It’s a genuine pleasure to walk into The King’s Head Inn at Bledington. There’s no need to invent a ’theme’ for our remarkable, privately-owned Cotswolds inn, as it dates back to the 16th century, when it was originally built as a cider house.

Open fires welcome you in the winter, as you enjoy a local ale around the bustling bar or perhaps a warming meal. In the spring and summer, you may find that you and your friends spill out onto the famous and gloriously picturesque village green. In short, it’s the classic English pub that you always hope you’ll find, but seldom do.

The King’s Head is a great place for a relaxing drink or an award-winning meal, but its twelve attractive bedrooms also make it an excellent place to stay if you’re visiting from outside the Cotswolds.

Our owners, Archie and Nicola Orr-Ewing, have devoted an extraordinary amount of time and energy to restoring and improving this beautiful pub over many years now. In fact, you couldn’t find two proprietors with a stronger vested interest in the success of the business and the experience enjoyed by their guests. If you have a moment to speak to them, they’d be delighted to welcome you personally.
