At Turks Head Rothbury, travellers highlight spacious, comfortable rooms and a welcoming pub atmosphere with friendly staff, praised breakfasts and solid pub meals, a central village location handy for Cragside, and convenient free parking right outside for an easy stay.
Rooms are often large and comfortable, though a few mention cramped bathrooms or a tired feel in places. Noise from the bar, music, or beer garden reaches some rooms at night. There are also a couple of reports of poor service, including a rude manager. Overall, expect a traditional pub with rooms experience.

The room was spacious, well presented and clean. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Overall a friendly and nice place to stay with some character and charm to it. It was nice to see an old fashioned open coal/wood burning fireplace in use,even some of the regulars there kept it topped up,not just the staff. The breakfasts were lovely.

We had a really excellent 5 day stay. Our room (3) was huge with 2 kingsize beds and a large sofa. Bathroom was also a good size. The breakfast was good with excellent friendly, prompt service. A really good location for visiting the area and not too busy. Parking was never a problem. It would have been useful to have some plug-in bed side lights rather than battery operated nightlights. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would definitely stay here again. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which enhanced our stay.

Firstly the good bits: lots of free parking right outside the door, friendly and efficient staff and the room was clean. Sadly the outside area wasn’t so attractive and the beds need replacing. So uncomfortable. We were right next to the kitchen and beer garden so it was a bit noisy while the pub was open. The food was very traditional and of an acceptable standard and reasonably priced. A nice little village for a wander and very handy for Cragside.

We stayed here to explore the local area - particularly Cragside. We learned that the area has so much to offer - so will definitely be back! Our room was roomy and well equipped. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We didn't eat here (except for the excellent breakfast) but the food looked good and the bar had a nice vibe. Beers are good! Easy and free parking right outside

Lovely stay, the room we stayed in was a bit tired looking, however it was clean and bed was very comfortable. The lovely staff were just pleasant and helpful. The breakfast, (included in the price) was huge and tasty. I really liked the fact that they offered a packed lunch as an alternative to the breakfast. The village of Rothbury was beautiful.

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.

The room was spacious, well presented and clean. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Overall a friendly and nice place to stay with some character and charm to it. It was nice to see an old fashioned open coal/wood burning fireplace in use,even some of the regulars there kept it topped up,not just the staff. The breakfasts were lovely.

We liked Rothbury but the Turks head left a lot to be desired Breakfast was poor and didn’t have the correct utensils or dishes The coffee was cold and we had to ask for a pot of tea Bed was comfortable but the rooms were dreary and could do with some tlc and a good all round clean

Firstly the good bits: lots of free parking right outside the door, friendly and efficient staff and the room was clean. Sadly the outside area wasn’t so attractive and the beds need replacing. So uncomfortable. We were right next to the kitchen and beer garden so it was a bit noisy while the pub was open. The food was very traditional and of an acceptable standard and reasonably priced. A nice little village for a wander and very handy for Cragside.

We stayed here to explore the local area - particularly Cragside. We learned that the area has so much to offer - so will definitely be back! Our room was roomy and well equipped. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We didn't eat here (except for the excellent breakfast) but the food looked good and the bar had a nice vibe. Beers are good! Easy and free parking right outside

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.

I stayed in the dog friendly room which was ok but not great. The carpets were stained and when we first walked in the room we could smell dog it wasn't a fresh smell. There was a half used toilet roll in our bathroom and no fan so it steamed up quite quickly. The room was at the bottom of the beer garden so was very noisy which wasn't that much of a problem. We ordered food it was very fast and efficient, large portions and reasonably priced. The sun was in the beer garden all day. Staff very helpful and a nice service. When we took our cockapoo with us for breakfast the next day we waited at the bar not expecting to be allowed into the restaurant with our pooch but the lady welcomed us in saying its all dog friendly in our pub. We walked into the restaurant a two snobby couples starred at us when we walked in with our dog. DOG FRIENDLY ! If you don't like it don't come to a dog friendly place. The lady was lovely and took our order very quickly. The food was very nice. Another lady even brought my very well behaved dog who sat under my chair a bowl of beef. Thank you so much to the Turks Head for your hospitality.
