Located mid-way between Oxford and Cheltenham, Kings Head Inn at Bledington, is 16th century and nestles in the heart of the Cotswolds. Rooms are en-suite, cosy, compact and either within the main building; or located in the courtyard area. All rooms feature: free Wi-Fi, TV, seating area, complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee facilities. Free parking is available at Kings Head Inn and free Wi-Fi extends throughout the building. There is a courtyard garden, safe deposit box facility and rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. Following breakfast, visiting guests may enjoy the convivial atmosphere of the public bar, with open fire. Later dining is in the two AA-rosette acclaimed restaurant where fresh, local products are integral ingredients. The inn is a 15-minute drive from the A44, 40 minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon and within very easy reach of Cotswold favourites: Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Tetbury.
The authentic atmosphere here, complete with open fire, certainly complements the meals that are served. All washed down with excellent beers from the bar; this, for many, has to be the epitome of holiday breaks in the English countryside. A chip off the Chipping Norton block.
Rooms are en-suite and well decorated. Beds are comfortable. Courtyard rooms are quieter than those in the main building and they are a bit bigger, with a few more ‘extras'. But the choice is yours.
It's just off the village green and (of course) the village has streams running through it. The tranquil setting is the icing on the cake in this glorious location, in the middle of the Cotswolds.
There are elements of room cleaning that are well below standard for any room … anywhere. Yes, they state that rooms over the bar may be subject bar noise … and they are … but the tariff charged is such that there should be some attempt at soundproofing.
Lights flicker and detract from the enjoyment of the meal. Over-loaded circuits? Whatever the problem, it's one that needs sorting, in order to merit the prices charged.
It all comes down to money, value and pricing. If they adopted the same principle to meal portions and content, as they do to menu costing, then that would be a good start! There is absolutely nothing wrong with exceptional ‘pub grub'. A few embellishments and over enthusiasm with the wording on the menus ... don't make it into something else.
