Stayed here on Thursday night with my wife, as a base for a trip to Flamingo Land. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this really is a hidden gem. The town it's situated in is really quiet. The hotel itself (at least when we stayed) wasn't rowdy in the slightest. Even if it was, the walls of the rooms are incredibly thick, so would probably block most sounds.

Read moreCalled in 19th June for lunch without booking a table. We received a warm, friendly, welcome from a very pleasant young lady behind the bar. We ordered 2 home made steak pies. One with chips and one with mash potatoes and both with fresh vegetables. Our meals were served in a timely manner, served hot, flavoursome, plentifull and delicious. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal, ambience of The Kings Head and friendliness of the bar assistant. She kindly advised me that there was a promotion on a pint of my chosen lager as opposed to half a pint. A gesture that I appreciated. Parking is good straight outside this lovely market place pub/hotel. Eating here you won't be disappointed. Would recomend and...
