Transformation of the King’s Head

Caroline Culot from the EDP visited us recently as we were finishing our new rooms, here’s an excerpt of her article but you can read the full thing here.

As Anton Wimmer, proprietor at the King’s Head in Bawburgh will tell you, it’s been a long ambition of his to convert old disused rooms above the 1602 inn into accommodation.

The King’s Head has been in Mr Wimmer’s family for 32 years and for nearly a decade, he has had a vision to create rooms above where people could stay.

And after a year of stripping back walls, uncovering old features, sandblasting beams and finally enlisting the work of an interior designer, Mr Wimmer is about to officially unveil six bedrooms where you can stay and extend the experience of being at the King’s Head.

“We are not a hotel, what I wanted to create was a country pub inn where you can enjoy good food and stay the night,” said Mr Wimmer, married with two children.

“I know it sounds a bit of a cliche to say it has been a dream but it really has. I want to love the soul of this building.”
