Living locally The Nags Head is our firm favourite - the food is excellent- imaginative, great quality, locally sourced and beautifully presented. The menu is varied without being too extensive which reflects the freshness and seasonality of the food, which you know is being carefully cooked there and then. The wine list is comprehensive without being over-facing-the waiting staff are... More

My wife and I first visited at the Nag's Head in the summer of 2003, and have returned a number of times, dining and staying overnight. Always a friendly welcome, it's an ideal place to break a long journey, or just to dine if you're lucky enough to be local. The bedrooms are well appointed, and in the annexe the... More

Just returned from a stunning night away. Very friendly owner welcomed us and we had prebooked a room in the main building on the hotel website. The room was compact but had everything we needed, spotlessly clean, well heated and lashings of hot water. I understand the rooms in the annexe are slightly larger, but we would actually request the... More

I had my 50th birthday dinner at The Nag's Head. We had the dining room to ourselves, which was brilliant as there were 22 family and friends to seat. Champagne and canapes to start which were delicious followed by a fabulous meal. All served beautifully by Edward and Janet's staff. I could not fault it at all. We have had... More

We were meeting friends at The Nags Head for Sunday lunch. We were quickly shown to our table, the staff were friendly and chatting to us. The menu was on chalk boards and was impressive with so much variety of food on offer. We all chose different dishes both starters and mains. The soup was homemade and completed with a... More

This is not a posh hotel but is all the better for it. We stayed recently after a long absence and it was just as we remembered. We don't go for luxury but for a clean comfortable room and to enjoy the food. When we were there the service was friendly - especially at breakfast where we couldn't do justice... More

We booked a family Sunday lunch at the Nags Head for me, my husband and our two young children. We had a warm welcome on arrival and we were shown to our table which we had pre-booked in the Bar. The menu is seasonal with a good choice of dishes for all palates. The waitress was very knowledgeable and children's... More

What a find! This delightful little inn with residential accommodation has not disappointed us on two separate visits this year. A very well equipped and comfortable bedroom with lashings of hot water and a magnificent view ensured a good night's sleep on a journey from the north to the south. (It is about two miles off the A 1 but... More

First visited Nags Head in early 80's and thought it was exceptional then, but somehow never returned untill we recently retired, never thinking the owners would be still there. We were very pleasantly surprised and memories came flooding back. Our long weekend was thoroughly enjoyable, very comfortable and clean room and a large bathroom to spread out in. Two of... More
