Great value trip

My first visit to this hotel. Very impressed friendly staff and excellent facilities. Only minor issue, the windows only have blinds, these do not effectively block out the light so awake quite early. On the whole excellent.

Very disappointed !

I recently stayed overnight here with my sister . If only the hotel had responded to my emails instead of ignoring me ! The Saturday night was really good and we had a lovely meal served by a very nice young girl ! But on Sunday morning when we got up there was not a drop of water in our room ! We were told you’ll have to come over to main building for toilet ! So no toilet no shower no cup of tea etc . No point hanging around so came over for breakfast expecting to be served a freshly good breakfast with lots of choices - not so ! It was a chaos busy service not very well organised things kept running out and the only bread was white cheap bread ( which kept running out ! ) So not what we had paid for and not we were expecting ! Receptionist said they would be in touch with people ! Not a word ! I wrote an email which said they would respond within 48 hours ! Not a word so I wrote another one saying how disappointed I was and upset to be ignored and that after the third time of being asked I was going to post a review . All I heard was it is not our fault water went off and breakfast had to be changed because they were full ! Not good enough I’m afraid and not the way to run a business by ignoring issues .

I enjoyed my overnight stay at The Park Head Hotel. The room with ensuite i stayed in was immaculate & well presented also. This room had recently been refurbished as it was all new, the en suite was modern & finished to a very high standard. I slept well at The Park Head Hotel & i was able to relax. I would certainly recommend The Park Head Hotel to all & sundry afterall.
