The Kings Head Hotel

Nice hotel, nightmare guest next door Hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely with a quick check-in. Paid extra for a superior room which was great for the first 2 nights of our stay. The room had an adjoining door and on the last night the adjoining room was occupied but a loud and obnoxious family whose child screeched loudly for most of the evening. father (I assume) then proceeded to make loud phone calls until well past midnight. As there is no hotel reception or phone in the rooms you can not contact anyone so unless we wanted a confrontation with clearly rude and obnoxious people we were stuck. Being partially deaf I couldn't even block out the mans incessant drone even with loo roll stuff in my ears which may give an idea of how loud he was after his child has stopped screeching. I guess we were lucky that it as only one night and not the 3 we stayed or we would have come home early. Despite the good location and other positives mentioned not sure we would stay here again as we were absolutely wrecked the next morning after a dreadful nights sleep.

Choose as a last resort! I emailed the Hotel before writing this review, but have not received a reply back. So, here goes….for £94 per night B&B in high season, I did expect that the room would be basic. What I also expected was that the room would be clean. I unlocked the door to an unwelcoming room, drab and in need of decoration. I was attending a wedding so needed a room as a base. I got back to the room quite late, and just needed to get into bed. Firstly, I couldn’t close the sash window, which could do with a good clean. I closed the curtains holding the bottom of the fabric because they were grimey. All of my bags went onto the desk because I felt the carpet and chair could also do with a good clean. When I pulled back the bottom sheet, the mattress protector was horribly stained that I slept, cold and miserable, on the top of the quilt. The plug was jammed in the sink. I tried to push it up from underneath but it wouldn’t budge. It was also cracked. The toilet was clean and sanitised but I didn’t want to use the shower which was mouldy in places. Everything could do with a deep clean and cheering up. The staff that I encountered were pleasant. I couldn’t face breakfast there so I checked out and ate elsewhere. If anyone asked me today if I would recommend The Kings Head Hotel, I certainly wouldn’t.

Fantastic stay. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Great location and atmosphere. Room was really lovely with very comfy bed. Everything was clean and fresh. Good range for breakfast and well cooked. Would stay again.

Blood stained sheets Blood stained sheets, when I complained I was told I was lying. Disgusting hotel. Avoid!

Bit aged, needs some TLC but great service! Overall the stay was really pleasing, the room was okay, bit dated and tired looking but staff at hotel and adjoining restaurant were really lovely and delivered a great service. Complimentary water in room is always a nice touch, as well as regular tea and coffee/ biscuits. Had a lovely indian meal in the evening, so tasty and reasonably priced. The breakfast, which was included in the price was very tasty. Continental and full cooked breakfast, with numerous options available. Would recommend and definitely stay here again if in the area!!

OK - but tired Friendly staff - and the breakfast was good. I had a twin room which was clean and very tired. It felt like it had last been updated sometime in the 1970s. Old fashioned and in desperate need of a freshen up. Photo is taken from my bed looking towards the loo/shower room door - that's the TV up on the top left. For what I paid - I have to say it felt expensive for what I got.
