“The Kings Arms Hotel in Sandwich offers a glimpse into history, dating back to 1580, and the staff clearly aims to please, even moving luggage to accommodate guests' changing room needs; plus, the pet-friendly policy extends a warm welcome to furry companions. While the setting has potential, I think the kitchen could elevate the dining experience to match the rest of the hotel's charm. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking character.”

A good pub stay

helpful staff free parking historic building

The staff displayed great understanding and were always helpful, especially with directions. I easily found free parking NEARBY. The historic building from the 15th century added real character and was lovely to experience.

The shower was quite small, and I noticed some mould present on the walls, unfortunately.
