The Queens Head

Beschreibung

The Queens Head is a traditional, two-storey detached public house built in stone, featuring four double en-suite letting bedrooms. The property combines period charm with trading areas finished to a high standard and well-appointed living accommodation above.

Lage

The village of Glanton is located just off the A697 and just a few miles east of the edge of the Northumberland National Park, home to the Cheviot Hills and some stunning scenery including one of the world’s largest dark sky parks. Located in close proximity to the highly desirable market town of Alnwick, renowned for its iconic Castle and Gardens. Alnwick lies approximately 10 miles (16 minutes) to the east, while the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just a short drive beyond, offering some of the UK’s most spectacular coastal scenery. The coastline, the castles, wonderful scenery, quaint villages and proximity to The Scottish Borders and road access to both Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne, make the Queens Head ideally situated to capitalise on the huge volume of tourism and leisure business in the region.
