Comfort with a difference, in the old part of Berwick

Welcome

Comfort with a difference

The hotel is very welcoming. It has six comfortable bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, comfy beds and internet throughout. Breakfast is a grab and go hamper left in your room: pastries, biscuits, jam, chocolate and orange juice.

Guests are very welcome to make use of the safe and secure outdoor bike storage area at the hotel. The Queen’s Head has everything you need for a restful stay in Berwick.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Our rooms have been recently refurbished to meet our guests’ high standards, while being sympathetic to the building’s Grade II listed status; we have created a contemporary feel while maintaining the characteristics of a period building.

The beds have pocket-sprung mattresses and are dressed in quality matching bedding, and the pillows are hypo-allergenic. Your room has a thermostat so you can feel as comfortable as if you were at home, and a housekeeper maintains the high standards of your room with daily care and attention to detail.

Bathrooms are modern and include a powerful shower, heated towel rails, luxury large bath sheets and complimentary toiletries. Rooms have tea and coffee facilities, Freeview TV, DVDs on request and free WiFi.

Please note the hotel is a self check-in hotel: we email you instructions before you arrive and your key is in a key safe outside your room. If you have any issues please contact the hotel on 01289 307852.

The hotel is in the centre of town, a fifteen-minute walk from Berwick station and ten minutes from our sister hotel, The Castle.

What our guests say

“We popped in for an after-dinner coffee and peppermint tea. The waitress was very cheerful, friendly and efficient. The bar area looked as though it had recently been refurbished and was very attractive with a lovely atmosphere.”
