Situated in the village of Didmarton in the Cotswolds, The King Arms offers free Wi-Fi, a bar, and an award-winning restaurant. This traditional 17th century inn offers homely rooms and charming self-catering cottages.
Dating back to 1652, the rooms feature wood furnishings, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. The en suite bathrooms have a hairdryer and complimentary Bramley bath and body products. The cottages feature a bright living area and a full equipped kitchen. Ironing supplies are available upon request.
The King Arms serves seasonal British cuisine in the fine dining restaurant. Dishes are prepared using fresh, locally sourced produce where possible and the bar offers real ales.
Didmarton is ideally located just 11 miles from Gatcombe Park and 10 minutes’ drive from the Badminton Horse Trials. The surrounding area is home to Westonbirt Arboretum and the historic Elizabethan house of Chavenage. The romantic Tudor manor house of Owlpen is a 20-minute drive away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.
“I was travelling alone, the hotel was perfect for me, I felt safe the hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was fabulous and the hotel was old and recently renovated but still kept all it's charm. Totally recommended it to everyone.”

“It was styled to fit the surroundings with nice welcoming touches. Good bed - good food - good staff - easy parking”

“Good choice, if at all critical I would have preferred to book somewhere with unlimited coffee. One cup without option offered. I think a cafeteria would have helped make breakfast perfect or at least the offer of another coffee.”
