I’m not sure what this was like as I didn’t stay. When I arrived the pub was busy and being a woman on my own I felt intimidated to go in. When I asked if I could have my money back I didn’t hear anything back so I assume I will not see that again.

Bedroom was very nice, smaller than expected but clean with everything we needed. Bathroom was lovely. Shame that they don’t make food there anymore, like advertised online.

Loved staying here it was something very different, the beds were a bit noisy so maybe some new mattresses needed. Would have liked a mirror in the room too! Other than that no complaints, locals downstairs were great and friendly.

I stayed for just two nights at the Queens Head. The room i stayed in was decent & i was happy with until i checked the mattress which was soiled, dirty & stained sadly. The kitchen facilities available for guests to use was pleasing. The Queens Head bar is great although as a hotel i would not recommend or stay there again. This is not only because of the dirty bed mattress It is down to the noise from bar downstairs & busy road noise outside. Furthermore The Queens Head is an overpriced Hotel & simply not good value for my money afterall.

AVOID!!! What a shame, having stayed previously we wanted to give return business to this pub. Arrived and welcomed given key to room. That was the only thing good about our experience. The bedroom we were in was a family room which had seen better days, the mattress on the double bed was broken. We requested a non smoking room but might as well have not bothered because the amount of smoke in the corridor that then came into the room was constant. Bathroom was OK but very tired. The kitchenette should be condemned. Two fridges to use but not cleaned, when we stayed their was old mouldy food in both and they were just generally dirty. Music from the bar was loud as they have changed into a sports bar which they do not list on online booking platforms. I don't expect glamour for the cost we paid but I do expect a response from the owner. Sadly they have IGNORED all my emails as well as all the calls from the booking site to discuss our stay. Such a shame

Great value stay at the very-friendly Queen's Head
Very friendly bar staff who showed a genuine interest in those visiting the Queen's Head, including recommending local places to dine - good to chat with ... All were first class, although I really only got to know Leah (the "face of the place" early to mid-week). Good selection of beers and spirits ... Inch's cider on tap. The 'Sports Bar' is well laid out - plenty tables/seats; televisions showing sporting events; pool table; dart board, etc. The outdoor beer garden is a great resource. The bedrooms with the shared bathroom are very basic - but excellent value for money. I had a great stay at the Queen's Head and hope to return soon.

The Pub was ideal for my needs as I was staying for a couple of nights to attend a Football match.It was a decent base for a drink at the end of each day after exploring Durham in the evenings.
