Our stay at the Kings Arms was a delightful few days for us. Thirsk is a very interesting place with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and Moors. Our host was happy to share his local knowledge with us which was very helpful.The hotel food was excellent.

The hotel was lovely, friendly, gorgeous breakfast and was most enjoyable stay. We arrived at the hotel early and managed to get into our room early which was a major benefit. There was only one issue which you cant blame the hotel for, we had some really noisy guests next door in another room which was rather scary due to the noise being created. If the noise had carried on then would have considered calling the police as we did not have a number to contact at the hotel in an emergency.
