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.

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.
