Everything about the kings head was to our liking. We had a wonderfully quiet room at the back and really comfortable beds with crisp white sheets. The breakfast was well cooked and the staff warm and friendly.

Breakfast was fabulous and the bedroom was very clean. Bar had Aircon which was blissful with a temp of 32 degrees !! Staff went out of their way to help with the heat - fan in the room and a spare sheet so you didn’t have to use the quilt …. Much appreciated

Stayed here many times over the years, usually with our dog. The Kings Head always delivers, quite old fashioned inside but it adds to the charm, comfortable rooms, always friendly staff. Wouldnt stay anywhere else in Ross. Recommended

Easy parking and friendly breakfast staff . An extremely good base for exploring the area. An historic hotel so guests will forgive the creaky floorboards and unusually wayward floorboards. Clean and well provisioned,

Decent breakfast, clean room and fresh sheets. Property not suitable for people who have mobility issues narrow, steep winding stair cases. Would have been safer if someone offered to carry cases to room. Property was interesting as very old, possibly old staging house. Almost centre of town.

Warm welcome, super friendly staff. Comfy room and bed in slighty creaky but charming building. Great quality breakfast and excellent service. Busy bar and great atmosphere. Free parking and walked around a bustling Ross on Wye. Great stay in King's Head.

All of the team were very friendly and helpful. There was a young lady who served us breakfast and she was exceptional …. unfortunately we didn’t get her name. The only negative point was the stairs that were narrow in parts and not very wide. We are pensioners and found them difficult to claim.
