“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.

An independently owned property with a cozy library, I think it's a perfect place to unwind.”

attentive staff quick service convenient parking wide selection
The hotel staff were attentive and provided quick service. I found parking convenient with spaces available behind the building. The location allowed easy access to nearby shops, and i had a short walk to local attractions. Breakfast included a wide selection of hot and cold items.

Acceptable stay
friendly staff great meal tight entrance poor stair
The staff were friendly. They created a warm cute atmosphere. Breakfast was good. The restaurant provided a great meal one evening. I also enjoyed a great pint.
The car park entrance was very tight. Stair access to the rooms was poor. It could be considered dangerous particularly when carrying luggage. The room decor requires updating.

uneven stay, several issues noted
sloping floor noisy toilet
The room floor sloped noticeably. The head of the bed was lower than the foot. this caused a very poor night's sleep. the toilet included a macerator and it was noisy. the lack of level flooring and the loud toilet were disruptive.

Excellent Stay in a Classic Hotel
helpful staff air conditioning convenient location
the staff was cute upon arrival. my room had air conditioning, very useful as the weather was warm. breakfast each morning included local produce cooked to order. i also enjoyed dinner in the restaurant one evening. i found the hotel's location to be very convenient.
the hotel showed its age, requiring a deeper cleaning, so some modernization would have been great
