We visited the Queens Head on Friday and Saturday night. Both nights there was a live band and the atmosphere was fantastic! A mixture of age groups mingling and just having a fun night out. Brilliant place!

Rooms are great, refurbished and modern nice walk in shower. Really good breakfast and the staff are always on the ball, very helpful with everything. Car parking not available due to using the carpark for under cover outside seating so had to find parking local to the place but plenty of options are available.

My wife and I had a three night stay at the Queen's Head. First a great first impression of the pub! Check in with a pint was simple. Everybody was really friendly. We had room number one which is in a separate block at the rear on the first floor. The room was spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfy. TV with full Sky package. Bathroom was great with a large walk in shower. The hotel is very well situated and we had a really great break.

Called in for a few cold ones whilst we were visiting Buxton and to be fair it was pretty good , great selection of beers on draft , we opted for the Doombar and it was spot on. This is a proper pub and the staff get the job done. Would definitely return.
