Hi Dave there's also a campsite in Kington too seewww.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/KTIC/KTIC/Accomodation/camping.htm
I'd also reccomend the food in The Royal Oak , and also The Burton Hotel, they both do fine real ale too  . You could maybe try the food at Penrhos Court www.penrhos.co.uk/, it's an award winning organic restaurant about a mile or so east of Kington on the A44.
As for shopping , well Kington has quite alot for a small town, trying to think what i remember , theres newsagents, a Spar shop , also a Co-op supermarket, 2 banks I think, a Post Office , hairdressers or an optician if you find yourself in need glasses. There's a deli, 2 butchers, a petshop, useful if you've dogs, a fish and chip shop which also does kebabs, an Indian and a Chinese takeaway/restaurant, a laundrette, a beauticians, so if ya fancy a leg wax  . You could even get a tattoo if you wanted to, yep I was surprised to find a tattooist , yep there's some local bikers, I got speaking to one of them in The Oxford Arms. Oh yes and I can reccomend looking in Castle Hill Books , could spend ages in there browsing , and I did. If you find yourself falling in love with the area and wanting to buy a property there there's also two estate agents
  . I fell in love with the area, but no way could I afford a property atm, it's cheaper than here (Bedfordshire) , but there is all that beautiful scenery and fresh unpolluted air.

If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
