Get treated like royalty at the King’s Head, Cirencester.
If you’re looking forward to a Spring weekend away, or just want to have a night frfom from the post-Christmas blues look no further than the Cotswolds and a chain of boutique hotels. A coaching inn since the 14th century, The Kings Head in the centre of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, is a landmark Cotswolds pub with 64 rooms.
The Kings Head re-launched on 26th September, following a major re-branding, re-configuration and refurbishment of its public spaces by new owners, Brakspear, including a relaxed pub bar with roaring fire and courtyard garden, a very stylish all-day brasserie serving innovative modern British dishes and elevated pub classics and very comfortable rooms – 32 dog-friendly. Doubles from £120 a night on a B&B basis.
Several unique event spaces include its Georgian ‘Lavender Hall’ suitable for weddings and parties and wine cellars with vaulted ceilings dating from Roman times. There’s also a first floor roof terrace perfect for drinking and dining during the warmer months and hosting regular live music nights.
Situated on Cirencester’s historic Market Place, this former coaching inn has expanded over the centuries to encompass surrounding buildings of Georgian, Tudor and Medieval origin. This blend of architectural styles has created characterful and charming interiors further enhanced during the refurbishment by Brakspear’s’ in-house design team who focused on creating an authentic Cotswolds retreat inspired by the area’s cultural heritage, including decorative finishes by William Morris and sensitive restoration of original architectural features and period details by local, artisan craftspeople.
The result is a range of particularly unique and very special spaces to drink, dine and stay, while The Kings Head team warmly welcomes everyone, from the local community to visitors to the area, and their dogs.
The Kings Head is the flagship property of Brakspear’s managed inns estate, Honeycomb Houses and can be visited here.
