If you like quirky …

Staff were excellent , breakfast equally good. However, the hotel is old and tired and there should be a health warning in regard to the steep winding staircases. The rooms could benefit from the addition of body lotion, tissues and a coffee maker. The hotel has a good vibe and we would come back.

The staff were genuinely friendly, and keen to help with any request in a warm and intelligent way, however busy they were. The bar had good chairs for relaxing in with a book and a drink, and there was another room to sit in too. The bedroom was clean and the bed comfortable. A really excellent breakfast, with lovely croissants, or the full English, with vegetarian option. I hope I manage to stay here again!

A mixed stay. The room was spacious but noisy unfortunately. We were above the bar and below another room. The floors were creaky and I woke up when the upstairs guest got up in the night and early morning. The bathroom was tired - the bath panel falling off. But the shower pressure was great.There were few places to hang wet towels (a few hooks would fix that) and the bed mattress felt old. It is a shame because the pub and restaurant are lovely, the food was great and the service was good. Parking was confusing - I filled in a form to reserve a spot but it was full and I ended up parking in another car park in town.

Very quirky and charming building stairs to access bedrooms would not be suitable for everyone. Staff on the whole were very pleasant and attentive. The entrance to the car park is quite narrow but it was great to have the option. The hotel is right on one of the main shopping streets with lots of lovely coffee shops and gift/antique shops. The breakfast was lovely with high quality ingredients.

We very much enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Kings Head. The adventure of staying in a very old pub in the centre of town. It took us a couple of laps of the Ross High street to find the parking entrance and with some precision driving we got in to the car park down a narrow walk way. Parking is a bit limited some evenings but there is also a public parking area at the rear of this. Reception was warm friendly and helpful. Our room was at the top of 4 flights of a steep spiral staircase so the 20 kg suitcases stayed in the car. Room was very clean with views into the High street. En-suite bathroom clean a functional. Room was quiet but a bit of early morning activity could be heard in the street. The bar and dining downstairs can get busy but is worth having a couple of drinks and dinner at good prices. Breakfast was included with a hot traditional or lighter options. They certainly have excellent coffee here compared to other breakfasts I have had in the UK. Ross I a great location to explore from and has many quaint shops in the street. Overall excellent value for money.

Once again the staff and service at the Kings Head were friendly and professional. Our room (20) is a wonderful example of this old building, the only down side to the room is the fact it’s on the top floor with steep stairs leading up to it, but worth the climb.
