If you are neither of the above then the Allenheads isn't for you, the place is a mess! You would think with the money they make they could refurbish a large part of the building, I woke up in the night to find the bathroom full of flies (the light obviously attracted them in). Tables are really sticky and horrible,... More

Excellent stay perfect overnight stop for party of 14 taking part in the cycle coast to coast. Made very welcome food and beers very good. Amply strage for bikes recommend fully. More

The origin of " Can't wait to go back to Allenheads Inn! " appears to be somewhat suspect- a bit too good to be true- and would suggest that it ought be disregarded. I am in the process of organisibg this years Cycle C2C event for our enthusiastic group but after a complete letdown at this establishment last year we... More

Fantastic evening at Allenheads. Lovely Staff, fantastic clean warm rooms! Not sure about all the comments on here, we didn't see damp anywhere. A building of this age is going to have to quirky things to it. The food was lovely in the evening and breakfast was great. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay... More

We were a party of friends staying over on Saturday night 21 Oct. All the bedrooms were booked out to us. Staff were welcoming and courteous.

The rooms were damp with dirty shower trays. The stairwell to the top floor had mould growing and signs of serious dampness from a damaged roof. We had a meal... More

What a state this place is in ! Damp is to be found in all it's forms all over the building and no amount of plug in air fresheners will help.... Unclean rooms with plenty of local wildlife do not make for a good nights sleep. Truly awfull food and average drink make this one to avoid. Sadly it's awkward... More

We ate here while in the middle of the C2C cycle route and decided to leave very shortly after eating due to a rather hostile atmosphere created by the insulting staff - including the manager! Very odd place, would highly recommend finding somewhere else to eat where you might be made more welcome. More
