The accommodation was spotlessly clean. Rooms were well-appointed with fabulous bathroom and quality toiletries. Tea pigs tea and Tan y Castell Welshcakes were a cut above, as well as Ty Nant bottled water. The mattress and pillows were lovely quality. Rooms had minimalist furniture creating uncluttered calming space. The full Welsh breakfast was impressive, cooked to order. Unlimited juices, cereal and toast. Friendly, efficient staff. Car parking onsite. A lovely stay. Will recommend to friends and family

Lively and friendly with good food and drink

one night stay to break up the retrurn from Somerset. The pub is lively and friendly, the food and service were both top notch and the room was almost like new in condition so was very pleasant. The only downside was noisy neighbours who kicked off at 02.00 which wasnt good for a decent sleep but thats not the fault of the hotel just inconsiderate fellow guests. Would recommend the Kings Head which is also very well located within Usk.

The property has great potential, but lacks the finer details. The rooms are new and feel fresh, but some small adjustments are needed—for example, no glasses in the bathroom, no hook for the towel anywhere. The website also needs updating. In this day and age, it's just not good enough. Contacted the property the day prior to arrival, never got a response. Breakfast was delicious! Like I said, it has great potential to be a very good place to stay.

Perfect

We spent 4 nights at the Kings Head and it was a perfect place to stay. The newly renovated bedrooms and bathrooms were pristine and very roomy, and the breakfasts were delicious, especially the local sausages. Stepping into the bar was like going through a time portal into the 1600's: there was a cozy fire burning, low beamed ceilings, and pewter tankards hanging from hooks. The fresh local fish on the daily special's menu was superb. But best of all was the attentive, friendly service from everyone who worked there. I would go back to Usk just to stay there again.

Valentines get away

We had a lovely one night stay at the Kings Head. As we travelled down we unfortunately had a very late check in but the team were super friendly and gave us a warm welcome on arrival. It’s in a great location for exploring and the cooked breakfast was delicious.
