If you like quirky …
Staff were excellent , breakfast equally good.
However, the hotel is old and tired and there should be a health warning in regard to the steep winding staircases.
The rooms could benefit from the addition of body lotion, tissues and a coffee maker.
The hotel has a good vibe and we would come back.

A mixed stay. The room was spacious but noisy unfortunately. We were above the bar and below another room. The floors were creaky and I woke up when the upstairs guest got up in the night and early morning. The bathroom was tired - the bath panel falling off. But the shower pressure was great.There were few places to hang wet towels (a few hooks would fix that) and the bed mattress felt old. It is a shame because the pub and restaurant are lovely, the food was great and the service was good. Parking was confusing - I filled in a form to reserve a spot but it was full and I ended up parking in another car park in town.

Once again the staff and service at the Kings Head were friendly and professional. Our room (20) is a wonderful example of this old building, the only down side to the room is the fact it’s on the top floor with steep stairs leading up to it, but worth the climb.

Anniversary Trip
Lovely stay overall. Good food and friendly welcome and service. Room was spacious and comfortable. Place is kept well and clean. We were on the second floor and it was a bit of a steep climb up to the room especially with a suitcase. It is an old building to be fair. It was ideally situated for the local sights.
