Check in was a very quick easy process,
Accommodation was a little tired but absolutely fine for me,
Breakfast was very good, staff can only be described as fantastic
Thank you
The cottage was well decorated, warm and comfortable. It was quiet on an autumn evening. It is close to the parking and in the courtyard which might be busy on a summer evening.
The staff were attentive and aervice was good.

Weekend visit
The hotel is good value for money very conveniently positioned. The breakfast was excellent with very friendly staff. As previous reviewers have said parts of the hotel could do with a bit of an upgrade but all things considered it was fine

room small but comfortable
The room was comfortable enough but Small and quite dated.
Unfortunately they had lost the chef so no evening meals
The breakfast however was pretty good served by a very bright and cheery lady.

The Breakfast was included and was really excellent (good choices, fresh good quality ingredients, well presented etc.), and the free off-road parking at the rear was convenient.
We stayed in the cottage which is nicely presented, and good value. The only minor issues were the tv remote didn’t work (probably just batteries), the bathroom is a bit tired (toilet hard to flush, mold around the bath), but the shower and overall facilities were good enough.
Overall, a comfortable good value stay.
Absolutely perfect from checking in to sadly leaving
Very friendly and welcoming
Full breakfast was Plentiful (massive well presented plates)
Very cosy in room 4 with great size bathroom
Bar and restaurant very highly recommended
Easy access for bus routes to local villages and the East coast
Overall 11 out of 10 for our very enjoyable stay
Thank you
We have stayed at the kings head a few times now. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and have what you need for a lovely stay. We definately love the resident cat! Would definately recommend anyone to stay here.

Staff were excellent as was the location. The property itself is dated and in need of a makeover.
We were made to feel very welcome from the second we walked in the door. Everything was explained to us, car parking, breakfast and where the bar was (very important lol) we were so pleased we picked this hotel. The food was great too.
It is a very nice pub to stay local in. Small but comfortable room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only stayed overnight and only had breakfast which we nothing enjoyed. Stayed before and will no doubt stay again .
