Kings Head Hotel

Stay here just to use the restaurant. Great food. Everything was good quality and there was a fair selection of half decent wines.
Richmond is a lovely town and this hotel give you a great base to explore it and the surrounding area.
My room was a bit pokey but it was clean. The staff here are friendly and helpful. It's so nice to see genuine smiles. Again, another hotel that does not cater for smokers in any way. I don't need to be able to smoke in my room, but there's space by the side of the bar area for a covered and heated smoking area and that would be a nice addition and make nicotine addicts like myself feel less like second class citizens.

An impressive location on the main Market Place. The overall external appearance of the hotel is rather poor compared say to its refurbished dining room. The room I had was furnished in a mixture of differing styles from pine to late nineteenth century which gave the impression that it was done on a low budget. The beamed ceiling intruded significantly into the room space. The roof was a nesting place for pigeons who cooed throughout the night. Having said this the room, breakfast and evening meal rate was excellent value with the food of a very high standard.

An old building with associated eccentricities - no lift, confusing lay-out. Our bedroom had a frosted glass window - hence no view whatsoever.
Food was first class. Free parking at hotel limited but plenty of parking on square from 6pm to 0900 - after that parking limited to 2 hours and a disc required.
Comments of other reviewers inaccuarate - square has a single samll supermarket - the rest of the shops being small and varied - no noise in september.
Worth a vist but it is not a modern business hotel.

Staff were helpful and pleasant. I arrived late and asked if it was possible to have a bar snack.The chef cooked an excellent meal even though it was within minutes of the menu being unavailable.

Food excellent with excellent service, would recommend this to anyone.
