The Queens Head Hotel

Treated to a birthday weekend away in Rothbury, staying at the Queen’s Head. The staff were polite and friendly. The room was lovely and spacious. The breakfasts were yummy, and the evening food was delicious. We will definitely be returning!

Had a really enjoyable family meal here last Saturday night. The young lady that was serving us (sorry I didn’t catch your name) was so lovely, thank you for your fabulous service! We enjoyed a main meal each and of course had to have a dessert! The food was tremendous. A very enjoyable evening, we will definitely be returning here soon for food.

Warm welcome from friendly staff, comfy bed in a large, well appointed room. Walls and curtains needed a dusting though. Food ranged from delicious (evening mains and pud) to barely ok (breakfast, no tea, no welcome, longlife OJ, poorly cooked).

We visited the Queens to sample the new summer menu and was highly impressed. There's a really good selection to suit all tastes, the food was lovely and cooked perfectly. The service from the staff was fantastic, they couldn't do enough for you. On top of all this, the midweek offer is great value for money, highly recommended.

Tonight we went for a meal at the Queen's with our two friends and their two children. The food was absolutely delicious with our steaks cooked perfectly. We had three courses each and plenty to drink. The service was great and felt warmly welcomed by Jordan and Catherine. We're already planning a return visit :) Thank you so much!

We arrived on the Tuesday afternoon and check in was confusing. After standing around for 5 minutes my husband found a member of staff who showed us our room, handed us our keys, told us basic breakfast instructions and hurridly left. The hotel looks like it is in the process of being done up a little, shame our room had flaky paint, loose door handle and bathroom door dragged on the carpet, wallpaper coming off. Clean, comfortable bed, but very dusty room, curtains, wall and ceiling light all covered in dust which aggravated my husband's asthma. The cleaner needs to get into the nooks and crannys. The bathroom was dusty around the radiator and bath edges and skirting boards dirty. The hotel is literally burning money with the heating,ALL RADIATORS in the hotel are on 24 hours a day and it is so hot. Our radiator could not be regulated so 5 was as hot as 1 so in the end we just turned it off. Only one of the windows could be opened. Breakfast room had small fridge with fresh juice/milk etc which as there was only an hour window for breakfast could be out on the sides in jugs. Alot of the guests were elderly so would be easier for them. The breakfast itself was lovely with good fresh food and choice of menu and the young girl serving, very polite. Brick dust on skirting board in breakfast room for duration of our stay, again, dust a problem! Did not eat here in the evening so cannot comment on food but bar area modernised and looks lovely. Plenty of car parking space at rear. Unfortunately for us, will not return due to the heating and cleaning issues but the hotel is in a prime location and has plenty of potential.
