The Queens Head Rothbury is a hidden gem in Northumberland. The food is absolutely delicious and obviously created by and enthusiastic chef given the fabulous ever changing specials on offer. The waiting staff are very welcoming, accommodating and friendly and I will certainly be re-visiting time and time again.

We took pot luck as we were on a 7 day driving trip to see/stay with family and friends in Chesterfield ,Leeds and Morpeth, We fancied a couple of days on our own and my son suggested Rothbury as being just far enough off the beaten track. Looked a long way away to me. Anyway we duly phoned and booked... More

We should have known not to order looking at the filthy surroundings, shabby interior and waiters dirty clothes. However we were hungry so we ordered hot pork sandwiches which were greasy along with thick slabs of over cooked meat. Overall a bad experience. Payment was taking before the meal arrived and poor service.

Deciding on a weekend break, we saw the offer for The Queens Head in Rothbury & we were not disappointed. Set in the heart of the quiet Northumberland village, we arrived a little after 2pm. Showed to our room, the comfort and feel of the room made us feel welcome straight away. We had a wander around the village, later... More

Following a day out at Cragside we (myself,husband and 10 year old son) called at Rothbury looking for something to eat in the evening. The staff at the Queens Head were very welcoming and friendly and we all found something on the menu to suit. The surrounding were pleasant although some of the items in the dining room were a...

Choice of eating places in Rothbury is limited but this was an acceptable find. Very pleasant staff and very acceptable food.The battered fish was very good value from a choice of five /six mains.we did not stay in the hotel so cannot comment on the other hotel facilities.

Drove up to Northumberland without booking a place. Turned up at the Turks Head in Rothbury and as it was my Fiancee's birthday we fancied a few drinks but when asked about rooms they did not have any available but she had rang the Queens Head and they had rooms. Was really nice of her. Turned up at the Queens... More

This is the 2nd visit to the queens. Again the food was outstanding, the staff lovely and the atmosphere great. Our night away was spoilt due to the fact our neighbour in room 23 smoked in their non smoking room, which resulted in our room having a strong smoke smell all night! Not nice :(
