We had a lovely 2 day break at the Park Head Hotel. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and top quality. Our dog, Tilly was well looked after too. Barnard castle and the surrounding area are beautiful with some great walks along the river.

Check in was great. My daughter loved the colouring books. 😀 The family room was nice and spacious and clean. My daughter found the sofa bed to be a bit on the hard side but was fine once we padded it out with cushions. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast where there was plenty of choice. We will definitely be back.

Really nice place to stay, I'd come back for a short stay again. The full English breakfast was good, my friend thought that his pancakes were under done, the scrambled eggs were out of a packet & watery. The bar was well stocked with a reasonable selection of beers. The only downside was that they don't serve food after 1600 on a Sunday.

The Park Head is great and I stay here often. The shower was a little smelly on this visit. I wish the rooms had a fridge and either bottled water or maybe a glass so you drink water from the tap.
