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!

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.

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.

Came away for a Christmas get away, and it was the right shout! I'll absolutely be coming back! It's right in the heart of the countryside, just outside Alston, and the landscape is lush! The PERFECT get away if you want quiet, private, at-nature. There's plenty to do in the local area, but this is a perfect ”lounge around” holiday. They've got a lush front room with a huge fireplace and plenty classical books to read; very swish! It has a flowing river right outside to make for the perfect scenery too! Some beautiful photos were taken! Our first night we were greeted by a very pleasant, very compassionate front of house. Dan made sure we had everything we need, gave us a tour, and helped us to our rooms. He clearly cares about his job, and does it so very well. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world. Lisa is one CRACKING chef! I love her eggs, they give me life. You have to try the breakfast! It's so good. Ask to speak with Lisa, she's only too happy to talk your through her skills, and is such a pleasure to talk with! Helen our server, and staff throughout the stay made us feel so welcome, had many laughs, and was so very kind to each of our requests! She makes some tasty hot chocolate too. We even had a brief chat with Sharon too, who was so welcoming and very friendly to talk to. I really feel like we got to know them all well, and had an incredible stay! Shame about the no alcohol rule, as this place would make a KILLING on events hire! But honestly, for us at least, it just made us go into town, supporting local business anyways. Not a bad thing! Absolutely consider staying here. I'm certainly coming back. It's absolutely lush. What a gorgeous place!
