Some good points, but several disappointments. The listing and the property's own website suggested something quite special, but the reality was a fairly basic and tired pub very much in need of some refurbishment. Kitchen closes at 8.05pm, not 9.00pm as advertised.on their website. Room cleaning / servicing during the stay was completely non-existent and despite asking for missing items to be provided in the room absolutely nothing was done, despite being carefully noted down by a member of the bar staff. No TV remote so TV was unusable. Tired and shabby decor with peeling paintwork and scratched furniture. No storage space of any kind in the ensuite bathroom and poor lighting by the shower. Stair carpet badly worn and not vacuumed in three days, the same dead leaves were on the floor for our entire stay. Very customer toilets, not clean. On the plus side the service staff were friendly and helpful and the food andwas good, despite being overpriced

We expected some noise as it’s a pub but the door slamming and constant noise from the beer garden was disappointing. Staff were very nice and the food was fantastic.

The staff were welcoming and helpful. However the room and en-suite were not very clean, in particular around the shower and wc. The room stairs and corridor need new carpet and redecoration and the view over the pub service yard not pleasant. The tv remote was the wrong one, we were unable to access the tv guide. Quality of food was good but evening meals were expensive and limited choice. Our room was also not serviced for our second night's stay. The Kings Head need to do better.
