King Arthur's Rest Reviews

Samantha
Myself and 8 friends stayed for 2 nights at King Arthurs Rest. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The garden is beautiful and the jacuzzi was fantastic. The house was clean with all of the facilities we required. The owners were friendly with excellent communication. We walked to a nearby coffee shop called Teals farm shop, and had a lovely meal at The Camelot. Both places were only a few minutes walk away. We used the log fire, which was very cosy. I would highly recommend this house.
