Previous visitors' comments about Queen’s Head:

A very good holiday property for us as a group of 11 friends. The beds were extremely comfortable, with quality linen and duvets. Heating was available constantly and the open fire was a great success. There was always plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances good. We would definitely use this property again.
Mrs Rhodes, Rotherham, October 2011

A lovely large house with great facilities, particularly the kitchen. The lovely welcome pack and birthday present were a thoughtful gift on our arrival.
Mrs Osborn, Chesterfield, September 2011

Nice setting. Central to everything and anywhere we required.
Mr Maidment, Malton, May 2011

The location and the fact that on arrival, the property exceeded my expectations - the photos on the website did not do it justice. The owner had also left a welcome pack for us, which I thought was a lovely touch. The covered barbeque area was also a great idea, allowing you to accommodate for the great British weather!
