Stayed here recently and thoroughly enjoyed my overnight accommodation. As other reviews state it has been extensively restored and the grand old building has a quality feel about it. It's frontage overlooks the historic market square and you can get a great feel for the history of this once significant port town. Rooms are decorated to a high standard and... More

We enjoyed a two night stay in the Dukes Head Hotel courtesy of a Living Social deal that also included a dinner in the Turners restaurant on one evening. The hotel was subject to an extensive refurb quite recently; this has been largely successful in maintaining the character of the historic building, whilst incorporating generally stylish complementary decor. The location... More

The Dukes Head Spring special was an absolute bargain, the room was very clean, light, airy, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was good and good value. The hotel has a lovely restaurant and lounge, staff are helpful and friendly. Car park is free but small, we got the last space. Had a great stay and would recommend the dukes head to... More

The refurbishment has lifted the whole hotel and staff. Tasteful and modern décor combine well with the sweeping staircase opposite reception. The bedroom in which I stayed was very comfortable with very fast wi-fi thrown in, The food was superb and was of the highest class and the service could not be faulted.

I stayed here for 1 night in early May, I had a meeting at a local factory the next morning. Work had booked this for me, and I didn't know much about the hotel before visiting, apart from a quick look on TripAdvisor to see what the reviews said.

As I entered the hotel I was made to wait at reception whilst a member of reception staff chatted away to another member of staff about a night out - absolutely disgraceful. I then found her to be continuously rude and huffy throughout conversation. I have no problems with anything else during my stay here, the food was lovely (not... More
