What is there not to like about this place, clean rooms, comfortable beds, great food and a good variety of drinks. The staff were all hospitable, welcoming and attentive with nothing too much trouble for them. Though located next to a busy road, traffic noise was at a minimum

Great base to explore from

just stayed 2nights with friends at THE QUEENS HEAD great place to stay very welcoming clean and comfortable. A short walk into town .Free parking on site was a  bonus and on sat/sun mornings breakfast is available aswell as food during the day. We had the breakfast which was massive and very tasty overall we would definetly recommend and hope to return ourselfs

lovely weekend away

I stayed for 1 night having booked a small single room with shared bathroom. Durham has a limited choice of accommodation and is usually ludicrously expensive, and I was visiting during the Lumiere festival so finding this place at under £30 on a Saturday night was great. To my surprise I was given a twin room so had an abundance of space. The staff were helpful and friendly in explaining everything and it was positive that there was lots of storage, plus in room hot drinks and toiletries.  

I’m not sure how many I was sharing the bathroom with, but I didn’t experience any issues waiting. It was quite dated and did not have a shelf for toiletries, so could do with a refresh, but was clean when I used it and I also saw it being cleaned on the morning of check out. There was also access to a shared kitchen that was an unexpected bonus as I had brought some food and it was great to be able to refrigerate it. 

You could hear people in the corridor and other rooms, but it did not cause much an issue as everyone seemed quite respectful during my visit. The road noise did not cause any problem with the double glazing.

Great clean stay and helpful staff

I wanted to stay here but unfortunately they did not have the availability I needed, so ended up staying at another local establishment, which did not serve food. Warned on arrival that there would be a wait for it to arrive as they had been inundated all at once due apparently to a very rare event, apparently a local League 1  football team had won something, but as as I only look at things in black and white was not that interested :-)  So we settled in for this wait  but  it was less than  25 minutes for the starters which is less time that I have waited in many others without any information. and the main courses arrived within 20 minutes of collection of the starter dishes. As for the food, a word of warning, the portion sizes are huge!!  Not only the starters but also the main courses,  easily enough for twp per portion, might try a sharing platter next time to see what they bring it out on....... but I must say the quality is fantastic. and prices are good. The staff are great, friendly and attentive and will definitely be back there, hopefully stopping there.

Amazing food and portion sizes are beyond belief

Spent 3 nights here, room was small but practical, could do with a wall mirror instead of small table top one, otherwise was very clean, warm, comfy bed and fantastic shower. All Staff were extremely friendly, if visited Durham again would definitely stay here as was great value for money.

Great value

Attended the Queens Head on Saturday the 12th March 2022 for a gender reveal.  Very friendly and efficient bar staff in pleasant pub with a good choice of beers and fantastic food.

Had the Corona on draft which was spot on, had 3 starters of squid, chicken wings and garlic mushrooms, nice size portions and tasted great

Great Night

I have been a few times and the meals are fabulous. Portion size good and freshly cooked. Reasonably priced. Vegetarians and vegans catered for too. Staff are helpful. I will be back again..... And again and again!!!

Food is fabulous

The Queens Head is a lovely little BnB/Pub my partner and I both slept incredibly well, the room was spotless and the facilities were well maintained. The pub it’s self was lively with a friendly atmosphere, incredibly attentive staff and the breakfast was to die for. I could not recommend the eggs Benedict more.  I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

Lovely stay at the Queens Head

I had a really lovely evening atvthe Queens head on gilesgate with my work colleagues for our Christmas meal. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The food was both reasonably priced ajd absolutely delicious i would definitely recommend to a friend!
