Guest Reviews
- Jane (9/5): Great accommodation & breakfast - Great location, very comfortable accommodation, great Staff, able to park out front, excellent breakfast & evening meal + his Knibbs loved his beer! We would stay again when we are next in the area. Nothing
- Julie (10/5): Excellent - Lovely staff and room
- William (10/5): -
- ADRIAN (8/5): - Staff great. Very friendly. Meals were exceptional Bedroom was pretty basic but OK
- Craig (10/5): Great stop on bike tour - Great bike storage, nice food , friendly staff. Great stop on cycling tour All good
- Jane (7/5): Comfortable stay in a beautiful village - Location is great and the team were friendly. The room was a good size with a separate seating area. The rooms were a bit dark with only skylights. TV reception was poor. Food was ordinary.
- Sophie (8/5): Nice comfortable inn with good food . - Great location, large room , clean and with comfortable beds. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast . The bathroom was small , sink was tiny .
- Oliver (9/5): - Lovely place and very welcoming
- Katrina (9/5): Great stay, comfortable room - Great location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast. Bathroom could do with a touch up of paint
- Ella (8/5): Comfortable and clean - The staff were all super friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was also very accomodating of my awkard dietary requirements. There were a few more minor things which could be improved and I was suprised that this was classed as a 4-star hotel. There was a lot of noise from the plumbing, including when guests in other rooms used their taps, which was disruptive during the night, and the room was a bit tatty in places. Although there was a made-to-order breakfast menu, I would appreciate some fresh fruit and perhaps yogurt options at breakfast. It was a bit limitted if you don't want basic cereal or an English cooked breakfast.
- John (10/5): - Best steak and Guinness pie ever!
- Susan (8/5): Really good - The breakfast was really nice. All the staff very friendly and helpful
- Rosanne (8/5): Great hotel in a great location - Great breakfast and friendly staff. We stayed in the Garden room, and enjoyed having the living space as well as a bedroom. Great value for money
- Lesley (9/5): - Convenient location, nice room, friendly staff.
- Jeremy (10/5): Great place easy to find little gem - Everything clean warm plentiful food staff brilliant Nothing
- Anthony (8/5): - I liked how friendly the staff were and made us a packed lunch as we left before breakfast Music to loud in bar below my room until 11pm. The lady the next day did apologise
- Janet (9/5): Welcoming staff - Welcoming staff. Great pub food. Lovely breakfast Difficulty using bedroom key but told previous guests had left without returning keys so these were a replacement
- Claire (6/5): It a perfectly reasonable place to stay if you are looking for comfort after a hard days walking. - The breakfast was good and staff were friendly The pub was busy and loud, so if you want quiet it isn't ideal.
- Jeremy (8/5): Nice place to stay for a short break - Fantastic breakfast with locally sourced meat. Spacious room above the bar looking over the Main Street. Clean. This is a lively pub with some accommodation rather than a hotel with a bar. You have to walk right into the bar to checkin which was quite busy and loud and a bit intimidating for the kids.
- Ken (10/5): Will definitely stay again - Have stayed before excellent location
- Adrian (9/5): Great hotel - Great staff and great food. The bathroom was a bit dated but in general the room was superb and very clean. Bathroom needs an upgrade but still ok. Door straight into the beer garden might be a bit lively in summer
- Karen (8/5): Spacious Room, Friendly Staff, Delicious Meals - The location is excellent, we visited Banburgh Castle and Craigside House & Gardens, we also did a little shopping locally. The Turks Head staff are very friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, the food was so good that we only ate here. Nothing not to like at the Turks Head, good food, staff and rooms.
- Shan (9/5): Lovely staff and great food. - Welcoming, clean and warm.
- Taylor (10/5): Excellent stay - A perfect stay with lovely staff, a beautiful room and fabulous food. Highly recommended.
- Estelle (8/5): -
- nigel (8/5): -
- Kelly (3/5): Wouldn’t return - definitely not suitable for a family - The breakfast and friendly staff The noise - beer garden not cleared after closing so high noise levels still at 1 in the morning. Sofa bed wasn’t a sofa bed it was a click clack style sofa - very uncomfortable and only suitable for someone around d 4ft tall.
- Ashley (9/5): -
- Faith (8/5): -
- Rob (8/5): -
- Joshua (10/5): - Great spot. Good food, warm and cosy pub and a lovely room. Would stay again.

