The Turks Head  

Tucked in Morpeth (Rothbury), this historic 16th‑century coaching inn sits a short walk from Crown Studio Gallery and The Congregational and minutes from Cragside Country Park. Alnwick Castle is about 12.3 miles away and Newcastle International Airport is the nearest major airport (around 35 miles). Family-friendly and set in the Coquetdale valley, it’s a countryside base with easy access to local sights.

The Turk's Head blends original coaching‑inn character with renovated stables turned en‑suite rooms and traditional features. Some rooms boast impressive views over Coquetdale and Simonside, and there’s a large garden, patio and enclosed play area for kids. Rates are B&B‑style and rooms include basics like TV and tea/coffee facilities.

Play outdoors with an outdoor tennis court, table tennis, picnic and barbecue areas, plus a huge garden and patio to roam. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected and tour/ticket assistance helps plan local adventures. Free self‑parking is available onsite.
