1 / 8The Three Wheat Heads Inn
Thropton, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A three hundred year old Northumbrian country pub in Thropton, two miles from Rothbury, where the bar and the garden are open to dogs.
The River Coquet runs through the grounds of the Three Wheat Heads, and the inn holds the fishing rights to that stretch. This three hundred year old Northumbrian country pub stands in the attractive village of Thropton, two miles from Rothbury and twelve from Alnwick. It makes a dog friendly inn with four en-suite bedrooms.
Your dog can stay with you, and the inn asks that you do not leave a dog unattended in your room. Which of the four rooms take dogs, and how many, the inn doesn't say, so ring before booking. The two doubles are beautifully furnished, each with its own touch and with views of the Simonside Hills, and the bedrooms all have a smart television and tea and coffee making facilities.
In the bar and the garden your dog is welcome. At meals, the inn doesn't mention where a dog may sit with you, so ask when you reserve a table. The kitchen offers a full page of vegetarian dishes and a wide range of gluten free options, an extensive children's menu, coffee from Americano to liqueur coffee, and wines from crisp whites to full bodied reds and sparkling.
Cragside House, with its walks and formal gardens, is four miles away, and Thropton lies next to the Northumberland National Park. Wildpack's Rothbury to Cragside Estate Walk sits 1.9 miles away, and Simonside Ridge 2.2 miles, should you and the dog want a longer outing.
