaurant, excellent food and top class “Wainwright’s Gold” real ale. Two mains for £15....unbeatable value. What a wonderful place to find and enjoy.

We booked most of the pub out for our wedding guests two 2 weeks ago - some relatives stayed 3-4 days, including one elderly relative with very limited mobility who stayed in the disabled-access room. Everything was brilliant from start to finish, the rooms were great, breakfast was great, lots of people had lunch or evening meals and found the food to be excellent. Room service for my elderly relative was no problem at all. The team there could not have done more to look after people, it really was great and we are so appreciative to Sharon, the manager, and all her staff

We visited the Kings Arms this week with our elderly mum and I have to say what a warm welcome we received. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. We will definitely be back soon. Many thanks

Stayed en route from Scotland. Good parking, nice food, warm welcome from both staff on duty but ... Found room cold Fly poo on duvet cover Main door rotten with etched frosted glass panel that looks into room from car park. Bed on castors that zoomed across the floor when attempting to get into it. Several stains on walls, with, scuffs etc. Could be so much better with a little TLC. At £117 per night overpriced. Interconnected door made room very noisy could hear ever word of a couple's very private conversation.

Lovely village, and the Kings Arms is a lovely stone building in a picturesque village, stayed 2 nights in Sept so we could do the WCR steam train experience. Food great (good home cooked food) staff superb. In fact Ian went over and above and is an absolute credit to the establishment. A definite recommendation if your visiting the area.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from a pub with rooms, so was very pleasantly surprised at what a great wee pub and lovely rooms this turned out to be. Got a room in the attached building to the pub, all very nice and modern. Staff in pub all very friendly and helpful, especially the manager. Ate our dinner and breakfast in the bar, both were excellent and being vegetarian was amazed at the selection of breakfast options for both vegetarian and vegan. Would definitely come back next time we are down this way.

We enjoyed our stay here - this is then ONLY pub in the the village - ( there used to be 4 ) - so they have a captive customer base - and its such a nice place that screams out so loud !!!! - this is good but OMG its so much needing to be better !!! On entrance - great car park - then you enter - a shabby side doorway - dirty carpets and walls - and then into the bar - its all a bit well - shabby - and the staff are lovely but - a bit well - slow - and not very good the room we stayed in - all good - but carpet was a bit dirty - and bathroom had black mould - and its in need of a good deep clean - and the bar staff didn't empty tables at all !! its all a bit - well - cant really be bothered However - the food - its fantastic !!! the beds - clean and very cosy ! ! the location - great- The website is full of wrong information The Pub needs a serious re-think - and makeover - Its a great pub - but seriously needs better managers
