The rooms are above the pub and exceeded our expectations for small village accommodation. We stayed there after a Kielder dark skies observatory visit. The rooms ( we travelled with a friend) were spacious , and clean and the beds were really comfortable. They seemed recently refurbished. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in a hotel with really good quality food. But the best feature of all of this was the staff who were welcoming and helpful. We ate in the pub the evening before our Kielder experience and there was a very friendly atmosphere.

We bought our stay through WOWCHER and things went wrong from the start .Trying to contact the Hotel was impossible with no one seemingly able to pick up a phone or answer an email .I thought at first that the Hotel had maybe closed down but i eventually got through by contacting Bespoke Hotels direct .All this to just book Dinner .WOWCHER sold it as Hexham - no actually nearly 6 miles from Hexham but in a really lovely spot .We were allocated a TWIN room eventually but we wanted a DOUBLE - which were on the website when i was trying to make contact originally but none were available when we eventually got through .I also have a back issue which means walking any distance or LOTS of Stairs is impossible but i do have a Mobility Scooter .They managed to swap our Twin with someone else's Double and we got one in the annex part of the building on the ground floor .I was doing so well with my walking when i arrived and actually just managed with my stick - all that was about to change .We drove around to our room and it became evident that i would not manage the walk internally to the Restaurant so i would have to use the Scooter .The Room its self was basic and in a definite need of a paint as the walls were marked but the biggest problem was the Heating .Even though it had the knobs to turn it up/down , they didnt work and it was on full belt. You ask any woman of a ”Certain ” age what the biggest problem is at that age and they will tell you its been too hot in bed at night .We have Polar Bears and Penguins wondering around at home as i like it really cold but the only way we could get the heating turned down was by going to Reception and she asked the Manager ? Give them there due , they did turn it down but by the time we got back from Dinner , it was full belt again .Some Man in the next room , let out an almighty burp , so you can tell how thin the walls were .The next problem was that it was dark outside , so i couldnt use the Scooter as i couldnt see where i was driving or over what and it was also raining and you cannot use them in rain so we had to drive back round to the Front Door . The Dinner itself wasnt bad but we thought quite overpriced .We had the Charcutier Board for 2 - 2 slices Ham , 2 slices Prosciutto , 2 slices Salami , 2 pieces Cheddar , a piece of Goats Cheese and a Baguette with some Piccalilli and Branston - £19 ???? As we had £50 F&B Voucher included , our Dinner cost an extra £27.90 with my Hubby having Fish and Chips (overcooked Chips) and i had Belly Pork - 3x3x3 inch with Mash and Red Cabbage - really boring . After Dinner we went back to the room and after watching some TV , we went to bed .I woke up around 1 ish and the Room was RED HOT AGAIN - EVEN WITH THE WINDOW OPEN .We coudnt leave the Curtains open as there was a Motion Sensor Security Light in the Car Park that was creating a Disco effect in our room everytime a random animal went past .Unfortunately the Curtains were that thick , they let very little cold a

Langley Castle. Big thank you, to ALL the Langley Castle team for making our stay so special and magical. I had no idea where I was going until we arrived at the castle. All I knew, is we were staying overnight and dinner will be a fine dining experience, and one of the best we have had over the years. Driving through the forest and following the long winding road, we finally arrived at Langley Castle woodland estate Northumberland . I thought to myself’ as the castle came into view ‘ OMG. As we both walked towards the castle it was utterly breath taking, with the huge fountain sitting so elegant in front of the castle, along with the truly beautiful landscape surroundings . We walked through the huge wooden door of the castle’ and into the grand castle hallway- WOW 😮 just WOW. The castle is steeped in history. Knights stand stall in traditional armour, a beautiful wooden staircase that traveled as far up’ as the eyes could see, along with stunning period furniture, flags and pictures that blended in so well with this 640 year old castle , and 7 feet wide stone walls. The magnificent drawing room, with blazing log fire, traceries and stained glass, together with the oak-panelled cocktail bar, compliment the intimate nature of the Josephine Restaurant. The food served in the restaurant is of the highest order boasting a 2AA Rosette, making the most of fresh, local produce, with fish and game a speciality. Once we were checked in, we were shown to our room. As we made our way to the featured room called the- Derwentwater room, after Earls of Derwentwater (James and Charles Radcliffe) and both Earls were executed at the Tower of London for their parts in the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745. A shrine to the brothers lies a short walk . Once again as we entered the room ‘WOW’ 😮 The room was magnificent to say the least, with its beautiful four poster bed, high ceilings, draped beautiful red curtains, fireplace, and stunning period furniture. Author JK Rowling came to stay in this Castle, not once but FOUR times, to gain inspiration for the Harry Potter books. The castle is said to be haunted by a ‘Grey Lady’, reputed to be Maud de Lucy, widow of Sir Thomas, who threw herself out of a window having received news of his death at the Battle of Shrewsbury. Author JK Rowling, wrote into the Harry Potter books moaning myrtle, on the back of the reputed Maud de Lucy - Grey lady. The huge long winding staircases that traveled so high up into the top of the castle, as far as your eyes could see into the darkness , was also written into the books of Harry Potter-the famous staircase of Hogwarts. American Stuart Madnick, Baron of Langley, and his wife (sadly passed away) Own the Northumberland castle . Stuart Madnick, the John Norris Maguire Professor of Information Technology and Engineering Systems, has owned Langley Castle in England since 1985.

This pub is an absolute hidden gem!!! The atmosphere, beer, welcome, food and local amenities was all faultless. Phil and his staff couldn’t be more welcoming and I can’t wait to visit again!! The pub has a fantastic open fire for cold evenings, a great selection of beers, great food and just an all round superb vibe! The village is lovely with excellent walks from the pub itself. There is a post office with cash machine, Co-op store and traditional butchers all within a hundred yards. There’s literally everything here you could ever need including a quoits pitch in the rear beer garden! Yes quoits! A local team still play from there! The rooms were spacious and very clean!
