The Kings Head Hotel

Really good pub with nice food , bar staff were very helpful especially the girl who greeted us, the housekeeper was also helpful when stocking up with more coffee and requiring a portable heater as the radiator in the room wasn't working correctly. Room furniture and decoration was nice, room was well equipped with comfy bed and chair. Reasonably clean. Bathroom good although bath a little dated and old. Hot water in bath and shower but not very hot from basin. Good pub with good atmosphere nice food and beer. Enjoyed hearing about the residents ghosts ! Very old hotel with many period features including wobbly floors and steps ! Communal stair case had a lovely mural painted all around with Charles Dickens characters. My only complaint was that the stairway and carpet were dirty with manky carpets and a very greasy smelly. The kitchen was on the second floor so I guess this was why. I have stayed in pubs before and understand this is a problem when you are on the thorough fair from the kitchen. I think though they would be wise to invest in a deep clean of that whole area. Other than that I loved the place and its people.

Needs a proper reception. That’s my only bad thing I’d say. Otherwise. Great place. Great location. Staff are helpful
