Amazing night on new years eve, fantastic cabin absolutely spotless the bar was great with lovely staff and the best chips we have ever tasted looked after us fantastic we will be back
Very friendly pub, with simple but comfortable and well-equipped rooms and really excellent food, both at dinner and breakfast. Lovely smiley, welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend.
We had a nice stay, on arrival taken straight to our room by a very nice young man who helped with our bags, the room was nice with a lovely outlook. Overall every where clean good food and very nice staff.
Lovely stay. Food was excellent, both in the evening and at breakfast. The full english was very plentiful.
We had a family room and it did get very hot however. We turned the heating off completely but it was switched back on again when we went out for the day. On a freezing cold day this will be very welcoming but the temperature was very mild for the time of year so we didn't need the heating!

Friendly staff and superb location
Great little inn in the heart of the beautiful Northumberland landscape. The owners and staff were ever so friendly and helpful, and the food was amazing! Rooms could do with a bit of a refurb but the owners have only just taken over the property and are planning to modernise very soon. Everything worked though, and we had a very comfortable stay. The view from the room was also to die for!
Lovely setting in quiet village. Lovely owners, great set of staff who do their utmost to ensure yourbest possible stay. Excellent food with great choice. Only downside was rooms a little dated. On saying that everything worked and without doubt clean. Would definitely stay again
What a gem of a place. We stayed in a family room and enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Fantastic views from no the beer garden at the rear of the hotel and the food is amazing and well priced. Very friendly staff and a great location to explore Northumbria
New Year’s Eve stay. Lovely room lovely food lovely staff lovely views only trouble was I was full of flu not lovely. Will definitely return to take full advantage of the area
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and evening meals were really good and not expensive. There are some excellent walks straight from the the hotel and beautiful views over the garden to the Simonside Hills beyond the river. Nothing much else in Thropton, but Rothbury (2 miles) is a nice market town with a great pub (Narrow Nick).
This was a very nice, old-style inn over the pub and restaurant. The restaurant and beer garden were charming. Dealing with the staff was simple and straightforward.
Lovely place to stay, the room was so cute and had a range of amenities. The view was lovely, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the food in the pub was great. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Excellent! We arrived very tired and the warmth of the bedroom was like a welcoming blanket. The room was spacious and comfortable with two chairs for looking out onto the beautiful countryside. There was an amazing choice on both the breakfast and evening menus and the food was first class. Hospitality could not have been better and we will definitely be returning. Many thanks
Bad choice for Business no phone signal
Paid too much for a night, food not brilliant, had to change room as smelled musky, TV size of a post stamp. Best thing about the place was the staff especially Vicky, another plus beautiful location idea for walkers.

What a view
Great food and very friendly staff. Room was good with a comfortable bed. The view out of the bedroom window was superb.
The only thing that let this hotel down was the dowdy room one wall was painted dark red and the carpet and bed coverings were in the same colour. The bulbs in the overhead light were not bright enough. Apart from that the bed, pillows and duvet (which was feather) were very comfortable.
Hotelcom & Three wheat heads contempt for customer
We arrived at the hotel to be met with signs saying that the restaurant would be closed. The hotel could have informed us of this before we booked (we phoned the hotel on saturday) or phoned us before we arrived at the hotel but instead they chose to treat us with complete contempt. I would have cancelled the stay if I had not need to be in Rothsbury that evening. Obviously if I had known that the restaurant was closed I would not have booked the hotel and booked an hotel elsewhere. The stunning view from the room overlooked solar panels. The missing kitchen staff seemed to be in the room next to ours (room 5 ) as we could smell their smoke and hear the sound of the DVD they were watching in preference to working in the restaurant. The room was hot but opening the window just exposed our room to the noise of the kitchen refridgerators units and air conditioning. Irony : Kitchen staff cannot work in hotel kitchen because they are too busy smoking and watching DVDs in the room next to customer. Irony: Customer denied catering facilities but has to endure sound of kitchen fridges and air conditioning. The Three Wheat Heads is the worst hotel that I have stayed in, and I have stayed in some very basic hotels in Morocco such as in Essouria and Erg Chebby
Excellent food both at dinner and breakfast. Very helpful staff who work very hard to make your meals enjoyable. Room was clean and our request for sheets and blankets instead of duvets had been addressed. Bathroom was clean and had all amenities. Wash basin slightly worn but perfectly usable. Location excellent for Cragside, Alnwick Castle and Gardens etc. Beautiful view at back of beer garden. Have been before and will be back again.
I spent a great 4 nights here. Staff were really helpful and friendly especially Jackie who served the breakfast. The room was lovely. Great shower and lots of hot water. Breakfast excellent. This is an absolutely great location and the rooms have a really stunning view. If I return to the area I would certainly stay at this hotel again.
Do not expect to find this pub anywhere in or near Morpeth! The website seems unable to map the countryside! It is in THROPTON, which is a couple of miles from the rural market town of Rothbury. Beautiful area on edge of National Park, and an exceedingly welcoming and good value hostelry.
Very nice room with well equipped bathroom (inc bath). Dog friendly as well! Great views across the valley. Very
friendly landlord, chef and staff. Excellent touring base.
The menu was large and varied and the food was excellent.

Enormous breakfasts, pleasant friendly staff. Very tired decor throughout, but you won't go hungry.
Stayed 2 nights. Lovely room with beautiful views. Booked for dinner on the Friday night. Delicious food and wine. Breakfasts were just the same. Friendly staff too.
Lovely position with great views. All the staff were super
Room very comfortable and beautifully looked after
Food very good with lots of choice. Nice to visit such a popular venue
For a family room the en-suite was not really suitable for anyone small as the shower was too high.
The wash basin was very small. The toilet was raised up and made it too high.

Expedia bad, hotel good
Dear Expedia, you ruined my stay by not responding when I contacted you several times about my having accidentally booked for two when I was only one guest, which cost me a lot of money.
