One night stay at the Park Head Hotel

We stayed here one night while visiting friends. Easy check in and friendly staff, the superior courtyard room was well equipped,clean and modern. I found the bed firm which was uncomfortable for me as I prefer a softer mattress. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and freshly cooked, delicious 😋 would recommend.

Generally good. Only problem was the pre booked £20 dinner. That would work with a set meal. It doesn't work well a la carte
