Set within a stunning 14th-century building, this stylish Inn effortlessly blends historic character with contemporary comfort. From original stone walls and vaulted cellars to chic modern furnishings, every corner tells a story of timeless elegance.
The on-site restaurant serves seasonal British cuisine, while the bar and lounge provide a relaxed atmosphere for drinks, afternoon tea, or casual dining. The Kings Head Hotel is also a sought-after venue for weddings, meetings, and special occasions.
