8/10 Good
"I enjoyed the stay but we were a little disappointed by the size of the room and the balcony which was tiny. I expected a little more for the price. We wanted something really special for this trip but sadly expectations were not met. On the plus side, friendly staff, nice garden and very lovely location."

The Dukes Head Hotel

8/10 Good
"Had a two night weekend break. Arrived earlier than checkin time but were able to leave the car in the carpark - note there is £15 per 24 hr fee. When we did checkin my partner's birthday was acknowledged and our room was upgraded! Room was spacious. A little worn in places but overall clean and comfortable. Had drinks in the bar but ate out other than breakfast. Breakfast was all buffet style but worked well. Would stay again if returning to the area."
