I liked the friendly staff on reception and the great garden and views of the Bridge especially first thing in the morning but very hasty on getting you out on the checkout time

Really clean and welcoming environment. Much better than a standard Bunkhouse! Great value and you often get a room to yourself which makes it better than a regular hostel. Nice bathroom, little kitchen and good wifi
While I didn't need them, the emergency rations are a great touch.
The pub next door is great and friendly

What a lovely little place! Fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge, and the bed with huuuuuge duvet was so comfortable I didn't want to get out of it.
The hosts provided lots of useful information about the cottage and surrounding areas, including local walks and interesting places to visit, and the small hamper of snacks/breakfast, and additional items such as a towel and water bowl for my pup were cute added touches which made us both feel very welcome! 😊
Lovely hotel with an observatory! We ate at the hotel and the food was very good and very reasonable ( venison bourginion with mash and veg £17.90). The wine list was very good. There are walks around the river and to near by villages. The people were very welcoming. It was full of wildlife: woodpeckers, mattins, squirrels etc.

Staff were friendly, and multi tasked well together, there was a lovely fruit plate in the room, along with biscuits, tea, coffee etc. We enjoyed a nicely presented evening meal, and a taster of chef's cauliflower soup, while we waited for our evening meal. The breakfast was multi choice, not either or but a case of just tell us what you want. So real good value for money.
Local convenience store was not far away if you had forgotten anything.

Sadly we were only at Wark for one night.
Sadly we were only at Wark for one night. However, we did have the chance to walk around this very pretty little village and enjoy the ambience caused by the wonderful North Tyne that runs through it. WE would happily return if the opportunity arrives again.

Beautiful village.
Beautiful village. Great place to explore the further area or to stay local and enjoy the walks available on the doorstep. I would love to be there on nights when the sky wasn't overcast to see the night sky - I hear it's a great spot for stargazing. Perfect area if you're interested in wildlife as well, was only there overnight but managed to see loads.

Very helpful staff from arrival through the duration of my stay. The bar and restaurant are excellent - great beers on tap and lovely food.
The location is an excellent base to explore Northumberland and the village itself is lovely, with the river running through.
If you’re interested in astronomy, there’s the observatory on site too, which is a good experience (weather permitting).
Highly recommend

Great base to explore Northumberland.
Great base to explore Northumberland. Corbridge, Hexham, The Roman Wall and Kielder are only a short distance away. Battlesteads pub is a cosy haven to relax in, after a day exploring especially the comfy chairs in front of the fire and food is exceptional served by friendly staff
This was an unplanned overnight stop on the way home from the Highlands. Easy to book, good value, last minute deal. All staff welcoming and very professional, excellent dinner and breakfast obviously a bit of a foodie destination. Would have loved to stay longer and explored the area. Really good walking country.
Our dog was welcomed with a dog towel, treats and a ball.
Room comfortable, clean and a comfy bed. Hope to be back.
Hotel working really hard to be as eco friendly and sustainable as possible.
The lodge room was very spacious and beds and pillows extremely comfy. There was a lovely selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolate with thoughtfully arranged biscuits. The breakfasts were excellent - a nice selection between hot and cold items and the hot food was beautifully cooked. Room cleaning was quick and efficiently done while we were at breakfast. There were extra hygiene measures in place around the hotel which was reassuring but not to the the point of being intrusive.
Battlesteads is a hotel with a cosy pub and restaurant. The building is old. The rooms are very clean and comfortable but don't expect sleek and refined.
The food in the restaurant is very good. They use a lot of local produce. All is cooked from scratch.
The Pub area is really cosy.
There is a determined and sustained commitment to being an environmentally friendly hotel.
We have stayed many times and will return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. Comfortable room, nice bar with good, tasty selection of beer and wines, lovely garden to sit in, nice meal and very, very good value.
Unusual and fascinating bonus of having an observatory behind hotel which we were lucky enough to enjoy on the particular night we stayed.
Would thoroughly recommend this place for a short stay and excellent value.
Tranquility and beautiful surroundings coupled with the high quality finish and wonderful interior design of this cottage made for a great staycation.
Great Walks and cycles from the front door, cute village fete and superb evening meal at battlesteads hotel 3 min walk away x lack of local shops and unusual opening hours didn’t spoil a thing!comfy beds and well equipped “Joseph” kitchen.
Excellent Breakfast with a good choice. We stayed midweek for £60 a night the room was very pretty modern and clean. The hotel is beautifully decorated and is surrounded by beautiful scenery , not too far from Hadrian's wall scenic route. A free bowl of fruit and tea coffee plus biscuits are included along with breakfast!
Everything was just perfect

Daily cleaning
Fruits and biscuits along with tea and coffee in room

We were wowed by the family room which was in the lodge part of the hotel- really spacious and a jacuzzi bath. The best thing about the hotel was the staff who were really friendly and helpful. We would come back and use this as a base for exploring Kielder. Also really great with our dog.
The staff were wonderful and welcoming. The food was out of this world and the menu really interesting. We loved our room and the observatory on site was an amazing bonus. Love the fact that so much effort has gone into making this an environmentally friendly hotel.
The Hotel was great, Good food from the evening (though a limited menu) and to a good choice of breakfast food. The room though small size was well equipped and cleanliness excellent. Great location and relaxing area. Garden views a bonus too.
A fully refurbished village pub / hotel &restaurant with on site parking in a quiet village. Friendly local staff, happy to share their local knowledge of walks & nearby attractions. Hadrian’s Wall & Kielder Forest & Reservoir trails.
We had a wedding at the hotel it could not have been any better. The staff were wonderful and patient. The food and wine selection was very good. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, we had the observatory open too.
Couldn't fault it, a lovely stay. Great hotel, lovely comfortable and relaxing. Food was fantastic. Loved how they grew their own fruit and veg and used it in their dishes. We will definitely be back 10/10 for us 😍
Lovely warm room. Comfortable bed , slept well as very quiet . Nice shower .
Food on dinner menu was amazing . The quality of food would beat any restaurant in a big city. Inventive menu sourcing local produce .
A great hotel staff very friendly and helpful.. My room was very clean as was the rest of the hotel. The food was outstanding. And all this with outstanding value for money it really is a gem of a hotel.
The dark sky observatory is outstanding, and the hotel is beautiful. The room was comfortable, with little bonuses like biscuits. The restaurant serves outstanding food.
