    A handle on the shower wall would have been beneficial to me as I suffer balance problems

    Bedroom had everything we needed, plenty of tea coffee, quality biscuits and hot chocolate. Outstanding views across the hills. A floor standing fan was a nice extra in the very hot weather we had been experiencing. Friendly staff who made sure our 1 night stay was enjoyable. The restaurant provided an extensive menu cooked to perfection thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Would definitely recommend The Three Wheat Heads

    The pub bar sofas are a bit dog-eared. Probably because they’ve been well used by many locals and visitors. They are still comfortable to relax in after a days walking and touring.

    The Three Wheat Heads is a proper village inn, with friendly locals and staff, superb views over beautiful countryside and located minutes from an easy quick walk along the River Coquet. The food is very good, there’s an excellent range of breakfast choices to set you up for the day. We really enjoyed our evening meals too, the menu options cover all tastes. Our room had a lovely view and a comfortable king size bed. The electric shower was spacious, warm, efficient - everything in the ensuite looked brand new. The supplied linen and towels were good quality and even included a face flannel. Small things, but there is a sense of attention to detail here.

    No issues.

    The Three Wheat Heads was an excellent location, with Cragside nearby and Rothbury. Our room (for a 3-night stay) was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and spacious( we had twin beds in a family room also containing a large double bed). It was lovely to have a bath as well as a separate shower. Breakfast was great—loads of choices, including options for vegetarians. Everything was cooked to order ( if opting for a cooked breakfast) using locally sourced produce. The bacon was particularly tasty. One of the main reasons we selected this inn was for the food. We had eaten there previously whilst staying in Elsdon. The menu was extensive and varied, and the food fabulous. We even ordered a selection of starters one night to create a tapas feast. And let's not forget the staff who were friendly, engaging, helpful and consistently good-humoured over a busy Easter weekend. We will be back!

    Having few cocktails available in bar would have been better

    Nicely located in the middle of a quiet picturesque village, so very easy access. It's a fairly large property giving lot of dining space and a separate pub area to enjoy. Decor is well fitting. There is ample free parking just in front of the property. Room was well organised, clean and warm with central heating on. Staff were very welcoming, courteous and helpful.Seems they wanted you to "be happy" there. We had dinner at night, minted lamb was nicely cooked and portion size pretty sumptuous. Sam was serving us, kept coming to ensure we got all we wanted. Next morning's breakfast was even better with choice (Kipper and all the rest of full english). Surrounding area has great riverside walk just behind this property. Overall a great team of George is fantastic!

    This is a 300 year old rural building which has been adapted to modern living. It is situated in the beautiful coquet valley with stunning views of the simonside hills . The rear of the building has seen better days. Don't expect frills but the overall product is a solid, value for money experience..

    Breakfast was substantial and very well cooiked. For me a delight to be offered fried bread! Dinner was exceptional. I had minted lamb and it was special.

    Food was a little overpriced. Good, but not brilliant.
