The rooms at the front of the hotel are subject to noise from outside but they are large and nicely decorated. Therooms at the back are smaller but peaceful-so take your choice! The food is really good and the service has improved from our previous visit. The staff are really pleasant and helpful.

We were impressed by the friendly staff and the way they sorted out our minor problems. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast room was well laid out and and had more than the usual cornflakes and prunes. The location, right in the Main Square, was an ideal place to stay. We have been to the Richmond area many times... More

A good sized room, very clean hotel, well stocked bar and superb food. Breakfast served to you which makes a nice change. Friendly young staff and unbeatable value. This was a one night stop off on the way to the lakes but was well worth the effort. And a great location. Well done Kings Head!

Having stayed at this hotel a number of times over the past 5 years it varies considerably from one night to the next. The rooms can vary from dingy outlook to the rear of the hotal to pleasantly airy facing the front. The menu is limited but if you stay in a town hotel why eat in the restaurant? Get... More

We arrived early, but there was no problem getting to our room which was very spacious as was the bathroom. Shower a little feeble, but the bathroom was also pleasant with plenty of space. Much more than the cupboard with plumbing that is so often the way. We only booked for bed, so cannot spaek about the food. However, the... More

We stayed at this hotel on Saturday 27th April and were very warmly welcomed by the lady Manager on duty. It was explained that there would be a small wedding reception taking place near our room in the evening and that there may be some noise to be heard. However, we were not disturbed as we were out of the... More

I was in a group of 40 walkers staying half board for 6 nights. The hotel was extremely comfortable and clean and the staff incredibly helpful and pleasant. The buffet breakfasts were exceptional in terms of the range of choice and quality/quantity and the evening meals very good although I would have preferred a greater quantity of green vegetables.

Spent seven days in this hotel in March as part of a business trip. My abiding memory of the stay is the fantastic customer service; the bar manager and hotel manageress simply could not do enough for me. Another plus point was the breakfast.
