It’s a fabulous old inn - several hundred years old - and it still retains its original character. Many of the staff are extremely friendly and approachable - but a couple of them are dilatory and seemingly disinterested.

As a disabled man, with very limited mobility, I always book places to stay that can cater for my needs. We have stayed at The King’s Arms before - and it is perfect for my needs. However, during our recent stay - nobody had informed me (prior to our stay) that, due to the village’s annual Heritage Day, we would have to park the car in their sister-hotel, The Crown (a couple of hundred yards down the road) for a couple of days. The staff in The Crown were superb - and nothing was a bother - but the walking between the venues caused me a great deal of pain. Consequently, I will be reluctant to return.

This is a beautiful property. Extremely well-maintained. It is the Coach House that was the first stop after people leaving London. The atmosphere is of a hundreds of years old tavern yet what they have done is to keep it modern in the best possible way. This is one of the locations where the movie ‘four weddings and a funeral’ was shot On the outside it looks as it is- hundreds of years old, but from the inside the bedrooms are modern with coffee machines, very large, comfortable beds, and modern bathrooms you can see have just been invested in. We had a quiet bedroom just as requested, and the staff were fantastic and responsive in any inquiries. The other thing I must say is that the food was wonderful. We had a couple of dinners there and they were catering for the conference that we were attending in a beautiful old venue, and if anything I would say, the food was too much!

We had a large cupboard, however, it was obviously being used by housekeeping to store all those spare cushions for the corridor! Given the size of bedroom, it was surprising that we only had one drawer to put our clothes into, unless you use the tiny little bedside drawers. In regards to the food, as I have said, it was fantastic but the buffets provided for our small conference of about 20 people was way too much food and that should’ve been adjusted after they saw how much was left over from the first lunch. After the third lunch, we asked what happens to the leftover food and were gutted to hear that it gets thrown out. Surely there must be a Charity nearby that this amazing property can support?

All staff polite and smiling. The gentleman on reception Sat 6th July evening was so friendly and told us all about the film history and made us feel so welcome. Thank you to him. Really peaceful location, oil radiator in the room. Loved the food … the best vegetarian burger and chips I think I’ve ever had. Comfortable and spacious room. Would recommend a stay here.

If I have to find something but don’t want to sound Uber critical .. we weren’t offered sauces at dinner and probably would have asked if someone had checked in with us during our meal. It didn’t spoil the meal. Cleaning services changed towels but didn’t remove the full bin sack I left out. The website had said walking maps would be available at reception (and I did request) but there were none. However the staff worked hard to find one.

Very pretty area, nice looking building, location was good. Rooms were clean and towels and bedding clean. Was easy to get to the next town via taxi. Staff were very friendly and professional and helpful.

Bed was quite small, quite a basic looking room. The shower tap in the bathroom came off in my hand as it was not attached properly, and water leaking out the the side pipe. I just had to twiddle around until I got the shower working correctly. The breakfast, whist edible was not the best. I asked for my bacon crispy and arrived burnt!! Did not point this our as I do not like to complain.

Staff were excellent and the property was very clean and tidy. Our room was lovely and breakfast was good.

The windows in our suite are single glazed due to the age of the property but the curtains did not block out the really bad drafts coming through. They did not reach the sill so I had to use the bath towels rolled up to block the draft coming through at the bottom. Also where our room was, was directly over the kitchen so was very noisy at times with voices and the emptying of bottles into bins.

It was in a perfect place near everything and it was clean and bright, modern furnishings but still keeping the quaintness of the property. The bedrooms were really comfortable had everything you needed. Kettle with tea and a coffee machine, hairdryer plenty of sockets for things. The bathroom was clean and modern loved the shower nice and big perfect. The staff were really really helpful and lovely very friendly and always smiling. To be fair can’t really pick one as they were all perfect so helpful, from the reception to the bar staff and the waitress in the restaurant, everyone gave perfect service. The food in the restaurant in the evening was amazing so good and tasty and it’s such a cosy restaurant. The breakfast was good plenty of food and a nice large pot of tea and coffee happy days. Anyway can’t fault this hotel at all will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nothing perfect

The Breakfasts and location and staff were great. It seems unusual for such choice in cooked breakfast, which I am grateful for and took advantage of.

The television signal was very intermittent, which seemed to be fixed at one point of my four night stay, but then the problem returned. I cannot say it spoilt my holiday but it was annoying on return late evening to not be able to watch something, and similarly before Breakfast. Thank you.

Historic pub/hotel with lots of character. Lovely big room with immaculate modern bathroom with shower and bath. Comfortable bed. Large, marked out carpark to the rear. Pub courtyard area a real suntrap and great place to relax. Very good breakfast. Really enjoyed the continental options of fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, granola and compote. Also available pastries, porridge, full English/veg/vegan and egg selections. Staff welcoming and friendly. Amersham is a beautiful town and well worth a visit.

Extremely helpful and flexible staff. Particularly in making sure my breakfast coffee was strong enough! Good breakfast. Had vegetarian options and a good mixture of hot and cold options. Also helpful in providing coffee and even breakfast on one occasion for family coming to visit. There was a real feeling of welcome and willingness to make the stay enjoyable and memorable. There was no feeling that I was just there for the money! Room service provided at no extra charge. Food was good quality and price reasonable given the state of the nation. Room was very comfortable and good facilities.

The shower was broken and wouldn't stay at the height set. The shower extension on the bath wasn't up to scratch either and so showering was difficult! There were chips in the tiles at the far end of the bath. The window security catch was broken,

Wedding at the hotel - all good ! Breakfast of good quality - just slow !

We did warn them that there would be about 10 for breakfast at 9am before hand - but they did seem to be completly swamped with that and it took nearly an hour for my cooked breakfast to arrive. Very nice when it did though. We were in room 1, which has a shower with a separate head and a big head above. the shower machanism could have done with a little mainenance as it was quite stiff to operate at first - and the hand held shower head was jammed behind the upright and I couldnt remove it - no biggy really - but a holder for the hand held head would have been useful. It did lok like the shower had been retiled recently - maybe it was work in progress. The tap for the sink was also loose - completely loose - so you had to hold the spout to be able to turn it on - worked though.
