Win a stay at the refurbished King's Head

Kingshead 1

The recent stylish refurbishment of The King’s Head has seen 12 rooms reorganised into 10 (including a Suite and a Superior King). This gave the Manager, Matt Clapison, the opportunity to rename or renumber the rooms – but had him scratching his head as to how!

Then the idea came to name the rooms after Kings! But which ones? The Kings chosen are all English kings, dating from Egbert, who reigned from 802-839 all the way to Charles 1st (1625-1649). But although the names on the room doors might conjure up thoughts of medieval times, the interiors are anything but!

Modern and very comfortable, with quirky touches, the rooms all have co-ordinated furnishings, tea and coffeemaking facilities, with truffles from White Rabbit and biscuits made in the King’s Head’s own kitchens.

All the rooms are en-suite and with the bathrooms featuring beautifully-tiled wet rooms. The Suite and Superior King also have master bedroom baths. An extra thoughtful touch is that the rooms overlooking Saturday Market all have shutters as well as heavy curtains to reduce noise from the car park.

If you have the opportunity to stay at The King’s Head, here is the room-choice with their associated King:
Suite – Harefoot (which includes a sofa-bed)
Superior King – Lionheart
Deluxe Kings – Aethelred, Ironside, Forkbeard and Bolinbroke
Deluxe Doubles – Egbert, Godwinson, Longshanks and Charles 1st

Egbert and Godwinson are quieter rooms, with Ironside the quietest as it is furthest away from the bar; however, it does have a low roof – these Kings of old were not as tall as men are today! Longshanks, Aethelred and Bolinbroke are front-facing.

Room tariffs depend on the size of the room; weekends attract a slight premium. All include a full English breakfast. Additional benefits for guests include 20% discount in the King’s Head’s own restaurant, on-site free car-parking and 2 beer-gardens, one fully enclosed.

Private functions can also be accommodated, making this an ideal venue for celebrations.
