We have just spent a 3-night week-end @ Park Head with Newmarket Travel. All the staff were pleasant, chatty and helpful. A special mention for proprietor Simon and chef Gareth. The accommodation, hospitality and food were all good. It was also nice to see the younger staff enjoying their work and knowing how to socialise and be helpful.

My husband and I had a lovely meal at this Hotel after a long journey. The staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome especially Georgia who couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely call here again if we are in the area and look forward to meeting Georgia again. Thanks again.

Always good quality food, nice friendly staff and, clean tidy rooms, the mobile phone signal is usually ok but weak, but in room 13 it was zero, and the WiFi though free and accessible throughout, is sporadic last year I was in 15 near the main building and...

We have recently celebrated our wedding at this venue......the only word to describe this was "perfect". During the lead up to the event Claire was great sharing ideas and keeping us on the right track. The evening prior to the wedding we had a fantastic family meal and from there on things got better and better. Thank you Claire, Tony... More

The room was very clean and spacious, tastefully decorated with beautiful views. Everyone of the staff were really helpful and polite. I would definitely return even if only for the breakfast! My husband could even see the village where he was brought up, which made this visit even more special. The weather may have been cold but the welcome was... More

We had up to 20 people attending the course and each person commented on how nice a venue it was and how good the facilities were. The tutor delivering the course... More

We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting family, the staff were so friendly and nothing was any trouble. Rooms were comfy and spotless and breakfast was good. If you are looking for a modern hotel this is not the place for you but if you want a friendly, clean, well run establishment with good food and excellent value for money... More

Went on Mother's Day - suddenly the usual £7.95 Sunday lunch is now £11. Didn't get anything extra - so not sure why they need to hike up the price other than to make a quick buck from everyone. Well done to the management - A great way to reward your regular customers!!!. Food was great as always. Place could... More
