The Kings Arms Inn — Restaurant in England

When we arrived, we were greeted by the very friendly landlord... later we found out a bit TOO friendly! We were taken up to our room, along a very dirty, cluttered hallway. the room had a mismatch of furniture thrown in. the tv had been put on a stool, not plugged in, no remote. we were told he would sort it later but he never did, so no TV! no door handle for the bathroom and loads of electrical extentions everywhere! The shower went hot and cold throughout! Had our tea, and must admit the food was excellent, lovely and just what you need after a long walk, although they did try and charge us again when we paid our bill the next morning. All was lovely until all the other walkers left, which left about 5 locals and the landlord. they proceeded to play spin the bottle, with the landlord, minus his wife!!! It felt like we were in the middle of a weird party, especially when they asked us to join them!!! needless to say we went upstairs pretty sharpish and couldn't wait to leave! I would never ever stay here again, which was such a shame as we couldn't fault anything up...

The Kings Arms at Bowness-on Solway marks either the beginning or the end of Hadrian's Wall Trail for very many trail warriors. Either way, the hostelry is geared for hearty appetites and creature comforts. For my party this marked the start of the trail and without wishing to diss any of the terrific catering along the way, breakfast proved to be the outstanding offering of the entire trip, edged by the superlative Cumberland sausages.

While rooms at the Kings Arms are quickly taken, the owners work closely with others in the village to facilitate board, and we are grateful for the terrific care afforded us in advance of our first leg...

We ate here twice during our stay in a holiday Cottage in the village and on both occasions the food was absolutely fantastic and as for the Norbert on Tripadvisor saying all the food is frozen I think he needs to talk with the lovely owners of The Kings Arms as ALL the food served in here is fresh, homemade and cooked to order so I’m guessing he maybe got mixed up with the Bistro further down the road as there are only two restaurants in the village.The food here is REALLY REALLY good and we can’t recommend it highly enough, also the staff in here are all so lovely, we can’t wait for our next visit here. Keep up the good work and...
