The Queen's Head

Joe and the team made us feel valued throughout our two nights, and their warmth was the best part of the stay. We arrived Friday afternoon for my birthday weekend, found parking easily in the spacious car park, and were welcomed as soon as we entered the pub. Joe led the staff with just the right mix of friendliness and professionalism. Our upstairs room was in an outbuilding only a few metres from the bar and car park. It was large, and Joe had put the heating on before we arrived, so it was already cosy. There was fresh milk in a flask and home baked chocolate chip cookies, with more available if we asked. The super king bed was very comfortable, the wall mounted TV was handy, and the bathroom had Land & Water toiletries. The shower was powerful and hot, the best we've experienced. We ate at the pub on the second night. A small problem with the order was sorted quickly and graciously, with an apology and a kind gesture. The homemade food was excellent, filling and served in generous portions. There were local beers on tap and a well stocked back bar, all in a cosy country pub atmosphere with friendly locals. The Queens Head is charming and historic, with an olde worlde feel. Attentive staff and welcoming locals added to the character of the building and made it easy to settle in. Breakfast each morning had plenty of hot and cold choices. The full English was excellent, alongside fresh pastries, fruit, yoghurt, and plenty of tea, coffee and juice. We'd happily return.
