My friend came in to order food and was met with a less than welcome atmosphere. It is unclear as to whether this was because my friend was from out of town, or an ethnic minority, it could go either way. Regardless, food was okay, but we were not given a warm welcome.

I was staying in Holdsworthy on saturday 7/1/23 with 5 friends. We read the reviews on the Kings Arms and thought it would be a nice meal and a game of darts. I went to the bar ordered drinks and asked about food. …

Stayed at The Kings Arms for 4 nights during a work trip. Rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Landlords very welcoming and ready to please. Breakfast was amazing with local produce. Sausages incredible. Can’t fault it. Highly recommended.
