My normal hotel haunts are the 5 star luxurious but impersonal variety, so it was with trepidation that having found none in the area of Sherborne Abbey I booked the Kings Arms. I was travelling with a regular travel companion to a wedding in the Abbey and we arent easily pleased - but both had a wonderful time and would... More

I stayed at the Kings Arms recently for two nights and would highly recommend it to anyone. The rooms are beautiful, the food fantastic and staff were very attentive and helpful. We stayed in Onyx (room 6) which was lovely. As we had several friends staying at the hotel as well we saw most of the rooms and they were... More

We are so well blessed with fantastic pubs in this area of the country and the Kings Arms is no exception. We live in a little village quite near the pub and I looked at the property for an investor client when it was closed and boarded up 3-4 years ago, I think. He wouldn't touch it as it was... More

Stayed 2 nights in this lovely place, food was amazing and we even had 2 deserts each. Rooms are cosy, showers are nice and beds are comfy. Would definitely return for both the food and accommodation.

We stayed one night here over Easter travelling down from Manchester to meet my sons soon to be in laws, who are local and live just up the road, it was their recommendation and we were not disappointed! We all had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious, the service was efficient, friendly and polite and the wine... More

Whilst staying locally we wandered out taking in the beautiful fresh Dorset air, and alighted upon this oasis of charm in the quaint village of Charlton Horethorne. It is obvious that a good deal of money and thought has gone into the restoration of this hostelry, and it has been handled with sensitivity and style. The magnificent Australian marble bar,... More

We had a lovely stay at this hotel which was completly rebuilt in 2009 to a very traditional style. The rooms are nice with a wetroom area to the bathroom which includes a rain shower. The rooms at the rear of the hotel can be a bit noisy as smokers tend to stand under the porch/canopy in front of the... More

Lacking in character, crammed full of naff art and over priced rooms, really disliked this place and felt very ripped off when I departed. The atmosphere is unwelcoming and the restaurant serves extremely small portions of food. The rooms stink of smoke from the garden and you are kindly kept up all night with the drunk locals bellowing below your... More

Fantastic hotel very friendly staff, beautiful room. Food very good have just booked for another weekend. Would definitely recommend to others.
