Thought the location would be noisy, but the rooms were nicely tucked away behind the pub.
Rooms are not spacious, but are well maintained and cleaned daily.
Only issue I came across was that the shower waste needs some drain unblocker, but I'm not going to score them down for something that might never have been reported to them.
Would definately recommend for a one or two night stay.
Buxton too, is well worth a visit.

Lovely clean room & very little noise from the pub, which was absolutely rocking, on Saturday night.

Helpful & friendly staff (who also sorted the heating for us).

My Mum had the ground floor ‘accessible’ room as she has trouble with stairs & that’s AMAZING.

It’s a great spot to access the town: love Buxton.

Beware. The first photo paints a brighter picture than the reality, which is a courtyard at the back of a standard drinkers pub , which would never be described as warm and cosy. Despite the photo, the courtyard is full of wooden benches and a temporary structure for smokers. It's a simple bed and breakfast that is clean and if priced accordingly would be OK. Despite having to go through the pub the room was quiet. But it is not priced accordingly. I wouldn't recommend or stay again.

A Great Stay...

Absolutely loved our stay at The Queens Head Hotel! From the moment we stepped into the pub to the moment we checked out, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or attentive — they truly made us feel at home. The location is spot-on, right on the high street with loads of bars, restaurants, and shops just steps away.

Even though the hotel is connected to a lively pub, they close the back door after 9pm, so it’s perfectly peaceful in the rooms behind. We slept like babies! And the breakfast? Top-notch — delicious and satisfying.

If you’re looking for a warm, well-located place with fantastic service, I’d wholeheartedly recommend The Queens Head Hotel. Five stars all the way! 🌟

I was very impressed with the Queen's Head. Nice clean room in a great location in Higher Buxton. Housekeeping promptly every day. First-rate full English breakfast included.

My only complaint is that the room was rather small. There was no space to have an open suitcase, so I had to stuff it in a closet. That was a little inconvenient. Of course, I realize there is nothing they can do about that. It is an old building, and the room size is what it is.

Superb accommodation. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Great shower. Perfect location10 minutes stroll to town and 30 mins walk to the brewery. Best thing about this place though is the staff - amazing - really friendly, helpful and kind. Great pub serving Jaipur, which is my favourite beer. Didn't take the opportunity to enjoy the live music as we were there for rest but we would take it up next time we stay. Btw don't be put off by late night music. The rooms are very very quiet. Window open all night and no noise from the street either
Thank you to everyone who made our stay incredible. And thank you to Ian for the drinks. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Buxton.

Friendly, comfortable and clean accommodation.

The room was in an annexe at the rear of the pub. It had tea and coffee making facilities, large TV, storage and double bed.
The room was clean and comfortable. The en suite shower room was modern and clean. The shower was good with plenty of room to move around. Complimentary shower gel and shampoo was also provided. I was particularly pleased that the toilet was quite high as I have a bad leg and often find it difficult to get off low toilet seats.
Staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfast was very good with a selection of cereal, fruit juice, full English and plenty of toast. Extra toast was offered if you wanted it.
There was a band on in the bar on Saturday night and it was very busy but you couldn't hear a thing in your room. Very well sound proofed.
Having said that there was a very loud rumbling noise every so often that seemed to be under the room. I'm not sure what it was but I could only guess it was some roller shutters or gates opening and closing in the yard. Perhaps a warning about this might be a good idea. It made jump the first time I heard it.
All in all an enjoyable stay in a clean, friendly hotel.

An excellent place to stay for a couple of nights

Easy check-in and friendly staff showing me to my room and instructing me to let him know if there was anything I required during my stay. Room, which is separate to the main pub, was adequate in size and facilities with a very good shower in the bathroom. The hotel is close to the market square where there is a good choice of restaurants, shops and cafes, and it's easy to find breakfast if you decide not to have it in the hotel. It's also only a short 10-15 minute walk to the lower town with all the spa facilities and attractive buildings, although lookout for extortionate tourist prices around there!

Lovely shower room.
Breakfast is served in the pub in the morning. The full English was tasty and came with toast too.

Only downside was breakfast was served in the Pub, which smelt like a Pub, however the England game was on the night before, i won't mark it down though as the isa lovely cafe just across the road.

I liked that the accommodation was in a fairly new, I would say, building at the back of the pub’s yard. It was very modern and clean and I was very comfortable. Great bed!
I was just a little disappointed that breakfast was only full English or parts of but the pub is close enough to cafes where I could find what I wanted. The staff were really lovely and responded so well to my extra requests.

Comfortable hotel

This is a pub with 12 rooms behind it in another building. A courtyard separates them. My room was of modest size and very clean. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. It has no parking lot; you have to pay in a public parking nearby. If you don’t want to move your car, there are two good pubs across the street for dinner. They offer a full English breakfast cooked individually, and you can have more or less of the individual items in it. There is no phone in the room. If you have a question, use your cell phone to reach the front desk.