- Taws (8/5): For pub lovers with a dog - ideal stay. - Breakfast very good. Very dog friendly indeed. Loads of atmosphere - lively at night. Brilliant position for visiting Rothbury and walking dog by river. Nothing.
- Michael (10/5): Enjoyable - Breckie was sound, staf very helpful, good warm feel about the pub in general The folding bed was a pain to pull out, but easy to get back in
- Lily (8/5): Affordable and comfortable option for a short family stay - Comfortable beds, very clean room and bathroom, spacious room. Even though it was above the main pub space (we were warned) it was quiet enough, you could hear the noise but only as a gentle unobtrusive hubbub. Nice view out onto the high street. Easy to come in and out with no hassle, once checked in we could just walk through the pub and up the stairs. Breakfast was nice. all fine
- Andrew (7/5): Great staff lovely location clean and tidy. - Staff were great. Breakfast was excellent. Booked for four people but only three beds one being a pull out sofa bed. It was so uncomfortable and not ideal. Needs to be a double bed in that room. Also the music in the bar was very loud and went on till 12 o'clock. I get that it's a busy bar but needs to be turned down before 12.
- Richard (10/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Nice and clean with friendly staff and friendly locals. Serves great food in a great location. Value for money defo ret - Great food, especially breakfast with friendly staff Room a bit cold but to be fair it was below zero outside,and comfortable warm quilt sharp warmed us up

- John (10/5): Suited my needs in the area. - Everything Breakfast coffee could have been hotter and stronger.
- Ian (9/5): Traditional inn, efficiently run with sound food and friendly staff. - Friendly staff providing clean, welll-equiped facilities Pleasant food and drinks. Good location in middle of the town. Service finished at 9.00 pm and we had forgotten about that. That was not a problem.

- LENNY (10/5): -
- John (8/5): A Lovely Northumbrian experience. - Great breakfast, plenty of choice for all dietary requirements. Room 6 has a fabulous separate lounge . Being above the popular bar means that you can hear the buzz through the evening but totally expected so wasnt a problem for us.
- Anne (9/5): Enjoyable and relaxing - Friendly knowledgeable staff. Food excellent especially the chicken curry. Town itself is quiet, plenty of nearby on road free parking. Slightly noisy in the evening but its a pub so was expected.

- Heather (10/5): - Big room, great staff
- Lynn (8/5): Great place to stay in Rothbury - Room was spacious and well decorated and very comfortable- great location and friendly welcome. Rothbury is a great town and area to visit. Room was a bit noisy at night as over the bar which got busy and noisy with jukebox box playing though the music stopped about 10.30/11pm. Breakfast was very good one morning and not very good another and slow that day - perhaps there was an issue as it was very good the next day. More cereal/fruit choices would b good.

- Claire (5/5): Ok basic accommodation food was good in restaurant ok for one night glad didn’t have to spend another night in the room - Proximity to cragside Put in an annexe room that was noisy right next to kitchens and a very noisy couple arguing and stomping around above us , room had a gloomy feel to it and was spiders and cobwebs everywhere.

- Laura (10/5): Fresh clean bedding, food amazing - Breakfast was lovely, we also had tea, beef was amazing! Fresh white bedding,, big rooms, bed was super comfy. Hair dryer in the bathroom would be ideal and coffee & bickis in the room for the morning would be a bonus
- John (8/5): -
- John (8/5): Very friendly and comfortable - It was very friendly, the food was very good and the atmosphere was relaxed. The room (suite) was fine for our needs and the bed was very comfy. I guess, if we had been staying more than 2 nights, i would say the bathroom was very cramped and had no surfaces to put stuff on and the sink was no good for having a wash in as it was tiny. But we were only there a couple of nights and it was fine.
