Our twin room was very well appointed and comfortable although bathroom was small and the single wardrobe was cramped. Overall though we were very satisfied for a one night stay. Our evening meal was beautifully cooked and presented, although our reserved table was in the centre of a family birthday party which made conversation difficult. It was a fairly noisy evening with parties but the worst late night noise came from the pub next door where bottles were thrown into bins into the early hours and shouting from their customers kept us awake. However, this hotel has great atmosphere, a good selection of drinks and an excellent breakfast menu. Would recommend it to anyone although perhaps not those with young children.

Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced.

The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

Plus the option of a giant "bin lid" Yorkshire pudding for £1.50. It was stupendous, and the brownie with caramel sauce dessert afterwards was nearly as good. The rest of my family had Sunday Roast, which was also superb. Service was friendly and timely, and helpful with our questions. Ambiance varies at the Nag's Head from room to room; in the nearly-empty breakfast dining room in the corner of the building, it was a bit forlorn. Busier rooms near the heart of the action seemed cozier.

In our party the £10 Sunday Roast went down very well, with generous portions and huge Yorkshire puddings. The £12 veggie burger (minced mushroom) was very good and also generously portioned and cake with sweet potato chips and coleslaw. For s busy Sunday, service was very quick and friendly. So, not the cheapest venue but good value if you can manage the portions.

This is a tricky one. Years ago this was a smashing, traditional, stone-flagged, multi-roomed pub,…read moreserving great hand-pulled beer. The good news is that the beer is still top quality, albeit pricey (£3.50 a pint), and the roaring open fire was very welcome on a grungy day like today. Sadly though, the interior designers have been hard at work, and turned this place into a somewhat sterile experience with the emphasis more on food (expensive) and coffee than beer. I guess a lot of people will love this restaurpub, but to me it's mock tudor, and not the real thing. It's the sort of pub that foreign tourists go in because the real pubs look a bit too intimidating. The stone flags remain, but the soul has gone. Having said all that, and call me a hypocrite if you want, I'd probably go here again at some point as the beer was good.....but not before I'd been to a few other pubs in the area first.

The facilities at the Parkway gave our out of town guests the opportunity of using it as a base to visit family and/or the tourist attractions which they all took advantage of. A particular guest has back problems, the Parkway sorted out her bed and she had a wonderful stay. One can ask for nothing more.

We stayed there for New Year for a week and had a lovely time, the locals are friendly and in the cottage there is a book which recommends local places to visit and where to eat. The price of the cottages is excellent value and worth every penny. The farm is owned by a local family and were very efficient in all dealings for booking the cottages. Ideal for weekend breaks also. We spend seven days there and could have stayed another week theres so much to do. The cottage we stayed in is upsidedown so we slept downstairs. This is excellent as you can eat your breakfast upstairs and see the beautiful views from the windows.
