Originally part of the Old Kings Head Pub, a sympathetic modern conversion into a stylish two double bedroomed cottage with enclosed private patio courtyard, completed in September 2021. The front of the cottage has a traditional Victorian styled facade, hiding a vaulted barrel shaped roof at the rear. We offer free parking outside for a medium sized car. Upon request we allow one well behaved small/medium sized dog (not in the bedrooms) for a small additional charge payable with the refundable security deposit by PayPal or bank transfer.
Neil and Maria welcome you to Kings Head Cottage and hope you enjoy your stay. We love the Old Town, it is truly a vibrant and special place and so much to see and do, with the added advantage of the beaches and beautiful country park. Please ask if you need any information on the local area. We are always open to ideas and feedback following your stay. For your convenience we have provided tea, coffee, salt, pepper and olive oil should you wish to use them. Please confirm prior to arrival whether you will need the single beds or zip and link king size made up in the 2nd bedroom. We respectfully request that outdoor shoes are removed inside the house and recommend that guests bring slippers for comfort. If we are unable to be here to greet you, a key will be left in the key safe box next to the door. As detailed in additional information, prior to arrival a refundable security deposit is payable by PayPal or bank transfer this will be refunded in full on departure following a satisfactory check out. Upon request we allow one well behaved small/medium sized dog (but not in the bedrooms) for a small additional charge payable with the security deposit.

The bustling George Street is a couple of minutes walk, where you will find many independent interesting and unique shops and boutiques, cafes and eateries and the beach is little more than a stones throw, there is so much going on from free concerts to the Seafood and Wine Festival on The Stade, smugglers caves, museums, an aquarium, a miniature railway and the steep funicular railway lift up to the East Hill, amusement arcades and fairground rides, crazy golf and further along the sea front is the Pier.
