One night stay at the Park Head Hotel

We stayed here one night while visiting friends. Easy check in and friendly staff, the superior courtyard room was well equipped,clean and modern. I found the bed firm which was uncomfortable for me as I prefer a softer mattress. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and freshly cooked, delicious 😋 would recommend.

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.
