Had a fabulous long weekend at the Kings Head. Stayed in one of the lodges which was lovely. Decor was seaside inspired so added to the holiday feel. Food was fantastic and staff couldn’t have been friendlier and more welcoming. Will definitively stay again!!!

Enjoyable Stay

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food in the restaurant. Good choice of breakfasts. Room was rather small with no wardrobe or dressing table but was OK for a couple of nights. There were some wicker drawers but these were dusty inside. Only one bedside table with drawers. Tea, coffee, water and biscuits provided in the room and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom clean snd adequate. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Nice get away

We stopped in the ruby room, nice & spacious, comfy bed. Our room faced the road which wasn’t a problem with noise on a bank holiday weekend. Really enjoyed breakfast & the Easter eggs!

Lovely staff and a great meal. We stayed in a room above the pub itself and the mattress and shower could do with an update, but overall we had a great stay.

Highly recommendable place to stay all around

The stay at The Kings Head Inn was very pleasant. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable with an on-sight parking and located within an easy walking distance to town centre. The service was excellent and the food phenomenal. I would recommend it to anyone.

Nice friendly hotel

Nice friendly welcome. First impression of the room was not great, but we grew into it and were happy. Very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit cold and had some dead insects on the floor. Shower was excellent; very powerful and hot! Food was excellent; good value and very well cooked and presented. The full English breakfast was superb!

Short break in Rye

Very comfortable and attractive room. Close to town. Room was clean and well equipped. Shower area looked tired. Room was a little noisy due proximity to main road and overlooking beer garden. (weather hot so needed windows open) Lovely breakfast - although dining tables felt sticky to touch. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a nice hotel

Super Room

Beautiful room ( Champagne Room) with incredibly comfy bed. Clean and well-equipped. Lovely bathroom although the shower head was very small and therefore didn’t produce much spray. However, this was the only negative. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The stay was really good value for money and a super break.

Excellent hotel, would recommend.

Lovely hotel, the rooms are excellent in size, very clean, comfortable, with a very large super king bed, lots of wardrobe space and the bathrooms are kept to a very high standard. The food was brilliant, breakfast was very good indeed. The pub had an excellent atmosphere, with a great range of lagers, bitters and spirits. The staff where very nice and extremely helpful.
