Carpets in the bedroom a little old.

Good venue and location for the price. With breakfast included.

Unfortunately it’s let down by the room we were in, where the bathroom was in such a state (mould, toilet seat detached) we complained and to be fair they moved us to another room.

This is in a lovely spot, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful.

There was nothing I didn't like. The bathroom could maybe be improved but the shower worked well which is always a bonus. We got the last space in the car park which is very small but we arrived much later than the 3pm check in.

A beautiful old pub, in a wonderful location with views of Corfe Castle, RSPB Arne and beyond. The welcome from the young lady who showed us to our room and the attention from the restaurant and bar staff was excellent. The bed was very comfortable with really good quality bed linen. Breakfast in the morning was all cooked to order and really delicious.

The room could do with a bit of redecoration in places, but was basically very pleasant.

Great location and pub. The breakfast was very good and the staff friendly. The bed was also very comfortable.

Wherever you get a macerator toilet you get a smelly toilet !,so I would put some plug in air freshener in the room just to drown out the smell with something nicer...😉

A Nice old Pub with Friendly Staff Great views of Corfe Castle .

Nothing once you accept it’s an old pub with bedrooms shoehorned into the space available

Quirky old pub with upstairs rooms. Good food and great location overlooking Corfe Castle.

We stayed in the smallest room at the Scott Arms, a cozy bedroom and bath. The rooms are above an old pub with an amazing back garden overlooking Corfe Castle. Kingston is slightly isolated in the countryside, but the Purbeck Breezer provides easy access to Corfe or Swanage during the summer months.

The building itself is very very old and really needs refurbished completely, not an easy task in a building that size, bed was very comfortable linen and towels fine but room itself dusty, plaster peeling from ceiling and window frame old and grubby

Staff are lovely, friendly and helpful, location is beautiful pretty village near to Corfe Castle, food, typical pub dishes, well cooked and presented, cooked breakfast very good.

Bathroom was stinky. Toilet was falling apart. Moth attack in bathroom, can't be helped to some extent. Ivy growing through window probably didn't help.

Breakfast lovely as were staff. Great location. Welcome tray and water nice touches. Proper milk sachets.

Perhaps a little more choice on the menus.

Breakfast was good. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg.

The mattress on our bed was very soft for someone with back problems. Otherwise all was excellent.

The location with views of Corfe Castle is wonderful. We have stayed here before and were rather disappointed by the early evening bar closure but this has now changed and we were able to drink outside enjoying the evening until after 10.30pm. The new manager should be especially commended for looking after his customers - he is extremely polite and attentive - excellent in every respect.

The big let down was the food. Very limited menu and badly executed. Given the location, it surely is not hard to imagine that there might be a leaning towards seafood? There is an opportunity here to create a simple but brilliant menu show casing local produce/seafood. It is not difficult to do. Just needs some inspiration and a good chef!

Room was small but bed very comfortable; I wanted to take the pillows home with me! The views from the bar and the garden are what you dream of. Stunning.

Waiting time for food at dinner was very long.

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Spacious, comfy room. Bath and shower. Great bed. Lots of space to put stuff. Lovely and plentiful food.
