“My sister and her husband and I stayed here for 1 night on 25th August 2026 to attend our nieces wedding at Newton Hall. The accommodation was first class and the landlady was the perfect host. I would definitely recommend a stay here.”

“Beautiful well appointed rooms with bottled water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits provided. Friendly staff. No food served on site but excellent location on the market square of Alnwick with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops around. Parking at the back for 3 cars on quite a steep slope.”

“On a recent trip around the UK my wife and I stayed a night at Alnwick on our way to Edinburgh. We chose to stay at The Queens head Hotel and wasn't disappointed! The staff were very welcoming and friendly and seemed genuinely happy for us choosing to stay there. After a brief introduction with the lovely girl at the bar we parked our car out back and was escorted up to our room by one of the staff members. They were very proud of their establishment and were keen to inform us the rooms had been recently refurbished. We Stayed in the "Harry Hotspur" room which was very spacious with a super comfortable bed. After settling in and being late afternoon we took a walk around the beautiful town of Alnwick. On our return we headed to the bar few a few refreshments. Being from Australia and not familiar with the local beers we asked the bartender which beer she would recommend. She said "Cruzcampo"which was followed up with the approval of 4 patrons sitting at the bar... From then on Cruzcampo was our go to beer when ever it was on tap. I was particularly impressed with the "especially good VALUE" tags on the taps with the prices! If anyone from the Queens Head Hotel Alnwick happens to read my lengthy review, thank you for making us feel very welcome and your generous hospitality. If we ever spent 20+ hours again on a flight from Melbourne, Australia to the UK we'll be back!”

“Didn't visit this pub, but we did stay in an apartment across the road. This place was so incredibly loud with god awful karaoke until 1 every night. …”

“As beautiful as Alnwick is, was even our stay at Queen's Head Hotel. We got the Lady Jane Room and it was very pretty and cozy. We spend the night out for dinner and came back to the bar for a round of Pool and a drink. The later it got, the more people came in which is quiet nice to see that a location is so well visited. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back at our next visit.”
