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.
