"We came to Usk for a day trip and stumbled across the King's Head as we walked around the town. The staff were lovely, when my husband ordered a pint, they didn't immediately assume it was for the man (even though it was, but I thought that was really refreshing!). The lunches that we had were huge but really reasonably priced. We'd definitely recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere."

"We decided to stay in Usk on the off chance, we had not booked in advance. The Kings Head Hotel were happy to offer us a room despite being super busy with a wedding. Our overnight stay was lovely, newly refurbished room with comfy bed & great shower. Enjoyed tasty 2 course bar meal and welsh breakfast on Sunday morning set us up for the day. Really helpful & friendly team."
"Loved the rooms! Spacious, very clean, brand new, warm and comfortable. Staff was so attentive and lovely. Breakfast included was delicious. We had a big family event in the party area and it was a very nice space, with warm vibes. We had music, a project and had a great time!"

The choices for breakfast are varied and very well cooked, the service was always..."

Car park across the road from the hotel can get full but..."