Hotel is right in the heart of Buxton, a convenient walk from the station. It was absolutely buzzing the whole time we were there - bands both nights, live sport in the day, but with the rooms being in a separate building out the back of the pub, it was amazingly quiet after the yard had been emptied. Clean throughout, staff were friendly.

Quality accommodation

My second stay here and again cannot fault anything.
Spotless, fresh smelling comfortable room.
Had everything we needed.
(Apparently they do a great breakfast but we didn't partake )
Would I stay again? Absolutely.

Clean, functional accommodation. Well situated in Buxton for lots of restaurants etc. Plenty of hot water & very cosy. We enjoyed our stay, although the mattress was a bit too firm for our liking.
Bar staff were friendly and helpful when checking in.

Fantastic!

Cozy pub hotel with great amenities and awesome location for Buxton!
We stayed overnight at the queen's head and couldn't be happier with the room we got. It It was cozy although the mattress was a little soft for my taste, still slept like a log! Really central location for Buxton and was not far from the theater.

Friendly pub/hotel with great rooms

Don’t let the front deceive you - the rooms at the back of the pub in a separate annex building are excellent. The owner was really accommodating and let us store our bikes in his secure lockup which was great .
We loved the lively pub and the breakfast was just what we needed .
The whole place looks like it’s going through a renovation programme and they are doing a brilliant job
Great service

Relaxing stay

Though the bar was very busy with customers (football match was on tv), Tom offered to carry our bags up to our room, which i was very grateful for. Our room was at the back of the hotel, appeared freshly decorated and fitted out, clean and modern. There was a live band on one of the nights and though the hotel was very busy and noisy, this did not travel to our room. We didn't have breakfast so cannot comment on this. Can recommend this hotel as a lovely central base for exploring Buxton.

My room had a private entrance and was really nice - except it had very little storage - just one deep closet with a shelf and a hanger bar, plus another shelf over the staircase. I managed to make it work, and then didn't worry about it any more. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were very good. Thanks!

Small room, lovely staff, good location

Nice room, a bit small but clean and cosy. Steep stairs up to the room wouldn’t be suitable for everyone. Bed was comfy enough. Despite being right next to the pub, the room was quiet and I wasn’t disturbed at all. Good location. Staff were friendly and keen to help.

Great place right in the centre

My room was separate from the pub just out the back which was good for quietness, not that it was loud anyway. A very clean and modern room with sky tv. The staff were very friendly and helpful but left you to it. Breakfast was spot on too with cereal and a full English on offer. No parking available on site but there is a car park literally 30 seconds away. The hotel is perfectly located too, with the town centre 5 min walk away. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Gem of a place. Staff are amazing

Extremely well run pub with entertainment thurs, fri and sat. Behind pub is courtyard with rooms. Really quiet, spotless and modern. Breakfast delicious and staff so accommodating. Made to feel like a local here, so welcome. Short walk from centre but lots of other pubs snd restaurants in immediate vicinity including a great Indian opposite the Taj Mahal. Will definitely be returning

The Queens Head - Buxton

Great pub stay. The room was in an annexe just off the beer garden at the back. It was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. It was warm, quiet (stayed a Tues night) and the room was in excellent condition. Parking was off-site but there were a couple of paid nearby car parks. Its in an excellent location to walk down to the Buxton Opera House.

No onsight parking lets this location down badly. We had to park in a location away from the hotel and pay for the privilege. The pub itself wasn't very inviting as it desperately needs a makeover. The room we stayed in made up for those shortcomings. It was very clean and comfortable.

Excellent one night business stay. The rooms are separate from the pub building, behind the beer garden, and there was zero noise from the pub. Room had everything I wanted: very clean, comfy bed, good shower, good kettle. I would stay here again during the week, but I would make sure it wasn't a gig night as that might be a bit noisy. There might also be a bit more noise during summer if people are in the beer garden.

Parking Ticket

Room was very nice. 1st night, bath plug wouldn't stay in, reported it next morning, but when I got back for my second and last night it hadn't been fixed, so no bath again.
Carpark closed 1st night for market, in the dark had to find a side street, next morning had a parking ticket. I'm 75 years old, drove 250 miles on my own and didnt feel very welcome in Buxton, I would have liked to come back.
Staff at the Queens head were lovely.

Comfortable and cool stay

Hi our stay was just for a night in the heat wave our room was clean, comfortable and most important it was lovely and cool and stayed consistently like that all through the night. My wife appreciated that they had also put a fan in the room as well. The breakfast was good too. Plus the staff were very helpful and pleasant.
