Downstairs was lovely and food and service was excellent. Booked a superior room although not sure that it was … bed was large and comfortable, bed linen was good quality. Bathroom and carpet in the bedroom let it down .. tv could have been a tad bigger.

Great bed!! Room and bathroom good, bearing in mind this is an old building. Double steep flight of stairs could be problematic for older people. Host is very amenable.

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.

We loved our stay - the room was very comfortable and bed was king size. Breakfast was good and accommodated vegans. Our dog was very welcome and they even offered a doggie breakfast! Staff were very friendly.

This lovely old coaching inn is so convenient for Ross town centre. I love the sitting room (in winter they have a real fire). The staff are very helpful (offer to carry bags upstairs) and the good is better than excellent. This isn’t my first stay and it won't be my last.

Lovely old building and pub

Beautiful old building with a lovely bar/pub and restaurant (which we only used for breakfast). Staff were allvery friendly. Room was furnished very well, with a big, comfortable bed, however the duvet appeared to be two singles zipped together rather than a super kingsize and only just covered the bed. There was a fair amount of noise in the early mornings from outside (pub preparations) and the room upstairs, so I needed my earplugs. The bathroom decor was good and nice, big white towels, but the shower door wouldn't close completely, so a lot of water escaped onto the floor. Excellent location in the town centre.

Great place to stay

A very good stay. Great location. Plenty of character with period stairs and floors. Would have given 5 stars if the maintenance had been a bit better. Just little things really, all easily fixable. Would certainly recommend for a stay.

Perfect nice hotel in a good location. If you have mobility issues ask for a ground floor room as the stairs are steep and twisty!! Breakfast was nice.
