Exceptional charm and the most wonderful staff imaginable. If you want to live your dream of starring in a rom com, stay at this hotel and order a pot of tea in the lounge. The King's Head Hotel is the embodiment of English coziness. We loved it!

We stayed one night at the Kings Head and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Our room was spacious, furnished to a high standard with a large and modern bathroom. The staff were uniformly friendly and efficient and the bar stocked a good selection of beers and spirits as well as being extremely comfortable. Our evening meal was of a very good standard and very tasty, with a good selection of wines available. All in all a lovely hotel and very good value for money. Highly recommended!

The staff at the Kings Head is outstanding! The hotel is in a great location. We had a wonderful room that has a very spacious bathroom (it was the Richmond room). The mattress and pillows could do with a replacement. Breakfast in the morning is delicious and you don’t need to leave to hotel for great fish and chips. The seating area in the lobby and bar was very welcoming and relaxing.
