What guests think
Across the reviews, The Nags Head stands out for its warm, personal hospitality—especially from Alice—and for having an on site Cantonese restaurant, alongside generally clean, comfortable rooms and convenient parking.
Several note the accommodation is dated and could use some TLC, with occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues such as worn towels, stained carpets, or a mattress needing replacement. Breakfast is often enjoyed, though a few found it greasy or limited until asked, while the Cantonese dinners receive consistent praise. The location is quiet and convenient for the A1 and exploring North Yorkshire, though it can feel a little out of the way. Expect friendly service, tasty evening meals, and simple, comfortable lodgings.

Found this place and wasn't sure what to expect but had a wonderful stay and will be staying again every time in the area. The hotel has a Chinese restaurant sa well as a traditional pub. The food was amazing and Irecommend everyone to try the taster menu (2 main taters for £17.50). Staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

The family room was generous . It was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food served is Cantonese and was delicious. The pub area was separate to the restaurant area, which made it relaxing and enjoyable. The pub area is friendly and not rowdy. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Free parking behind hotel. Peaceful, comfortable and would definitely stay here again. Cooked English breakfast was delicious!

Good car parking and owners very flexible and accommodating. Rooms are very dated and clean but not spotless. Breakfast was poor. No fruit juices or cereal until we asked for it. Cooked breakfast served on cold plates and served as soon as you sat down, so not exactly fresh cooked. Just meat and eggs, no tomatoes or mushrooms.

This was perfect for a one night stay. At £78 per night I guess that’s a mid price range for pub accommodation. It was a lovely spacious, clean room. My only criticism would be that the whole accommodation area would benefit from from some redecoration as it looked a little tired.

Late arrival and early out but was still welcomed by Alice the owner. Breakfast was offered and even provided at an earlier time than normally given, for which I was very grateful. A great cooked breakfast kicked off my morning and soon I was on my way. This was a perfect location to break up a long North to South journey. Very pleasant indeed. Sad that I missed out on what looked like a super Chinese dining experience for an evening meal! And just a few mins of the A1M

Good car parking and owners very flexible and accommodating. Rooms are very dated and clean but not spotless. Breakfast was poor. No fruit juices or cereal until we asked for it. Cooked breakfast served on cold plates and served as soon as you sat down, so not exactly fresh cooked. Just meat and eggs, no tomatoes or mushrooms.

We had an excellent stay at the Nags Head. Located on the edge of the Moors, Pickhill is a beautiful quiet village with excellent walks straight from the car park. Alice and her team were so friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable. Our evening meal (chinese food) was excellent as was the English breakfast. The locals in the bar were friendly which gave the place a great atmosphere. We will definately be back and highly recommend.

We had a couple of nights at the Nag's head. Alice, the proprietor, was very friendly and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was very generous, with gluten-free food available. Highly recommended.

Had a good stay, whilst stopping off on a road trip down south. Not the most comfortable bed, very soft, but the room and bathroom were adequate. Owner and staff were all friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful Chinese meal in the evening - would highly recommend, and the cooked breakfast was perfect, set me up for the day! Overall, a good experience and I would stay again.

Alice was fabulous and it was the best Cantonese meal ever in the restaurant, and the ambience of the place was wonderful, but the rooms could do with an overhaul, modernization, the room we had was too small for a double and the whole place looked a bit tired, but the staff made up for this and the breakfast and food in the restaurant was amazing. It is a bit remote, nothing to do locally without a car, and the nearest town was Thirsk which is a good 20 minutes in the car you cannot walk to it.
