The Perfect Stay
Pros:

I always stay at the Headfort when I return to visit my home town. The staff are always helpful, friendly and professional, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is very nice. Wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else. The hotel has been part of my life for 53 years and I have so many happy memories of celebrating family events there.

Great value mid week stay in lovely hotel with exceptional staff.
Pros:

Staff very friendly, breakfast was amazing in the Vanilla Pod and lovely lounge to get food or drink in. Reception staff very helpful. Bed was really massive and very comfortable. Great value for a one night midweek stay in a quality hotel.

Cons:

One of the bed side lamps wasn’t working but plenty of other lights so didn’t bother staff about it. Nothing else at all.

A beautiful hotel with a heart of gold
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful, served straight away and was fantastic. The room was very spacious and the staff were very friendly. The hotel is a beautiful place with a heart of gold.

Cons:

Room was a bit cold due to the radiator being far away from the beds. But apart from that it was fantastic.

Schönes, traditionelles Hotel
Pros:

Ein ansprechendes traditionelles Hotel mit freundlichem Personal mitten in einem ansonsten eher tristen Ort. Haben nach einem ruhigen Zimmer gefragt und bekamen ein riesiges "Family Room" mit ordentlichem, geräumigem Bad. Frühstück in Ordnung. Sehr gute Parkplatzsituation (eigener abgeschlossener Parkplatz an der Rückseite des Hotels).

Cons:

Der Motor der Lüftung des Badezimmers war extrem laut. Sehr störend war, dass man auch die Lüftungsmotoren der angrenzenden Badezimmer so stark hörte, dass wir davon sogar nachts aufgewacht sind. Hörte sich an, als würde eine große Waschmaschine im Schleudergang laufen, und das gerne mal eine halbe Stunde ... Hier würde sicherlich der Einbau modernerer Motoren helfen.

Friendly enough
Pros:

Staff fine, parking was good. Clean and comfortable. Everything works etc

Cons:

It all felt a bit out of date, live music was dodgy country song chap doing karaoke with a backing track. Bless him he did his best and I saw an older lady singing along so maybe it's me that's the problem 🙂
