Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Overall great experience with only a few little things letting it down; The bed was two singles pushed together so not great when there different heights and your 6ft2 and 18stn, the extractor unit in the bathrooms sounding like a Boeing 747 is arriving and sadly the "thing" I can only describe as that as I'm unsure what it was snoring for one night (could here every breath) HOWEVER the good outway the bad by an absolute mile, the staff are fabulous and the young lady who was on each night behind the bar was so welcoming and friendly (even when I locked myself out my room) The bed although 2 singles was as a single extremely comfortable and clean with soooo many pillows to pick from 🥰🥰 The food was lush, with the lady behind the bar making recommendations on my final night she was bang on the money with the cheesecake and the katsu chicken burger 🤤🤤 ate here all 3 nights no reason to go anywhere else. The highlight as random as this is was the........ BATH. OMGOSSSSHHH the most amazing bath I've ever come across in a hotel so deep and long and wide and just.. I want the exact same for home. Even at 6ft+ I soaked there for hours and I'm not one for having a bath in a hotel. ALSO FREE WI-FI Definitely would stay again even if it was just for the bath and cheesecake 😁

Stayed for 1 night in November with my husband. We arrived early and although our room wasn’t ready we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel and it was taken to our room for when we checked in later. The hotel is clean and staff friendly. We had a hot breakfast at the hotel which was cooked to perfection. Although the location is fairly rural Thirsk is close, (around a 10 minute drive) Overall a lovely little hotel

Excellent service and great room. Stayed for one night didn’t arrive until late which was facilitated by staff. Breakfast was fantastic couldn’t of asked for a better stay. Plenty of room for parking and the pub looked excellent, didn’t get to enjoy a beer due to previous mentioned late arrival.

I've just returned from a five-night stay at this wonderful pub. The room was clean and comfortable; the staff were welcoming and friendly (just like the customers). The food was well prepared using fresh ingredients. I cannot wait to stay at the Kings Arms again, and I hope it will be soon.

I stayed here one Saturday night after a few days travelling. I was looking for something a bit different from the usual (but normally ok) Premier Inns that I often use. This pub is just a few miles away from the A1M. In advance I requested a room with a bath and was really happy with the room allocated. A nice pub atmosphere; a couple of pints of real ale; a good meal; a good nights sleep after a soak in a great deep bath and a lovely breakfast. Nice place. Pleasant staff. Great place to stay.

This is our 2nd visit to this lovely pub where we stayed for 2 nights and ate in the pub restaurant both nights. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is amazing, as is the cooked breakfast and everybody at the pub is very warm and welcoming. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

Two nights spent at this wonderful Inn. The room was warm and comfortable. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was very, very good. Really full of flavour and lots of it, with a good selection of different cuisines on the menu. We would certainly stay again.

We went after a recommendation from a friend. Overall disappointing. Starters ok. Mains lacked flavour. Prawn burrito not spicy at all. Burger sandwiched between two slices of GF bread without any salad or relish, just poor especially as ordered in advance. I had the Fishcake which was delicious. Microwaved puddings we’re poor. Christmas pudding was inedible a highly spiced chocolatey version??? We won’t return which is a shame as the pub is very nicely set out and has a lot of promise but didn’t deliver at all.
