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.

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

Great value trip
My first visit to this hotel. Very impressed friendly staff and excellent facilities.
Only minor issue, the windows only have blinds, these do not effectively block out the light so awake quite early.
On the whole excellent.

I enjoyed my overnight stay at The Park Head Hotel.
The room with ensuite i stayed in was immaculate & well presented also.
This room had recently been refurbished as it was all new, the en suite was modern & finished to a very high standard.
I slept well at The Park Head Hotel & i was able to relax.
I would certainly recommend The Park Head Hotel to all & sundry afterall.

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.
