The Kings Head is a traditional pub with rooms above - but no noise problems (unless you consider church bells to be noise). Friendly innkeepers, super atmosphere, made us feel welcome. The staff were very responsive to requests (e.g. oat milk in drinks, porridge for breakfast). Comfy bedroom, incredible location (first time in Wharfedale - blown away).

Perfect weekend break

We visited The Kings Head this past Sunday for tea and the food was amazing! We both had the topside of beef roast dinner and it did not dissapoint. Great, friendly service, a varied menu to choose from as well as great drinks on draught. Dog friendly as well, which was great for us as we were staying at the campsite nearby so had to bring our little guy with us. Would definitely recommend and will return if in the area again.

Amazing food and hospitality!

Called into this pub for a drink whilst staying in the village at a different venue with my son.  Mark and Karen have recently taken over this place and are absolutely brilliant, they are so friendly and welcoming and we had a real laugh with them and also the other lady behind the bar (didn't get her name). We enjoyed their hospitality so much, we returned the following night too. I will definitely be returning to the village of Kettlewell and  will look at staying here.  Mark and Karen definitely deserve to do well with their new venture at this pub.

Weekend away with my son

First time visit to The kings head, 2nd time to Kettlewell, lovely little village and it’s the pubs that make the visit worth while and to me Mark and Karen were very welcoming and very accommodating.  We arrived at a very busy time and they still managed to get us booked in as we were happy to eat when they were able to  fit us in.  We went in again following evening to watch England and they were happy for us to move furniture around to get a good view for the match and make sure everyone was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and chatty.  We had steak and ale pie all home made and very tasty, overall a very welcoming experience, we will definitely be returning to kettlewell and will recommend this pub for food  and drinks with a welcoming atmosphere!

The village pub you want to visit, good food, reasonable priced drinks and friendly staff, perfect!

We had a meal here and I had the nicest Cheese and onion pie I've ever had.  It had caramelised  onions in it.
The others had Beef brisket which was cooked slowly for 10 hrs. Delicious.
The staff couldn't have been nicer.  They are quite new but couldn't have given us a better welcome.

Excellent meal.

Tried all the hotels/pubs in Kettlewell this week and this place had the best food and service in town. It had been a cold day and it was great to see the log burner in full blaze. We had booked a table and were warmly welcomed. Food arrived promptly, well presented and delicious. Have booked a return visit.

Best in town

Just had one of the most delicious Sunday lunches I’ve ever eaten in beautiful surroundings and a roaring log fire.
Just reopened under new ownership a week ago.

Attentive new proprietors - one being the chef with clearly many years of his art. His partner is front of house and was very accommodating and friendly.

I had a very generous piece of Succulent brisket with all the trimmings cooked to perfection. Being coeliac was no problem at all and I wasn’t made to feel like an alien which can sometimes be the case!
Tastefully renovated and top spec . Even the napkins were of the highest quality. 

The energy is good and there I would really recommend this place whole heartedly. I asked to look at the bedrooms ( so accommodating) which are all spanking new and wasn’t disappointed-have booked to stay for our birthdays in a couple of weeks time and am already dreaming of the delicious food.
Wishing this lovely couple all the luck in the world - I’m sure they will soon be booked up!

A little gem

Family adult stay,I wouldn’t class it as a 4 star our room was tired ,no hot water from the bathroom sink,although we don’t expect it  but it was first time we have been anywhere where the bed wasn’t made, the waste bin not emptied the excuse was covid ( this was after restrictions were lifted)this excuse was used on numerous occasions but the truth was there didn’t appear to be anyone in charge just a small number of young people (probably on basic rate) working their butts off trying to keep things running,both pubs in the village belonged to the same people and you could tell.we was booked in for two nights stay and the first morning we went down to breakfast they wasn’t prepared for 9 people although obviously knew there was 9 of us, a lack of dishes ,milk ,butter etc the young girl was running around like a headless chicken as  there was only her and the chef in the kitchen, the following morning we was told we had to walk down to the other pub for breakfast has there was no chef there and that was a shambles too, where was the manager/owner?? Would we stay there again ?no chance...

Family weekend

Went here for an evening meal and what a surprise, the food was fabulous, monkfish with all yummy sauce but make sure you order a bowl of chips as this finishes off the sauce, I would have liked to lick my plate. This was followed by raspberry parfait, yummy ness on a plate, hats off to the chef!
I also wanted to say that the 2 young people who were out front deserved double wages as they served drinks inside and out, covered the bookings and serving of all meals and all of this with a happy, professional manner. This place is a lovely find and long May it reign.

What a delight!

Stayed for two nights. Room was clean and well furnished. However, we were disappointed to find that both breakfast and dinner (which we had pre-booked following great reviews) were served in sister pub, The Bluebell,  Food was basic pub fare but adequate.  We were told we had to be back between 9.30 and 10.00 p.m as Kings Arms would be locked. This didn’t really affect us.   However, because access was through the pub we were unable to leave the building  (as it was locked )for an early morning walk until the chef arrived at about 7.40.a.m.  There was no separate entrance for anyone having overnight accommodation.  This throws up safety considerations as there was no information in  the room as to how to evacuate the building should it have been necessary. We were asked to leave room keys when we left during the day and in the evening so it would be known who was in. However, the bar was not always manned and the keys were easily visible and accessible and could be picked up by anyone. We were not totally sure if there were smoke alarms in the room. The staff were pleasant but COVID seemed to be an excuse for a raft of minor problems including non service of the room which we were not told about . Clean towels are a necessity and had to be requested. We chose this accommodation after wonderful reviews in The Times. Sadly, it did not meet our expectations. A pity as it has the potential to be a wonderful place to stay I
