“The Kings Head intrigued me; its history goes back to the 14th century, with period architecture and an on-site microbrewery creating local ales, a Grade 2 listed hotel with unique character features. Its central Ross-on-Wye location makes it simple to explore Goodrich Castle, The Forest of Dean, or The Welsh Marches. An independently owned property with a cozy library, I think it's a perfect place to unwind.”
