We stayed at the Kings Arms over the late May bank holiday. We were attending a wedding in Parley Manor and due to my disorganised nature, I booked the accommodation about a week before the wedding. There was only one room left and it was one of the attic rooms. I was fine with this as the hotel looked stunning and it was where we wanted to be. From the moment we arrived (a few hours before check in time) the staff were second to none. Our room was ready so we were allowed to go straight up. Yes the room was small but it was perfectly formed. It was very quirky which we loved. The room and the bathroom were very clean and tastefully done. There was a lovely selection of teas (and biscuits) in the room. My only suggestion would be for the mirror to moved. It’s currently inside the wardrobe on the door. It wasn’t practical for a number of reasons, firstly the door didn’t stay fully open, it was dark in that part of the room and due to the size of the room, it blocked off half of the room. Generally I wouldn’t spend much time looking in the mirror but I was getting ready for a wedding. Ideally there needs to be another socket located near the main wall as it was difficult to iron our wedding clothes as the socket was inside the wardrobe so there wasn’t much room to manoeuvre the board into position. On the Saturday night we went out for dinner as we’d arranged to meet friends but once we got back, we headed to the bar. There was a lovely atmosphere in there and we loved sitting at the bar for a laid back drink. The cocktails were delicious and again the staff were super friendly and attentive. We were due to check out on the Monday but loved it so much that we wanted to stay for one more night. On check out we spoke to the front desk and though our room had been booked, we were offered another room for a really good price. The room turned out to be an enormous and stunning Queen room. We couldn’t believe how beautiful it was when we went into it. That evening we ate at the hotel restaurant. The food was delicious, I had the cheese soufflé to start (the best I’ve had) and the fish and chips for my main, again it was fantastic. There was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and we had a lovely view of the beautiful green across the road. The breakfast offering was vast and delicious. There is a choice of continental or freshly cooked which set us up nicely for the day of the wedding. The hotel is a very popular location for Weddings, and weddings took place everyday we were there. It was so lovely to see the brides come down from their suites all dressed up and looking gorgeous as they headed over to the pavilion on the green to get married. We didn’t get to see the neighbouring building where the reception takes place but we were told it’s stunning! This is hands down the nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed in, from the decor, location and the staff it was perfect in every way. On a final note, wherever in the world I travel, I always bring my
