The Hotel

Ross on Wye is a small market town nestling alongside the meandering River Wye. It is an ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside, including the Forest of Dean, The Brecon Beacons, Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds. Also a great stopping off point for trips to Cardiff or even racing at Chepstow or Cheltenham…

The Kings Head, which dates back to the 14th century, is situated in the most picturesque street in the centre of Ross. Until the advent of the railways in the 19th century, the Hotel was a small Coaching Inn. During Georgian times an extra storey was added and the facade changed to the current one. The Kings Head has open fireplaces and a wealth of oak beams. A tunnel reputedly runs in the cellar past the 12th century well to the old Saracens Head Inn. Occasionally there have been reports of ghosts and the clatter of horses from time past. We aim to bring the warmth of welcome and hospitality of a bygone age with convenience of the 22nd Century

King`s Head Access Statement

The King`s Head is a grade two listed building.
Unfortunately being an historic Inn, built several centuries ago, little thought was put into at the time in making the building accessible for people with disabilities. Whilst we would like to install lifts and wheelchair accessible toilets in the future, the physical nature of the building and the prohibitive costs involved make it currently impossible.

  • We have our own car park at the rear of the hotel for hotel residents. Currently there are no disabled
    bays as the car park is subject to future development. Help with luggage can be requested from
    reception
  • The restaurant is on level ground and has waitress service
  • Both front and rear entrances are on level ground
  • The bar has two steps down
  • The toilets have tight access and are not suitable for wheelchairs
  • Baby changing facilities can be requested at reception
  • There is no accommodation on the ground floor and no lift. Stairs to the first and second floor are narrow and winding. We would not recommend the hotel for any guest who has difficulty in coping with stairs. Assistance with luggage can be requested from reception
