I’m not sure what this was like as I didn’t stay. When I arrived the pub was busy and being a woman on my own I felt intimidated to go in. When I asked if I could have my money back I didn’t hear anything back so I assume I will not see that again.

Loved staying here it was something very different, the beds were a bit noisy so maybe some new mattresses needed. Would have liked a mirror in the room too! Other than that no complaints, locals downstairs were great and friendly.

I stayed for just two nights at the Queens Head. The room i stayed in was decent & i was happy with until i checked the mattress which was soiled, dirty & stained sadly. The kitchen facilities available for guests to use was pleasing. The Queens Head bar is great although as a hotel i would not recommend or stay there again. This is not only because of the dirty bed mattress It is down to the noise from bar downstairs & busy road noise outside. Furthermore The Queens Head is an overpriced Hotel & simply not good value for my money afterall.

AVOID!!! What a shame, having stayed previously we wanted to give return business to this pub. Arrived and welcomed given key to room. That was the only thing good about our experience. The bedroom we were in was a family room which had seen better days, the mattress on the double bed was broken. We requested a non smoking room but might as well have not bothered because the amount of smoke in the corridor that then came into the room was constant. Bathroom was OK but very tired. The kitchenette should be condemned. Two fridges to use but not cleaned, when we stayed their was old mouldy food in both and they were just generally dirty. Music from the bar was loud as they have changed into a sports bar which they do not list on online booking platforms. I don't expect glamour for the cost we paid but I do expect a response from the owner. Sadly they have IGNORED all my emails as well as all the calls from the booking site to discuss our stay. Such a shame

Very disappointing!
Although the price was, I wasn't expecting a top class room. However, as a business traveller, I wasn't expecting music to start at 20:30 and to go all the way to midnight. My room was directly above where the music was being played so I had no chance of even attempting to go asleep. I would definitely not use this hotel again. I will be going back to hotels.com and demanding a refund.

Relentlous music
The room was pleasant but being in a pub meant that the music droned on until 11.30 and the door was continually slamming and vibrating the room.
