Our room, which was in the sixties block at the back of the hotel, was clean, warm and refurbished to a high standard. The whole hotel has undergone a refurb and the public areas... More

My sister recently had a very small informal wedding breakfast at your hotel, the food and service was excellent.  However, I needed to change my sons nappy and was amazed to hear that you have no baby changing facilities. I didn't want to leave the building, spending time away from the party to seek another venue with baby changing facilities... More

My girlfriend's first reaction as we walked inside was "Isn't it posh!" and it is, indeed very nice looking. The room whilst not the biggest was very modern and had a lovely bathroom, although unfortunately no actually bath (however the shower was a very reasonable size). The location is superb and is a stone's throw from the main high street... More

It is 45 years since my previous stay in the Dukes Head Hotel which was on my wedding night. Recently, I came across a special offer which encouraged me to book an overnight stay. The hotel's owners have invested heavily to update and modernise and the result is excellent. The room was well appointed and the public lounge where we... More

The hotel has an excellent position by the main square, and has an imposing front and good reception area and lounges. The staff were all very friendly, and mostly efficient. The chamber maids and workmen (refurbishment work still ongoing) all greeting customers with a cheery greeting. So a good vibe of a happy establishment. Our room was a reasonable size,... More

Recently stayed here on a groupon 2 night deal. On arrival we were initially disappointed as the building looked quite a dismal 60's building. However this was the rear and once you walked to the front the lovely Georgian aspect was fantastic, unfortunately there is no rear entrance which is a rather long trek back and for the car park...
