All in all, it was definitely a 10++ star experience! We stayed 7 nights with our two well-behaved dogs. The inn is very pleasant accomodation in beautiful countryside. Our room was atmospheric with a huge rustic fireplace feature (not in use) in a tasteful country style. The view was beautiful from the window, and the window opened well for airing. Private and quiet. Plenty of miscellaneous coffee/tea etc. Good WiFi everywhere. Excellent kitchen! Great selection of dinner dishes, delicious seasoning and enormous portions! The included breakfast keeps you going for the day. Fine bar with good selection of beverages on tap. The staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable. It was just wonderful!

The power shower, though it works well, is rather noisy when in use. Other than this, it's a surprisingly quiet accomodation considering all the hustle and bustle in the restaurant and pub downstairs. We didn't hear any of it in our room.

Location to surrounding areas was perfect. Beautiful ride over to Alnwick and Chillingham Castle. Food was exceptional, hot food on hot plates and more than enough. Breakfast particularly was lovely. Everyone connected to Wheat Heads were friendly, courteous and very helpful...

Despite the exceptional cleanliness I was aware of a doggy smell in our bedroom, opening a window and a little febreze soon rectified the problem. We had not noticed if the pub was dog friendly when we booked but this wouldn't have made any difference to our desicion, we were more than happy with accomodation.

The Three Wheat Heads was an excellent location, with Cragside nearby and Rothbury. Our room (for a 3-night stay) was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and spacious( we had twin beds in a family room also containing a large double bed). It was lovely to have a bath as well as a separate shower. Breakfast was great—loads of choices, including options for vegetarians. Everything was cooked to order ( if opting for a cooked breakfast) using locally sourced produce. The bacon was particularly tasty. One of the main reasons we selected this inn was for the food. We had eaten there previously whilst staying in Elsdon. The menu was extensive and varied, and the food fabulous. We even ordered a selection of starters one night to create a tapas feast. And let's not forget the staff who were friendly, engaging, helpful and consistently good-humoured over a busy Easter weekend. We will be back!

No issues.

The Three Wheat Heads is a proper village inn, with friendly locals and staff, superb views over beautiful countryside and located minutes from an easy quick walk along the River Coquet. The food is very good, there’s an excellent range of breakfast choices to set you up for the day. We really enjoyed our evening meals too, the menu options cover all tastes. Our room had a lovely view and a comfortable king size bed. The electric shower was spacious, warm, efficient - everything in the ensuite looked brand new. The supplied linen and towels were good quality and even included a face flannel. Small things, but there is a sense of attention to detail here.

The pub bar sofas are a bit dog-eared. Probably because they’ve been well used by many locals and visitors. They are still comfortable to relax in after a days walking and touring.

Nicely located in the middle of a quiet picturesque village, so very easy access. It's a fairly large property giving lot of dining space and a separate pub area to enjoy. Decor is well fitting. There is ample free parking just in front of the property. Room was well organised, clean and warm with central heating on. Staff were very welcoming, courteous and helpful.Seems they wanted you to "be happy" there. We had dinner at night, minted lamb was nicely cooked and portion size pretty sumptuous. Sam was serving us, kept coming to ensure we got all we wanted. Next morning's breakfast was even better with choice (Kipper and all the rest of full english). Surrounding area has great riverside walk just behind this property. Overall a great team of George is fantastic!

Having few cocktails available in bar would have been better

Fabulous food with a large menu choice. Reasonable prices too. The room was warm and comfortable with a comfy bed. Great view of Simon side too.Gail the owner was lovely and friendly and James the head barman was very helpful and chatty.It is an old building with bags of character which could be improved with just a couple of changes. Updating the seating in the bar area and a change of carpet in the restaurant would look fantastic.Breakfast was plentiful and varied. A Nespresso machine would be great for coffee choices.Sunday roasts were extra special.Great choice of meats and plenty of fresh vegetables and the Lamb Kleftico was amazing!😋 Thanks for making our stay special. We would definitely recommend and return.

Our shower was a bit noisy but Gail said this was going to be replaced soon. Not a fan of Jack Rabbit wine so more wine choices would be good.

The family room was more than big enough, a very comfortable size. Two single beds and a double. Lovely little views on the nighttime when the village was lit up with Christmas lights and the little church that was lit inside. The bathroom was large, everything you needed was there, it was practical, had a separate bath and shower. A hairdryer was in the room in the dressing table draw. A stand height fan was available. Beautiful mattresses, plenty of pillows and extra throws available in the wardrobe, if needed. We had fab sleeps. Each bed had their own set of complimentary toiletries set out with a choice of towels. The largest towel was a bath sheet which isn't always the case but this was well thought out and much appreciated. We only had breakfast and it was fantastic. There was an extensive selection. They were very happy to adjust items where possible. The ingredients were of high quality, not the cheaper end and the plate of good reflected this. We only saw one member of staff with it being Christmas but she was great, couldn't do more to help. The chef produced a great breakfast to start the day. The establishment is dog friendly, so rooms were fine to keep dogs in. There's 2 sides to the pub, one dog friendly and one not. The one that dogs can't go in has the most spectacular views and you can access them if you do have dogs by a side gate. Overall, would certainly recommend.

(If there was one tiny thing I'd change and that is a plumper duvet on the double bed.)

We stayed mid week 25-27 September 2024. Exceptional value for money. Double room (we stayed in Room3) was much bigger than your standard double room with two chairs, wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables and a large toilet/shower room. Window overlooked the enclosed beer garden to the rear which was ideal for letting our Lab run off her led without fear of the road. Meals were exceptional and reasonably priced with substantial portions. ( I actually had a starter with a portion of hand cut chips as my main as I am not a big eater.) Hubby had the roast dinner and we both had dessert, a few drinks and total cost was less than £50 ! Very reasonable. Bar area had lovely leather chesterfield sofas for comfy drinkers and table for diners and with no TV's was lovely and relaxing. At the time of booking we didn't realise that cabin was in operation but the Landlady was kind enough to take me out and show me. Well equipped and heated with a decking area, table and chairs( sun loungers too cold and wet to use LOL) It has it's own separate access which means you can come and go without entering the bar area if you prefer. Will definitely stay again and book the cabin.

The wet weather! Not that anyone could have done anything to sort that but will definitely be back in better weather

Bedroom had everything we needed, plenty of tea coffee, quality biscuits and hot chocolate. Outstanding views across the hills. A floor standing fan was a nice extra in the very hot weather we had been experiencing. Friendly staff who made sure our 1 night stay was enjoyable. The restaurant provided an extensive menu cooked to perfection thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Would definitely recommend The Three Wheat Heads

A handle on the shower wall would have been beneficial to me as I suffer balance problems

Lovely big family room with two single beds for the children Most family rooms these days only offer bunk beds, but this room is so big it easily accommodates two single beds and a king-size bed which are very comfortable. Very spacious bathroom with a bath and a shower. Ample towels, face cloths and toiletries provided. The room was also spotless and had everything you needed. We used the restaurant, which was very good and there's plenty of options including vegetarian and vegan. The childrens menu is also very good and breakfast was of a high standard. Everyone was very helpful and James even helped carry our luggage. We never used the bar, but it seems very popular. There's ample parking and the location and views are fabulous. It's ideal for visiting Cragside, Northumberland etc.
