I had a lovely long weekend at the Kings Head Hotel in Cirencester, which is fabulously located right in the heart of the charming market town. The decor is stylish, and the breakfast selections were decent, though I found the Full English a bit bland. However, a few service hiccups, like the early kitchen closing and lack of helpful staff during busy times, did dampen my experience a bit.

Rooms

My room was beautifully styled and comfortable, but I wish there had been more storage space, as just six hangers in a wardrobe didn't cut it for a three-night stay.

The service was hit or miss. While some staff were friendly and polite, I experienced moments of abruptness, especially during peak times.

I was looking forward to my stay at the King's Head Hotel, especially given its central location in Cirencester. but my experience left much to be desired. The initial check-in was smooth and the staff were friendly, yet the hot tub in the spa was broken during my visit, which was disappointing. To top it off, I faced constant noise disturbances from outside, making it hard to relax during my stay.

The breakfast wasn't bad, but it certainly didn't stand out either. The hotel's location in the heart of Cirencester was a big plus, offering easy access to local shops and attractions, though parking was a hassle on my second night.
