We arrived at the Queens Head on a Sunday afternoon in July whilst on a road trip of Northumberland. Upon checking-in we did not receive the warmest of greetings and was just shown to our room without much information interchange. The hotel is quite a big building with plenty of parking at the rear. Unfortunately, it looked a bit tired throughout. However, our room (room 6, two doubles on the top floor) was very nice, cosy and modern looking and well decorated. We did have a very good night’s sleep there. The bedroom and bathroom windows could not be adjusted as the stays were broken, so we had to have them wide open, which was not a problem. Breakfast turned out to be very basic and disappointing, especially if you didn’t want a full English, and we could have done with fresh fruit and a better variety of yoghurts. Rothbury and area are a very interesting area and worth exploring if you are staying longer. Very close and convenient for Cragside which was our next destination.
