We stayed here for a Saturday and Sunday night in April. Behind the old façade lies a modern hotel with 78 rooms in a modern block. The rooms are clean, with modern furniture. The bathrooms do not have a bath but they do have a walk in shower with plenty of water. There is a car park at the back... More

Stayed here recently and thoroughly enjoyed my overnight accommodation. As other reviews state it has been extensively restored and the grand old building has a quality feel about it. It's frontage overlooks the historic market square and you can get a great feel for the history of this once significant port town. Rooms are decorated to a high standard and... More

We enjoyed a two night stay in the Dukes Head Hotel courtesy of a Living Social deal that also included a dinner in the Turners restaurant on one evening. The hotel was subject to an extensive refurb quite recently; this has been largely successful in maintaining the character of the historic building, whilst incorporating generally stylish complementary decor. The location... More

The hotel has a lovely restaurant and lounge, staff are helpful and friendly. Car park is free but small, we got the last space. Had a great stay and would recommend the dukes head to... More

The refurbishment has lifted the whole hotel and staff. Tasteful and modern décor combine well with the sweeping staircase opposite reception. The bedroom in which I stayed was very comfortable with very fast wi-fi thrown in, The food was superb and was of the highest class and the service could not be faulted.
