Great friendly welcome from all the staff, Room was clean with excellent facilities, The Oak Room serves very nice food and has a good selection of drinks and the prices are very reasonable, again the service was attentive and friendly,
I have no hesitation booking a stay here again, and look forward to coming back
Nice warm spacious room, staff very good. Slight problem with the shower but got it sorted and the Internet was patchy. Nice breakfast in the morning before leaving .....
The breakfast was very good with good selection of dishes.
Service was excellent.
The room was very comfortable, water was hot at all times of the day and the heating system worked very well.
Cleaning could be a bit better, quite a few cobwebs found.
Nice spacious room with everything you need and exceptionally clean. A very good price too. I just needed a one night stay while visiting my daughter so it was perfect
Friendly staff, really good food, excellent accommodation

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
Nice room had all amenities apart from an iron and there wasn’t a phone to call reception. Wasn’t a major issue as everything else was perfect. The car park is quite big and free. We checked in late and out early so did not try meals. Overall excellent value for money.
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.
Very nice clean and modern room, very nice hotel. Sound proofing very good.
Excellent breakfast, nice staff
Only issue was rom was warm and couldn't open the window due to the traffic outside.
A very well organised hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was of a bery high standard. Also its located not far from the attractions in Bishop Auckland. I would definitely return.
