Excellent! I will be back again next year.

Very friendly and convenient place to stay. Rooms are older in style and lovely. I have food allergies and they are very accommodating.

Cons:

The menu is great but if you are staying
More than a few days variety is limited. The menu stays the same each day

Superzalig weekend bij zalige mensen.
Pros:

De netheid in en buiten het gebouw. De gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van het personeel. Het eten was perfect in orde en ruim groot genoeg.we gaan zeker terug.

Cons:

Dubbel bed van 1,60m breed voor 2 'kloeke' mensen is beetje smal. Maar het bed was wel zalig om in te slapen.
De tafels in het restaurant plakten erg. Zelfs na het afkuisen. Misschien ander product gebruiken of eens nieuw laagje vernis erop?

Pros:

The Queens Head Inn did exactly what it was supposed to. Our stay was chosen for convenience of location.

The rooms were very dated (but it was a very old building). Everything needed a really good clean & it would have been perfect. But in fairness, the bedding was spotlessly clean & pristine white.. The towels were super soft & fluffy, with complimentary toiletries. There was plenty of tea, coffee biscuits, etc, in the room.

Breakfast was included, which was plentiful & tasty. Dinner was a good choice on our arrival day, with a small varied menu, reasonably priced.

All the staff were warm , friendly & chatty.. Good parking area. A very easy stay. We would use it again despite some negativity.

Cons:

The tables in the pub & dininy room were sticky, & quite dusty in areas.

Always a good stay.
Pros:

Good selection of beers, wines and sprits to enjoy on arrival assuming you arrive during opening hours. Staff very friendly. Our room was a nice size and the heating was reliable , good selection of Tea and Coffee. Breakfast was excellent, good choice and well cooked .

Cons:

I would prefer a walk in shower instead of stepping into the bath. Our bathroom door needed attention as it did not close properly.

Needs some work
Pros:

The location was great for us. Comfortable bed. Nice cooked breakfast. Good service. Smiley staff.

Cons:

The hotel furnishings are tired and needs updating. Our bathroom shower head didn't fit in the slide pole so you had to hold it. The water pressure Heat/cold was random and needs attention. The curtains need replacing as they let in morning light. The decor is grubby and there are piles of random boxes in hallways etc. also staff were standing around chatting watching the phones in view of clients.
