Great room - spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet with a fabulous bathroom. The owner was very friendly and helpful - we arrived on cycles and she stored them in a secure area for us. The food in the pub was supurb, some of the best we had on this trip and the breakfast was well cooked and good quality.

We have just returned from a most enjoyable short break at the King's Head. The evening meal was reasonably priced, with delicious, fresh seafood and scrumptious deserts - streets ahead of the lacklustre meal at the Jolly Sailor down the road on our second night. The staff were very friendly and professional and breakfast made the most of wonderful locally... More

Good adnams beer as always and reasonably priced wine by the glass. Highlights were fish and chips, greek salad and... More

Stayed here with friends, though would come here just as a couple too. The food is wonderful and showcases the very best of local produce served to an excellent standard, well worth booking a table. The pub side of the Inn serves local ales and ciders but there is something for everyone here. Our room was well appointed and the... More

Very comfortable bed and loads of piping hot water for long soak. Good breakfast in friendly atmosphere. I would certainly recommend it. Did n't eat there as booked meal at Crown... More

It was our first time in Suffolk and we couldn't have made a better choice. For comfort, ambience and value we hit the jackpot with the Kings Head in sleepy Orford. The Kings Head made the ideal base for exploring the surrounding towns and countryside, either by car or foot. We were, however, always glad to get back each evening... More

We've eaten in the Kings Head before under its current ownership and were so impressed, we said we'd return and stay the night since Orford is one of our favourite places to walk and cycle. In fact, the last time we visited (over a year ago) we'd left the jolly sailors pub down the road after they declined us the... More

We stayed for three nights midweek. This is just how a pub should be. Lovely peaceful location, real "pub" atmosphere, comfortable rooms, good food and friendly helpful staff-the locals are quite a nice bunch as well! Orford is just an hour and a half away but a completely different world. We had one disappointment though-we never met Sam the pub... More
