Not the prettiest place but very functional. Yes a bit outdated however everything in the room is clean and comfortable. Service and food in the restaurant at dinner was good. Hopefully breakfast is good too. Hotel overall is good value for money. Would use again. Good to support a family run business.

Hotel a little outdated in decor but bed was comfy and there's plenty of space in the rooms. Breakfast ok, but would have liked a little more choice in hot drinks as only filter coffee, no latte or cappuccino.

When you arrive you need to drive through an old disused carpark which is fenced off.
I would recommend this hotel and i would stay again.

This was our second stay at the King Charles and again it exceeded expectations, from the comfortable room to the excellent breakfast, friendly staff and ambience.
The bar food was particularly tasty and reasonably priced, so we are looking forward to visiting again very soon!
