“Casting around for a dream pub to run, Archie and Nicola Orr-Ewing found this one, set on an unspoiled village green with a comic old pub sign swaying in the breeze. They run it just right: bonhomie, bags of character, cosy corners and just the right sort of superior pub grub that suits today’s new-style old country inn. As for the bedrooms, they are the sort we love: simple and unpretentious, yet artfully decorated with junk shop finds, painted furniture, pretty fabrics and comforting throws on excellent, white linen beds.”

King's Head, Oxfordshire
“Set on an unspoilt village green with swings for the children, a stream for the ducks and a comic old pub sign swaying in the breeze.”
They say
“The King’s Head, a former 16th century cider house, is a privately owned freehouse set back off the perfect Cotswold village green with a meandering brook running by.
The pub has a heart warming spirit conjured up by open fires, delicious food and comfortable bedrooms.
Ten years ago, Archie and Nicola Orr-Ewing bought the King’s Head Inn and have worked hard to build up its reputation. It has been described as the country pub you always hope to find but seldom do.”
