Kings Head Hotel

Check in was a very quick easy process, Accommodation was a little tired but absolutely fine for me, Breakfast was very good, staff can only be described as fantastic Thank you

The room was comfortable enough but Small and quite dated. Unfortunately they had lost the chef so no evening meals The breakfast however was pretty good served by a very bright and cheery lady.

The Breakfast was included and was really excellent (good choices, fresh good quality ingredients, well presented etc.), and the free off-road parking at the rear was convenient. We stayed in the cottage which is nicely presented, and good value. The only minor issues were the tv remote didn’t work (probably just batteries), the bathroom is a bit tired (toilet hard to flush, mold around the bath), but the shower and overall facilities were good enough. Overall, a comfortable good value stay.

Floor very uneven but lovely and quiet good night sleep

Host did everything to accommodate us.

There was an issue with the room and the manager owner went beyond our expectations and help find a different hotel in the area. They gave exceptional help and service

Great location. Great friendly staff

A little outdated

Stayed for two nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice. Would use the Kings Head again.

Relaxing

Bed was quite small

Good choice on the breakfast menu. Freshly cooked. Staff very friendly and helpful. Private secure car parking. Good choice of food for dinner in their restaurant . Kirbymoorside a very pleasant large village with a lot of amenities. On doorstep of North York Moors

Couldn't work TV very well. Nothing else.

The breakfast was amazing and presentation and the choice was excellent.

My only disappointment was not being able to have an evening meal at the hotel, I wasn't aware I had to book and had to go to the pub next door.

We expected a typical four star stay. What we got was an average three star hotel. The breakfasts were good, the evening meals quite good but really just a pub menu. The room had a small amount of tea coffee sugar and one pack of biscuits when we arrived. We had to ask for extra on the first evening but expected them to be topped up during our daily room refresh. However those never happened! At all during our three night stay! So each day we had to find someone to ask for additional supplies. I don’t think having three hot drinks in our room is asking too much. We didn’t ask for biscuits so not sure if they would have been provided daily. The staff were generally helpful and friendly and doing their best but the hotel seemed understaffed with no evidence of anyone overseeing things and being in charge. Our room was quirky but that was ok. The bathroom was disappointing with a toilet seat that didn’t fit and a cold water tap with very poor pressure. The shower was good. We didn’t let any of these things spoil our break as we were out and about during the day and ate elsewhere on the last two nights.

Bed comfy, friendly staff

Small room

The location was perfect

Full English breakfast wasent the best

Centrally located, full of character

Staff very friendly and efficient - we where late for breakfast but the staff looked after us very professional

The rooms where very disappointing - our party had 2 rooms the TV did not work in both rooms, one room did not have a kettle, another no hair dryer. Decor very shabby and dark with made the room quiet depressing, carpets was very dirty/stained, no mattress cover on beds ( although bed was quite comfy ) our window was held open with a mini bottle of shampoo !! The ceiling in one room was very badly stained - I would guess from a historic leak above - but not attempt had been made to cover the stain up. All doors banged very loudly therefore we were woken up many time in the night and in the early hours.

Everything good about staying in a pub is at the King's head . Looking forward to staying again.

Easy to find, plenty of free parking available, friendly staff, food in the evening and breakfast were both great. Smart TV in the room so could watch Netflix etc.

High levels in the room hadn't been cleaned, covered in dust and cobwebs. Headboard of the bed also covered in thick dust. Paint flaking in the bathroom. The room was in serious need of a deep clean and also a refresh.

Lovely hotel

Nothing, all good

Very nice stay, staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is very traditional and the rooms spacious but needed some TLC. For example half empty toiletries and no toilet roll. Overall though this is a nice and friendly pub hotel and great value for money with the bonus of nice staff. The food in the pub was great and good value for money and the hotel breakfast was equally as nice. We would stay here again if in the area

Disgusting. Dirty. Unsafe. Owners are bullies. I had to call the police as they tried to throw my family out because I complained at the state of the kettle and lack of basic shower facilities. The landlord tried to break in. It was horrendous! See my review on trip advisor for full details- there wasn't enough characters in this box to leave the full horrendous, traumatic review.

Kirbymoorside is a lovely town to visit. The Kings Head on first impressions looks a bit worn. However, the service was outstanding. The staff could not be kinder, helpful and so polite. Our room was clean and very comfortable. The menu is small, plus the daily board. But, the food was brillant. Breakfast is outstanding. Best hotel/pub i have been to in ages.

