Pros:

The bed was fine and the bathroom. Breakfast was okay too, as was the hotel location.

Cons:

The room was very slanted with concrete ceiling and when going to make a drink where the kettle was, you had to duck so you didnt bash your head.

We had exceptionally good, hot weather during our stay, the staff and facilities were good,
Pros:

Very friendly staff, excellent town centre location. We will definitely consider another visit to the Kings Head later in the year.

Cons:

No aircon in the room, but its an older building and the weather was exceptionally warm on the evening we stayed, so its not a criticism as such and a desk fan was provided to get a air circulation in the room.

Super value, super hotel
Pros:

Liked the well-maintained old world charm of the place, sash widows, which you could open. Nicely appointed throughout and helpful staff. We three hotels in as many days and this was head and shoulder above the others - both of which were good.

Cons:

No lift, however the staff immediately offered to take my case up.
