Lovely place for a mini break
We had a mini break at the Kings Arms to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked it on Hotels.com and got a 10% discount with my Vectis Card which was a bonus. The accommodation at the Kings Arms was excellent - lovely room, with all the usual fittings and accessories. We were pleased to find a fan was supplied as well as it was a very hot night. Evening meal was delicious - I had pheasant and my wife had catch of the day . We didn't book a breakfast, but I'm sure that would have been delicious too. Staff very friendly . Altogether a really good experience.

The suite we had was comfortable and well equipped. The bed was high off the ground which made it difficult for a short person to get in and the sofa was so low that it provided a bit of a challenge to get off it. However, that was all part of the charm of the King's Arms.

A very quiet location
Historic building in beautiful small village. Room had all expected facilities and good quality with a very nice en suite. Comfortable bed but sofa a bit low for us older people! Because we booked for a Monday night there were no bar nor restaurant open - we were warned beforehand - and we saw no one during our overnight stay. Instructions gave us phone access to someone based on site and an off site manager

Great accommodation with excellent restaurant..
We spent three nights and had meals two nights in the restaurant. The food was excellent with an interesting menu which included a variety of local game. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and could not be faulted.

A hidden gem. I am away from home working and have been all around the country for the last 10 months. This really put a smile on my face. Staying in a traditional style cottage I really felt relaxed. I am returning this week

Peaceful rural retreat in Leicestershire
Lovely stay in Rural Leicestershire at the Kings Arms. Arrived in the evening and the welcome was warm and friendly. Hadn’t booked for supper but I was found a table. Menu was very rural and the flavours of the meal were excellent. Great service throughout. The accommodation was a little small but comfortable and for the rate, very good. Very clean throughout and well enough appointed. My only complaint was that being an old coaching house, the bedroom doors were quite tight and sticky to close, so was woken when the people in the room next to mine left at 5.00am. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Just superb
A wonderful place to stay. Picturesque, beautifilly kept, service exemplary with friendly staff and clientel. Food qas absolutely superb- dinner amd breakfast cooked to perfection. An awesome location for photographing Rutland Water. My only negative was that the sign outside the bar stated 5pm for opening but opened at 6 but well worth waiting and a minor inconvenience in light of everything else. Booked through Hotels.com and found thus for the price of some Travelodges!

Fantastic stay. Lovely location, friendly staff and comfortable accommodation. Loved this place. Its like a village within a village. We ate breakfast and dinner here. Both were great and used locally sourced ingredients. We will definitely stay here again.

A small trip down memory Lane
When I booked the Kings Head l had asked for a single room as I didn’t need a twin / double room so quite happy with a single. Pleasantly surprised to find that I had been upgraded to a double room, in fact the same room on the first trip with my late wife 7/8 years ago. Only thing different about this trip was of course the Covid rules and restrictions so I sadly was only able once to partake in an evening meal and breakfast. The food was up to the fine standard I had on my first visit and the excellent breakfast set me up for the day. I’m already looking to arrange another visit this year.

Closed but took bookings
Absolutely fuming, myself along with other guests calling the number on the door and no answer. Advertising as open with meals, bar and breakfast while closed. Pandemic or not wholly unacceptable.
