Abysmal. No Sunday dinner on a Sunday and sold out of anything resembling a Sunday dinner. Poor staff left to explain for shocking ordering on the kitchen staff's part. Painfully overpriced for what is on offer. Lots of other lovely places to eat in Rothbury. Try them first!

Super stay at the hotel. Great evening meal. Great breakfast. Nice pint of ale and great service. Would have given it 5 but person on duty when we arrived was a bit curt.

Such a disappointment. I had booked for a 3pm (I actually arrived early) Sunday lunch (as per website) making sure I was well inside the cut off time of 5pm for food. On arrival I was told they had no booking (not that it mattered as there were plenty of tables) Then I was told there were no roasts and a number of other items were off the menu too. I decided to stay and ate a very mediocre scampi and chips. Whilst I was there, a family came in to eat only to be told they stopped serving food at 3pm - not according to your website though! My waitress was The Queens Head?s saving grace, she was polite and helpful. I am on holiday in the area and was looking forward to that Sunday roast as advertised. A shame you got it wrong this time.

Stayed here for two nights 23rd&24th June and thoroughly enjoyed it , good food , lovely comfortable beds , would definitely return but as we are getting on a bit would request a room on the lower floors, stairs were a bit taxing , but nice cosy inn with a bit of character right in the town centre and always a plus , ?ample parking !

Asked for a table of 2 at 6pm, most of the tables were empty. Was told by the lady at the bar that they're taking bookings only. Bookings were available online for 630, 645 and 7pm - booked a table for 2 at 630pm. Went back in and was told it still wasn't valid!? Shocking service. Clearly empty tables at the place. Not returning!

Lovely food, there was a lack of atmosphere, it was very quiet when we visited, maybe that explains it??

Had food here and it was great. Decent size portions, good value and the Steak and Ale pie was pie and not just a lid on top! Highlight was the dessert, I know it's hard to get sticky toffee pudding wrong but this was very nice. For a smallish place it had a good set of menu options, so it's worth going to if you are in the area.
