The Kings Arms Hotel - A refurbished coaching inn with a Mediterranean-inspired tapas restaurant and free parking

A traditional coaching inn set in the historic Cotswold town of Malmesbury, The Kings Arms Hotel offers 15 individually decorated rooms with bespoke work desks, Nespresso machines, and en-suite shower rooms. Rooms vary in price based on size, view, and location within the building, starting from £120 for two people. The hotel features a Mediterranean-inspired tapas restaurant and a traditional bar with darts. Malmesbury Abbey, a 7th-century landmark, is a 3-minute walk away, while local shops and amenities are within a few minutes' walk. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and car parking is provided at the rear of the property, accessed via a narrow archway on a first-come, first-served basis. The Kings Arms Hotel also offers a function room with a projector for presentations.

Pros

The hotel is centrally located in historic Malmesbury, within walking distance of landmarks like Malmesbury Abbey.

Rooms include Nespresso machines and bespoke work desks, catering to both leisure and business travelers.

Free private parking is available onsite, though spaces are limited.

Cons

The parking archway is narrow, which may pose difficulty for larger vehicles.

No spa or pool facilities are available on-site.

“Location is a true highlight, placing you steps from the Town Hall and Malmesbury's charms. I found the west-facing terrace and garden a real draw, particularly for sunset views. Tapas evenings, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms round out a genuinely appealing stay.”
