Kings Arms Inn

Friendly staff , nice bar , warm room what more do you need ! 10 mins to Exeter central

This is a lovely homely village pub, NOT a swanky Country Life establishment. Being a very old building everything is a bit wonky - that is the character. But the room was very warm, the bed was comfortable, the plumbing honked like a steamship but the shower was hot, and everything really was spotlessly clean. The friendly staff could not have been kinder. The chef was off so there was no breakfast but this was explained to me with such good humour I immediately didn't mind. I will certainly stay there again.

Room was really clean, save for a few cobwebs (the light shade was really cobwebby for some reason). The only negatives were a skirting board thing at the base of the shower had come off and my towel had holes worn through, but those didn't bother me enough to complain. The bed was super comfy. Amazing quality for the price! I had supper in the pub that was very tasty and reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. You can hear a lot from the pub downstairs and it was loud until fairly late but it's a pub so what do you expect!

It was ok to stay for a few days while visiting family . Breakfast was nice , although one day all i was offered was cooked and the next it was cereal , yogurt and cooked . Asked what time food was served til and was told 9pm saturday but when i asked to order food at 8.30pm was told the kitchen was closed . Bed was hard . Water from tap cold

Business stay working in area had a room above the bar very noisy all the way till closing it's the only pub for miles so it is what it is

Rooms are pretty rustic but perfectly comfortable. Can't fault the value for money. 15-20mins drive in to Exeter. Will definitely use again.

After a long day in the rain photographing, the Kings arms was a welcome rest stop for the evening before I headed back to another day of event photography. I was shown my room and then i headed downstairs to sit by the fire and enjoy a curry. The noise of the pub was actually fun to hear from my room as pubs are sadly closing all over the country and to visit a real characteristic old one like the Kings arms which was full of laughter is quite a treat. Lovely friendly welcome, comfy beds and hot water for the bath! all lovely xxthankyou xx

A lovely proper old English pub with good service and good food. I'll definitely be back

It was a shame. The actual rooms, service and cleanliness was good. However there were two things that spoilt it for us. We were there on a Saturday night and while I don't mind a bit of background pub noise (been to plenty of inns on a Saturday night before), the disco was that loud that I really think those rooms above should be shut. The drums & bass was so loud I couldn't even watch the TV! Fortunately it stopped by about 11.30pm so at least it wasn't an all-nighter! The other thing that counted against was that breakfast wasn't until 9am earliest. As we had to away by 9.15am, it meant we didn't get the breakfast we paid for and had to pay elsewhere for it. I would have thought 8am breakfast should be a minimum. Perhaps I missed the memo. However, like I said, rooms were good and clean. Next time will bring my ear plugs!!
