Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Kings Head Inn from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Kings Head Inn is often praised for its attractive appearance, especially when lit up at night, and offers great value for money. Guests frequently mention the spacious rooms, some featuring massive beds and balconies with lovely views, and the ample parking available. The outdoor spaces, including a children's play area and mini paddock with goats, are a hit with many, and the location next to woodland with walking paths adds to the appeal. While some guests have found the en suite shower rooms to be small, the overall experience is typically very positive.

nice servicetiny shower roompoor tv reception
the food tasted nice (especially the service).
The shower room was tiny. my knees kept hitting the cupboard when i sat on the toilet. It was a real squeeze. the tv reception wasn't good either. I struggled to watch anything. the price felt high considering these issues.

The bathroom was quite small. the hand basin felt too tiny. the bed was hard and uncomfortable. i also noticed the noise. A boiler or generator outside kept switching on and off throughout the night, this made it hard to sleep well.
