I enjoyed my overnight stay at The Park Head Hotel. The room with ensuite i stayed in was immaculate & well presented also. This room had recently been refurbished as it was all new, the en suite was modern & finished to a very high standard. I slept well at The Park Head Hotel & i was able to relax. I would certainly recommend The Park Head Hotel to all & sundry afterall.

Excellent hotel with very welcoming and helpful staff. Extra bonus was the EV charging point in the car park. High quality food and varied menu, including vegan options. Only minor issue was the cooked breakfast was only served from 7:30am, which affected my early start, but otherwise very good. Great location, easy to find and in a lovely setting with gardens and outdoor tables. Highly recommended.

The whole property was well presented and welcoming. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was a good size, with all amenities expected. The window overlooked a busy road but with the triple glazing there was very little noise.

Modern and comfortable with lots of parking

Stayed in the courtyard rooms which are good, the chairs are not the greatest and not overly comfortable but ok. Other than better fitting black out blinds as they let in a lot of light especially when the sun shines on them the room was good, good size, clean, with USB charging points. Would stay again for sure.

Very enjoyable stay.

Visiting the area house hunting. The hotel was perfectly located to get around. Very comfortable room, warm and very well appointed. Breakfast was excellent, and the evening meals too. Unfortunately the Sunday roast was disappointing, but all in all the food was good. The staff were excellent, efficient and friendly. Special mention to Sasha in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to provide great service, especially when the Wi-Fi failed and our order was lost. Thankyou all.

Top notch

A return to the land of my grandfather.. situated about a mile outside the town centre the hotel has a large carpark with electric chargers. The rooms are contained in a courtyard block set back from the reception in a style familiar to those that travel in Australia and that is a good thing. Facilities are excellent and each room is perfectly clean and spotless. The meals are cooked to perfection and the breakfasts are award winning The staff are courteous and attentive. All in all this is a top notch place to stay.

Lovely Room

It was clean and tidy quiet, it felt like flat, not a hotel room. You went up some stairs to your room, there was only one other room.. You had a view of the court yard, or of a field both.. had everything you need in the room very spacious..

A truly lovely stay from start to finish. Checked in with ease. We had a long drive and arrived later but reception staff were patient and professional. The building was clean, tidy and welcoming and our room delightful. Everything seemed fresh and spotless. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Again Staff were professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope, one weekend soon, will return. Thank you so much.

A great stopover to visit friends.....

Easy to find with lots of free parking. A warm welcome in a stylish reception. A spotlessly clean, spacious and nicely decorated room. A comfortable night's sleep. A powerful shower with complimentary toiletries. Again a warm welcome at breakfast. The dining room is bright and modern and a lovely place to eat. We were told to help ourselves at the continental style buffet and given a hot menu with lots of choices to order. Service was fast and we were really happy with our food choices. It was a good breakfast to set us up for the day. A lovely place, great value for money, we would recommend to others and definitely stay here again ourselves. Well done to all who work there including those behind the scenes.

Lovely renovated rooms in a barn/little village style. Rooms decorated to a high standard. Beds were too hard though, plus we had to go up metal stairs (and a big step into the room from the staircase outside) so it has less thoughts for accessibility (I have reduced mobility)

When you pull up, you are thinking you are getting an average hotel; nothing special. But when you walk through the door, it’s like going through the Twilight Zone. The lobby is excellent. The room was recently updated; very clean and comfortable. Very impressed, and it is just off the motorway. What’s not to like. Very pleased.