Leaving

Our evening meal and breakfast were really good, the beer garden was lovely

Very old and worn out hotel. Have stayed in other hotels in Kirkbymoorside which were wonderful. Disappointed especially as I had booked it for my Fiancé's Birthday☹️☹️

Locals swearing away why playing darts

The location was close to where I was working. Arrival was fine. Pleasant greeting and shown to the flat. That’s where the positives ended.

I booked the flat. It was grubby and dingy. The kitchen was poorly stocked with utensils and the plug to the microwave didn’t have a back on it. Kitchen wasn’t open in the evening. No chef. Signs of things to come. I had breakfast booked. No signs of life when I went for breakfast. I paid for another breakfast somewhere else. I feel like I dodged a bullet there.

The King's Head hotel is an Oldie/Worldie building plenty of history, parking is at rear on one way system if carpark full ask staff if more parking available. Has a large beer garden at rear very well kept on entering hotel was met by staff member (who we later found out was Chef) we were shown to our room which was up a narrow staircase the room was spacious bit tired but didn't spoil holiday. Nice sash windows original feature with a window seat most comfortable,bed was a Queen size with sprung mattress if you're not a fan it will keep you awake ( I had no problems sleeping) lightweight duvet as we were having a mini heatwave. The bar at hotel had it's regulars couple hand pumps made my taste buds excited wife was happy with her southern comfort,food menu was above n beyond we tasted most of the food, also had a special menu plus dessert. Breakfast was a good choice for all food tolerances plenty choice waiting staff very polite quick on the tidy up I'd recommend you try everything on Breakfast menu.bar was busy in evening with guests and outside trade booking for dinner,book early if you don't want disappointment.Lots of brochures on dresser outside in hallway you wont be disappointed with place's to visit or just enjoy the breathtaking countryside, if you're interested in antiques visit Ryedale auction house ( it's the home of The Yorkshire auction house Angus).we never stayed for Sunday dinner it looked mouth watering we will try next time, Staff are family so family business keep it going 10/10

Just needs a Tweek .

Location good.breakfast very nice

Happy with what we had.

Dobre śniadania. Miła, ciepła rodzinna atmosfera

breakfast very good. Evening meal very good with variety on offer. Staff very accommodating.

Only had a light breakfast as going to a wedding. The porridge was so hot and tasty. As I am disabled the staff couldn't have done more for me. Superb bed, so comfortable. I

The shower unit could have been a little cleaner. Too many stairs for me.

Great if your looking for the olde world experience

We had an evening meal on arrival which was as expected and breakfast on both mornings which were good. The staff were excellent and very helpful.

The shower was poor and provided very little water which was a disappointment given the hot weather during our stay. The bedroom doors had a very strong self closure which slammed the doors shut. We fully understand the fire safety and security implications but we were awoken several times late at night and early in the morning with other guests entering and leaving their rooms.

We got “upgraded” to the cottage room which is in the courtyard of the pub. The room was big and had a separate lounge/kitchenette and bathroom. However the decor is very old fashioned and the toilet didn’t flush very well, the shower screen needs attention as water leaked when we had a shower. The front door sticks and is difficult to lock. We didn’t find the bed very comfortable and looks old. Breakfast was ok. The whole pub needs decorating and a good clean. It doesn’t look like there have been much investment in the pub for a long time. We only used it a base for touring around the North York Moors. There’s not a lot to do in Kirby Moorside, next time we probably would stay in a bigger town like Pickering.

Nice room, glad to have parking rear of hotel Had a fabulous home cooked dinner would recommend this Staff were all friendly & helpfu & had nice breakfast of our choice

Twin beds were a little soft springy for us & would have liked another pillow but that's just personal preference

The bar area at the hotel was good the beds were clean and comfortable and the bathroom facilities were clean

The carpets in the dining area were very dirty and the carpets and walls in the rooms were dirty spills on the window sill and down the walls paper coming off the walls

The staff were very helpful, particularly the breakfast waitress.

The bedroom and bathroom are badly in need of updating. The pillows were very uncomfortable and the duvet was two narrow to be comfortable for 2 people sharing. The breakfast was really bad: they knew vegetarians were coming to stay but didn't get anything vegetarian in; the oat milk was off; the bread for toast was the cheapest bread available and the fruit salad was out of a can. My mother joined us for breakfast and wasn't charged as they acknowledged how bad everything had been.

Confortable, contained, family accommodation for an overnight stay after a day trip to Flamingoland . The staff were very helpful and supportive . The breakfast was excellant, my grandaughter especially enjoyed the Belgiam waffle!! Thankyou so much .

