All the staff were good and helpful. In particular was Darcie who was so helpful and had great people skills.
Coffee machine in the room was nice. Only 1 teabag and zero teaspoons which was the only complaint. Food was large and good.

Valentines get away
We had a lovely one night stay at the Kings Head. As we travelled down we unfortunately had a very late check in but the team were super friendly and gave us a warm welcome on arrival. It’s in a great location for exploring and the cooked breakfast was delicious.

Lively and friendly with good food and drink
one night stay to break up the retrurn from Somerset. The pub is lively and friendly, the food and service were both top notch and the room was almost like new in condition so was very pleasant. The only downside was noisy neighbours who kicked off at 02.00 which wasnt good for a decent sleep but thats not the fault of the hotel just inconsiderate fellow guests. Would recommend the Kings Head which is also very well located within Usk.

Great hotel and pub
We stayed at the Kings Head, Usk for one night on Valentines Day. We were checked in by Adam (I think) upon arrival and he was very welcoming. We mentioned that we hadn't booked a table for dinner but were informed it wouldn't be a problem. The room was very nice - modern and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were gorgeous.
Dinner was fantastic, the food delicious and the service very good.
Breakfast in the morning was amazing with fantastic coffee! We'll certainly be back!

Perfect
We spent 4 nights at the Kings Head and it was a perfect place to stay. The newly renovated bedrooms and bathrooms were pristine and very roomy, and the breakfasts were delicious, especially the local sausages. Stepping into the bar was like going through a time portal into the 1600's: there was a cozy fire burning, low beamed ceilings, and pewter tankards hanging from hooks. The fresh local fish on the daily special's menu was superb. But best of all was the attentive, friendly service from everyone who worked there. I would go back to Usk just to stay there again.

The property has great potential, but lacks the finer details. The rooms are new and feel fresh, but some small adjustments are needed—for example, no glasses in the bathroom, no hook for the towel anywhere. The website also needs updating. In this day and age, it's just not good enough. Contacted the property the day prior to arrival, never got a response. Breakfast was delicious! Like I said, it has great potential to be a very good place to stay.
Venue excellent with good food in pub/restaurant. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. A great break in Usk.

Only criticism was check in and breakfast times were incorrect on Hotels.com website which was frustrating
