The Best Pubs with Rooms in Northumberland

Northumberland, unlike many parts of the UK, is sparsely populated and that is what makes it such an attractive getaway. With a rugged coastline, beautiful beaches, and plenty of remote countryside to explore - this is a walker's paradise. For the perfect evening, following a day in the great outdoors, it doesn't get much better than spending it beside a roaring fire nursing a pint of local ale. With this in mind, our hotel experts have compiled a list of the best pubs with rooms in Northumberland. Whether you like your pub gastro-chic or rather a more traditional stay - there is plenty to choose from. So why not browse through our list to start planning your break?

For a country escape

The Pheasant Inn is the epitome of a traditional inn. Downstairs is a cosy pub with a roaring fire, beamed ceilings, horse brasses adorning the walls, and local ales being pulled at the bar. Food is unpretentious and hearty while rooms are simple and cosy. Surrounded by beautiful countryside (just a mile from Kielder Water and Forest Park) - perfect for long walks.
Duke of Wellington Inn is a stylish yet relaxed country pub that has built a reputation on its excellent food. Offering stunning views south across the Tyne valley, this is prime walking country.
The Percy Arms is a relaxed country inn with rustic chic interiors. Surrounded by gorgeous walks whether it be along the coast or in the Cheviot Hills. Rooms are bright, airy, and luxurious with enormous sink-into beds. Food is elevated pub classics and the service is extra friendly.
The Northumberland Arms is a handsome Georgian coaching inn, in a charming Northumberland village, with six spacious boutique bedrooms. With a relaxed, rustic-chic, feel it’s good for a stylish country getaway whether you want to be active or read a book around one of the wood-burning stoves.

For a gastropub

St Mary's Inn is a chic spot generally filled with a mix of dogs, walkers, and locals at the bar. Rooms are light and contemporary with indulgent bathrooms. Locally sourced modern British cuisine is served in the restaurant alongside a homebrewed ale. Ideal for walkers, cyclists or those looking for a pitstop on the way to Scotland.
The Hadrian Hotel occupies an enviable location near Hadrian's Wall and surrounded by lovely walking country. Bedrooms are simple and comfortable and the staff are noticeably friendly. However, the choice of fine dining Scandinavian cuisine (served in an appropriately hygge dining room) makes this a stand out stay.

For a romantic escape

The Joiners Arms is a romantic ‘weekend treat’ gastropub, close to one of Northumberland’s prettiest beaches. Rooms are big and sexy and the best have in-room bathtubs. While the atmospheric restaurant serves modern food. A perfect country escape for two.

For a market town

Angel Inn at Corbridge is a former coaching inn, in the centre of the charming market town of Corbridge. A real hub of the town, the property has undergone a rustic-chic makeover and offers smart bedrooms but the real lure is the buzzy bar that's also a locals’ favourite.

For an eco-conscious stay

Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant is from the outside a quintessential British inn with its yellow stone adorned by hanging flower baskets. However, the owners have ensured it has solid green principles; with a biomass boiler, solar panels and a kitchen garden all in the name of reducing their carbon footprint. With cosy rooms, innovative menus and access to beautiful countryside - this is an alluring choice.
