The Shepherds Rest in Northumberland

We stayed in our motorhome at the campsite behind. It was so bad we cut our 2 night booking to a 1 night stay. Plots were very poor, facilities worse. To be fair, they do serve a good pint of Guinness in the pub but apart from that, nothing to recommend. On the same trip we stayed at far superior sites for the same or less cost.

Lovely countryside pub, dog friendly and food choices.

Called in on spec for Sunday lunch today. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Although quiet for a Sunday service we found the food and its presentation of a very high standard. I have a wheat intolerance and this was readily accommodated. Have passed this pub many times and have never called in, pleased we did today. Would recommend you give it a try, has a very traditional feel.

Popped in today 12/08/24 Bar woman was so nice and the food done to perfection. Really pleasent place and locals really Friendly. Highly recommend

Beautiful castle to visit for free. Parking possibility

Great room, friendly helpful staff and a great breakfast.

Nice Family run pub with a camping site, Beer garden and outside under cover area and conservatory for dining in. Reasonably priced drinks also, great outside for a sunset view!

Decent pub stopover in motorhome electric, shower&toilet. A warm welcome from Claire.

We stayed on the caravan site great little spot not to far to walk into alnwick but advise a taxi on the way back as it's all up hill....great bar with great staff...

Don't expect much out of season

I feel for the lady serving behind the bar in this pub, because she seemed to be the only person running the place. Avoid at all costs. When the main conservatory restaurant is empty at 6:30pm on a bank holiday weekend, then it's a bad sign. When a pub/restaurant starts by telling you what they don't have, e.g. fish, lasagna, then it's another bad sign. Really terrible atmosphere, and clearly just a pub for locals.

Great. Lovely rooms, amazing food, warm and welcoming staff, good choices of beer and Claire is absolutely brilliant. So accommodating. Will be back!

Great biker camping and b&b..food was good beer also. Friendly helpful staff

Great location a very short walk from the centre of Alnwick. Room was nice with everything required for a comfortable stay. The B&B is attached to a great little pub which shows sports & serves food. Host really helped by ordering a taxi for me and then went above & beyond by offering to give me a lift to pick up my car in the morning having left it overnight at a wedding venue. Really good value too, would stay again!

Just been here for tea, absolutely shocking, menu very limited, chose homemade lasagne only because it said home made, big mistake, it was clearly made by a novice cook, no tomato, no onions and no flavour, just full fat mince a layer of pasta and cheddar cheese melted on top, vile. Husband chose chicken breast with mash, he had option of blue cheese sauce and peppercorn sauce but not being a sauce fan chose nothing, when it came it looked very dry so asked politely if he could have some gravy, we were sat in an area outside the kitchen and the door was open wide all the time we were there, we heard the waitress ask for gravy and the cook was clearly not happy with this small request. We could see everything going off in the kitchen and I must say they microwave was in full use, worst meal I’ve had in my life to be honest. Yes plates might be empty but only out of hunger, you’ll eat anything when your starving, we’d been driving round for 2 hours finding somewhere to eat and the microwave was in full use throughout the prep not only the gravy. I’ll stand my ground and say it was terrible, couldn’t wait to get out of the place .