Breakfast choice was great. Evening meals available. They staff are amazing, very welcoming.

Nothing.

Breakfast was good as expected.

Evening meal also good but on the second night they ran out of food. The shower trap needed cleaning, the shower tiles also needed cleaning.

Good room, nice breakfast

Location was well kept had private parking at rear

Our second day the food wasn’t as well cooked as 1st day even tho was same chef but I’d still return

Stayed overnight having attended a wedding it was fine for what we needed , missed breakfast

Lovely quirky little pub, food was fabulous, great service, staff very friendly warm and welcoming , the rooms were spacious and the bed was lovely and comfortable, would definitely visit again.

The only thing I would change is the brightly painted rooms, the rooms would be perfect if they were painted a nice warm neutral colour.

Very friendly staff and great location

The room is in desperate need of modernising. The hearing was on permanently and we couldn’t have the windows open as the cats came in and I had dogs. The beds were not really comfortable and the room was too hot.

Area staff Food . Excellent. And service. Just lovely friendly hotel .very good with dogs beer garden very nice. Would definitely go.back stay again. .

Looks abit tired in hotel needs re decorating in areas . Our little room in the bath room .needed updating . Pub lounge . Needs updating too .new carpet .public toilets need some work .

Staff absolutely amazing couldn't do enough, food very good we had a cooked full English breakfast and that evening had fish and chips and the batter was to die for, and ideal location to tour around north Yorkshire

The owner of the hotel needs to spend some money to upgrade the facilities the whole hotel is tired. Whilst our room was basically clean little thing like dirty light shade and tired carpet and having to prop open the window using a plastic bottle didn't give a good impression

Great location. Very friendly staff. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. We also ate Dinner there and the food was excellent.

Nothing

The staff were lovely

The room was not very clean and hadn't been cleaned properly for some time. Everything this very old and tired. And well below any other accommodation I have ever stayed in.

the food and the friendly staff

needed to keep bathroom light on overnight as the room was very dark and there was a low beam in the middle if the room.

Excellent.

Nice hotel and staff just needs the room we were in updating

Very good and helpful staff, good food, great location. The management and staff do all the can for you and are very welcoming

The interior décor could do with some investment by the owners. Despite the best efforts of the management and staff it is a bit tired

Good breakfast lovely girl serving

To remote not working Creaky floorboards Too many steps

Friendliness of the staff, Kelly even helped me carry our bags to our room. Great location.

Nothing

Fantastic breakfast - lovely staff throughout !

The landlord went out of his way to be helpful

The staff were very friendly and the food was very good

Was expecting a large double bed but it was just a double. The shower was leaking so not very powerful and the head of the shower kept tilting forward. Our room was not cleaned for the last 2 days of our weeks stay.

Lovely place and very welcoming. Stayed in the cottage at the back which was lovely. Had a meal in the restaurant and was beautiful. The breakfast was good too.

Nothing

Room very poorly serviced. Floor in room creaky and sloped. Heater in room not working. No hooks in bathroom to hang clothes. No shelf to place toiletries. Pillows very hard. One uncomfortable chair in room.

Loved being in an old pub. Plenty of ambience. Staff were very attentive

Everything

We had a lovely time the staff are fabulous really great hosts especially on arrival 😀, nothing was too much trouble, I loved the old building it has character would deffo recommend and hopefully will stay again in the future.

Overnight stay very nice evening meal and great breakfast

My stay at Kings Head, Kirkbymoorside was just wonderful. The host and all the staff were friendly, helpful and did everything they possibly could to make my stay comfy and enjoyable. First class stuff!

The property was very comfortable, the staff were very attentive, fabulous choice of meals and breakfast. Would visit again.

Lovely stay and super friendly staff. Good food

Great food and drink

Room could due with freshening up, large cobwebs on the ceiling.

It was very nice.

Very friendly staff. Allowed to park the car before check-in so we could explore the area. Breakfast was good. We also had our evening meal here which was very good.

Location Small friendly hotel Friendly and very helpful staff Comfy bed Large clean room and bathroom

Breakfast could have been better. Doesn't state on the menu what the full English contained, there was no orange juice. No water or glasses out. No oat milk or milk alternative.

Lovely staff very friendly late bar awsome breakfast

Room ever so slightly tatty and shower was tiny

The staff were lovely and friendly

The room was dirty, no plug in the bathroom, the shower ran freezing or boiling, there was a low beam in the room I cracked my head on. The breakfast was instant coffee and food swimming in grease.

Really friendly staff, lovely evening meal, and good breakfast in the morning ....
