Great place for a break

Lovely, bright and well presented, great staff always helpful. Location perfect close to bus routes, high street but far enough from Bournemouth not to suffer from crowded roads and so many people. Food excellent Very comfortable bed No street noise

Fabulous Find

Our stay was incredible, made even more fabulous by Briony, Rahul and Spencer, who all showed a friendly and professional approach. Our room, room 101, was fantastic!! Large, freshly decorated and homely. Our bed was huge and the bedding gorgeous, although a larger duvet would be a good addition. The bathroom was clean, large and well lit. We loved our stay and will definitely to The King's Arms.

Everything 5* thank you so much!

FANTASTIC HOTEL. The location, the service, the bar and restaurant were all truly 5 star. Woke up this morning after truly good sleep in massive room overlooking the priory and ruins. The reception staff was simply wonderful, just little things like letting us have a coffee and a croissant when we came in to drop suitcases off before check in time. Little drink tokens on the house, to be enjoyed in a truly gorgeous bar & restaurant. We loved everything and will be back 😊

Great stay in Christchurch

Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at the Kings Arms. Fantastic location, right in town centre. Free parking, a big bonus. Friendly staff, welcome drink, fantastic room, air conditioned, comfy bed, lovely bathroom. Will definitely return. Thoroughly recommend.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had an amazing trip & this hotel was part of it. I found the staff to be exceptional & very helpful. I loved having the restaurant right in the hotel. My room overlooked the ruins & the Priory & had air conditioning & a walk in shower which were priorities for me. It was a quick walk to the high street for shopping, bank, other food options & a quick walk to the ferries on the river. I would absolutely stay here again.
Outdoor view. Bus stops right out front.
Cozy/snug room on the 3rd floor. Lift was just outside the door.
Good closet space with iron/board, mini fridge, & tea kettle.

The whole experience was outstanding, not only the expected level of the accomodation and service, but the willingness to help our visit as good as possible, like recomendations of places to visit, where to dine and a host of instances in the small detail that adds to the experence THANKS
