What’s so good about the Kings Head? Simple the staff! Everyone was happy to help attentive without overpowering, friendly and helpful.
The food was excellent at a reasonable price. The room very clean and the bed was comfy with a good nights sleep. We stayed for 2 nights and would be very happy to go back again.

The Manager at this Hotel made sure that everything was sorted out for us. Squeeked us in when we had not booked to eat without any fuss and made sure that his team looked after us as Hotel guests.

Great little find
Nice comfortable extra large king size bed. Bathroom was fine other than the floorboard noises were a bit strange but expected from a building so old.
Dinner and breakfast were excellent - as was the beer and service.

The room was large and warm, bathroom was specious. Very comfortable bed and we had a good nights sleep, we had an event to go to and did not get back in time to try out the bar - next time!

Comfortable room but no cooked breakfast available
It was a lovely comfortable room with a very helpful host, however the breakfast was very disappointing as it was only Continental, and there was a lot of work being done in and outside the hotel when we arrived and dust was in the air inside reception. This stay was missing a cooked breakfast!!

Spent two nights at the Kings Head and enjoyed most things. Room could do with more coat pegs/hangers (in the absence of a wardrobe). Really quiet location. Ate there one evening. Liz and Ross work their socks off with the bar and restaurant, which was rather dimly lit for my taste but food very tasty. Plenty of parking.

Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay. Big comfortable bed. Outstanding breakfast with really helpful staff. Only downside was a very used ashtray on the ground in the communal entryway we shared with our neighbours. Clearly hadn’t been emptied in a while. Although this is better than cigarette butts on the floor. Just not pleasant to see.

Our trip to Norfolk
There was only an attic room advertised on hotels.com but when we arrived several rooms were available all at ground floor which made it easier for our cases. On the morning following our arrival the mains water tasted very salty. However after a couple of showers and toilet flushing it seemed to clear the problem

Had better stays here …
Stayed here a few times over the past few years but this time had a different feel to it the room 14 when I walked in had a very musty smell that was coming from the bathroom and had To have the bathroom light on to run the extractor fan to help clear the smell also soundproofing between us and the next room wasn’t the best. Lots of locals in the bar and I felt like a bit of an intruder. The Continental breakfast they offered for £7.50 didn’t seem worth it. No hot Breakfast during the week

Wow, what a gem of a find.
We stayed on 9th Sept 2024. The room was as advertised with a spacious king size bed, everything was clean and neat. The late afternoon started with a few cask ales, all in good condition. My wife enjoyed her G&Ts.
What made it special was a combination of the interactions from the staff; engaging, helpful, courteous and at times a respectful witty banter.
The 'cherry on the cake' was the food, absolutely marvellous. The homemade pate was spot on it had a smooth and creamy texture with a wonderful flavour and the steaks were cooked to perfection (rare). Of course we had to have dessert to help soak up the wine, a nice reserva Rioja, it all rounded off a very pleasant evening before we succumbed to the comfort of a lovely king size bed with cosy bed linen.
We opted for a continental breakfast, which offered plenty of choice to set us up for the day ahead.
