Room was clean and quiet. Staff were friendly. Small thing but blinds at the windows were not adequate enough to keep the light out from the car park. Breakfast - plus side they did have gluten free bread but every thing else was of low quality.

A thoroughly enjoyable short stay

The hotel was very easy to find and only a short distance from Bishop Auckland town centre, which we visited on the Saturday morning, using a local bus as the stop was just near the hotel. We were warmly greeted on arrival, which was our experience throughout our stay. Excellent staff, very helpful and polite. We stayed in a room just off from the the entrance near the court yard. The room was quite spacious with a very comfortable bed and excellent shower. We had dinner at the hotel on our first night and the food was well presented, hot and very tasty. A very comfortable restaurant and bar, though some separate seating in the bar area might not go amiss. Breakfasts were also excellent with good choices and well presented food. The car park has ample space and a couple of charging points. All in all a great 2 night stay and would definitely recommend There is plenty of car pa

Stayed with 2 young children and the place was quiet and in a very convenient spot. The breakfast was good with a good continental selection and cereal for the kids, cooked options were great too. Will be staying again when we stay in the area!

Park Head was an unexpected delight. Rooms were well appointed, bright, modern with good quality bedding and comfortable mattresses. Attention to detail and cleanliness were high. Breakfast was well organised and service professional. Definitely recommend.

Slept well despite the mattress and pillows being very firm. Thought the full English breakfast was overpriced for what you got (1 sausage, 2 rashers of bacon, half a tomato, half a mushroom, 1 hash brown, 1 small slice of black pudding and 1 egg). Also the plates were cold.

Great hotel

Overall really happy with our experience staying here. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, the rooms were spacious and clean and the showers were nice. Dinner was delicious too. The only thing that was a let-down was the breakfast, which was disorganised and overpriced. The juices on offer were strangely tasteless, there weren't any pastries despite being advertised, and we were brought, more than once, a regular full English breakfast instead of the vegan version. This didn't outweigh the positives of the experience, but I would avoid the breakfast if I stayed again
