Even though there was a big party of people eating in the restaurant, the staff served our evening meal very quickly in the bar. The bar was busy but the bar staff were honestly the most efficient and friendly I have ever encountered. I generally don't do reviews but I feel that The Turks Head staff warrant a really good one! We had a dog with us and the whole place was dog friendly. There is a massive beer garden out the back. Its' very convenient for a vist to Cragside House which we really enjoyed.

There was a lot of signage relating to not letting dogs on seats "even if it's on your coat" but we had our dog on a coat and nobody told us off. There was another couple doing the same. Nobody said anything to them either.

Room was airy and tastefully decorated and an amazing added bonus was having a room with a separate sitting room- brilliant! We ate in the evening and the food was delicious - husband had a burger which was beautiful presented and he thoroughly enjoyed it and the onion rings and chips. I had mince beef and dumplings with chips and seasonal vegetables- I can honestly say I have never enjoyed a tastier meal in my many years of eating in numerous establishments.....delicious! We then enjoyed a drink and a game of cribbage in the bar area and found the atmosphere to.be warm and friendly. Breakfast didn't disappoint.....kept us going all day which we needed as we dpent the day at Cragside!Wish we didn't live 300 miles away....would love this to.be our 'local' but we hope to return next year....thank you to everyone at the Turks Head

Nothing we disliked

Very enjoyable tasty breakfast attentive staff, the room we had our breakfast was decorated lovely it really matched the period of the building.The hotel was decorated very well I should imagine its not easy with older property. We would stay again we wanted a base to visit Craggside and we were not dissapointed

We were intending to eat at the hotel however they were extra busy so we went to the hotel about 100yds away which was awful. However that was not the turks head fault when we go again to Rothbury we will have to book a table before we get there, the food did look great

Fantastic value for money. We did a 7 night walking trip around Northumberland and this place was by far the best for what you got for price. We booked a triple room as that was what was left. It turned out to be a decent size double bedroom plus a large lounge with a sofa bed in it. So essentially a suite. The food at the pub is also very good and nicely cooked, as was the breakfast.

Nothing. Was all good

Location was spot on, right in the middle of the town. We were travelling on bicycles, staff were able to provide us with secure storage. Room was great - clean, comfortable, with large bathroom. Great breakfast, with nice views from the dining room. We has asked for twin beds for me and my friend, but it was a double bed when we arrived, much to the amusement of our other friends. Helpful staff were able to convert to twin beds, no problem!

Love this pub, the locals and staff are extremely friendly.

The only thing that would have helped would be a guide on how to use the heater in the room, as it was cold when we first went in the room. The batteries for the TV remote were flat too, which was no big deal, but just so you know for the next guests. Other than that the room is beautiful, and has everything you could possibly need.

A real friendly place. The staff were very pleasant and polite. The evening meal and breakfast were superb. The bedroom and bathroom were massive. A very comfy bed and a great shower. Would definitely stay there again.

Nothing.

We had a comfortable nights stay in the garden room at the Turks Head. The kingsize bed in the bedroom was excellent and garden room is a great space and very reasonably priced. The breakfast was very nice with a good choice of cooked breakfast options. Staff very friendly and on the whole a nice visit.

My daughters slept in the living room area. The sofa bed wasn't very comfortable at all so we decided to use an airbed we had brought with us rather than risk them sleeping badly. Would recommend they upgrading the sofa bed as it seems old, difficult to assemble and mattress very thin.

Convenient as a base for touring West Northumberland. Room was very clean, with a huge bathroom. The included breakfast was varied, generous and tasty. We ate in one evening and menu had plenty of choice and the service was excellent. The property has lots of character with a homely feel.

Not much to dislike, although the room decor was a little tired with a creaky floor, in line with the age of the property.

Loved the space in room, fab big comfy bed,& food was excellent. So taff are 15/10. Its a great place to eat at, stay up and feel welcomed into the community. All good freshly prepared to order.

While shower water was hot enough, I'd have preferred stronger water pressure. There was sufficient to do the job..
