Great place to stay off the main thoroughfare to explore Hadrian’s Wall. It is best to book a table for dinner as the food is excellent, The staff were super friendly and helpful.  A pretty village to walk around. Very comfortable room and good shower facilities. Would highly recommend for an overnight stay or perhaps two.

Gorgeous Place to Stay

We booked last minute whilst touring the area. The location in a quiet village by the river gave us a peaceful night’s rest in a lovely room overlooking the garden and river.

The food was the star of the stay. We had three courses from the menu and specials board. What a treat! Hearty yet presented with a touch that evinced a real skill by the chef.

Service throughout the stay was excellent.

Definitely worth including on your itinerary if you are touring the North Pennines.

Charming country inn with excellent food

We booked to  stay at the Elks Head inn after a day's racing at Hexham  . We found the accommodation food  and drinks to be excellent . The meals  at night and breakfast in the morning were freshly cooked and first class . All the staff were very friendly and helpful this was a 5 star experience and when we are back racing at Hexham this is where we will stay . Thanks everybody for a lovely experience

Outstanding

Comfortable room with all required. Staff were attentive and friendly - extremely artistic waitress who made us beautiful place cards for our table. The evening menu and breakfast were beautifully prepared and tasty. 
Being able to have breakfast a little earlier may be beneficial.

2 night stay booked to allow us to attend an event in Burnlaw.

We stayed one night at the Elks Head with our dog.  Although advertised as ‘cosy dog friendly establishment, allowing dogs to dine In the bar area’, we were disappointed to find that we could not take the dog into the bar area at all, and there were signs saying that we even had to use a separate entrance to bring the dog into the building.  The dog was clean and had come straight from the car.  Worse was that we had to eat in a totally separate room from everyone else with poor quality furniture and an electric fan effect stove.  There there were also warnings in the bedroom that if your dog is unsettled then you need to remove it from the eating area.
Dinner was nice, but overpriced for what you got.  Breakfast was good.
Rooms were very basic… motel style with mouldy windows and a toilet that did not flush properly and loud piping noises from the upstairs room toilets.
Lovely location and very friendly staff.  Overall we felt that the website photos and description showed a higher standard than what we experienced.

Dog Tolerant only

Thank you to Rob, Jen and their staff for a wonderful 2 night stay at their beautiful country inn. If careers were made for people they are the best example I've seen in a long time.
Food is amazing. Rooms are clean and fresh.
Beautiful views and a gorgeous area to explore. The welcoming hosts are the icingon the cake. Thank you once again. 

Luxury country inn

Spent a couple of nights in early November, very friendly staff, excellent food, just what we were looking for to celebrate my partner's birthday, nice log fire  and lovely walking aera. Really comfortable beds, plenty of hot water 👍👍

Birthday break

Just back from a night away at this super little hotel in a gorgeous part of Northumberland. The setting next to the river coupled with the autumn colours is really beautiful, will definitely come back in the summer to sit in the beer garden.
We had a smashing meal, great selection of draught lager and we were well looked after by Harry who kept the fire stoked up and who I shared a tale or two with about a former darts player!
Our room was warm and comfortable, not ensuite but we had a very nice private bathroom just across the landing.
Rob and Jen were lovely hosts, very friendly, our breakfast was great, nothing too much trouble. 
We will definitely come back, it's a perfect base for exploring Hadrian's Wall, and hard to believe its only 12 miles off the main Newcastle/Carlisle road, a hidden gem, thank you.

Lovely little hotel in a stunning setting

We spent a weekend at The Elks Head with our dog.  The en-suite room was very clean and comfortable and the pub itself was warm and welcoming.  We had expected to eat meals in the bar as we had a dog but we had to eat in a separate room just off the bar, so missed out on enjoying the log burner.  However, we were extremely well looked after by the lovely staff who made us feel very welcome.

The food was delicious and plentiful, we enjoyed every mouthful.

A very special thank you to Yvonne who arranged to post back a drawer full of dog treats, dog brush, collars and head torches that we had left behind!  Thank you for taking the trouble to call us and to send our belongings back so promptly. Top service 😊

A wonderful autumn weekend at The Elks Head.  Excellent food and lovely staff.  Dog friendly too!

The Elks Head is a real find. Tucked away in the stunning Northumberland countryside this cosy inn offers great food, comfortable rooms and warm friendly hospitality and dog friendly too. Great location for fantastic walks and the coast is only a short car ride away. Highly recommend
