Owners and staff were very pleasant, we arrived earlier than expected, and they were closed at the time. However, one phone call and they came and assisted us straight away. Service was fantastic, and the room was very clean and tidy. The location was convenient for multiple excursions around Northumberland, and it's situated in a beautiful spot. Good selection of food and local beers and a really nice atmosphere in the bar in the evening. Enjoyed reading the facts about the castle's history and was happy with the experience. N.B. Just on pricing, the price we received included discounts, and this to me made it a fair price, without discount I would probably mark down the value for money.

Food was a bit pricey for what it was, I had the salmon and Teriyaki sauce with rice. Rice and salmon were a bit bland, and the rice was overcooked (over boiled?). At breakfast had to inquire about the extra sides we had ordered, and the sides came out short with the follow-up sadly. The black pudding was overcooked, which is a shame because the evening meal the black pudding in tempura batter was delicious! (would recommend) and my wife enjoyed her burger.

Our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The food was exceptional, full of flavour and beautifully presented, and our room was just as impressive, spacious, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was soooo comfy, we didn’t want to leave it! We were welcomed by a lovely young lady at check-in who couldn’t have done enough for us, friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Gary was a highlight too, keeping us entertained with great conversation and sharing the fascinating history of the castle. A truly memorable experience, we’ll definitely be back!

First and foremost the warm welcome, the room was lovely, the staff member who showed us to room etc were very attentive. Next food, delicious and plentiful you will not be disappointed. This couple provide a fantastic service and so do their team.

I didn't really have any issues. A very small down mark on cleanliness, essentially there were some cob webs and spiders but hey it's winter, it's a castle and they were high up. the place it that cosy that if I were a spider I would try to stay there too. Remember Robert the Bruce they are also very motivational wee creatures so if at first you don't succeed try try again.

Amazing owners who went out of their way to help us with our travels due to taxi shortages, giving lifts to and from station and local attractions. Gary is great company made us feel very welcome and is full of amazing fun filled banter. Carol is an amazing cook, her pie was so delicious, my husband ate it three times in a row! The rooms were warm and comfortable with tea making facilities. The bar entertains locals too who were all friendly and welcoming.

No other facilities in walking distance so had to rely on owner for lifts. Really needed own transport as local trains were cancelled several times.

Beautiful location and the hosts were absolutely marvelous. After a long drive we were welcomed into the lounge where the locals welcomed us in like we were regulars. The property is so unique and cozy.

The only thing was that our room didn’t have heat (water pump issue) so it was a chilly night, but there were plenty of blankets to keep warm as we slept. It was going to be fixed the next day so I’m sure it’s not a normal problem.

From the moment we stepped in we felt welcome .the owners can't do enough to help you.. The rooms were spotless with good quality linen. They had a private new year function on .However we were asked would we like to join in as they would make room for us.UNfortunatly we had other plans. The 2 bar staff were really friendly . The compare Phil for the night was so funny and entertaining setting up the tables for the nights entertainment.Food was 5star both our evening meal and our breakfast.Good quality food cooked well. Thank you for our incredible stay.we will be back

The fact we could stay longer

Lovely bar and restaurant which is very tastefully decorated and is very comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff and regulars who clearly love the place. Good food served with a smile. Easy parking outside our room. Very quiet location so very peaceful. Dog friendly too - Benson the German Shepherd is a gentle giant and so well behaved. A good location from which to explore Hadrian's wall and forts or to visit the lovely town of Hexham and other amazing places. Great walking and cycling country. Blenkinsopp Castle Inn is a lovely place to return to after a long day exploring the area. Thank you to Carol, Gary and thier lovely team.

Our room, number 4, was very spacious and pleasant but there were obvious signs of a previous water leaks in the ceilings which didn't look good, particularly in the bedroom. The location of the TV (on the left hand side of the bed) meant the picture was not as clear as it could have been had it been placed on the wall at the bottom of the bed instead of the mirror. Not much free drawer space for clothes so we put alot of stuff on top of the extra bed - not a problem if you are only staying for one night and don't intend unpacking. The double bed mattress is quite firm but we slept well despite this. WiFi signal very weak (possibly due to the location).

warm welcome from hosts Carole and Graham on arrival and throughout our stay . Graham shared the history of the place and even the resident ghost ! room was warm and cosy and spotless , great night sleep ! food was exceptional and hearty and at such a reasonable price ! can't wait to return hopefully in the summer so can fully enjoy the surroundings and walks . will be recommending this little gem !

Food was.... incredible.... Best two meals in a row I've had in 30 years. Most of the staff was excellent as well as the owner....

First night's dinner took an hour and a half to arrive from when we sat down. Perhaps a booking issue? But the host made up for it... just one of those nights I suppose... Room was clean and comfortable but little character when you think of "castle".... perhaps my expectations were too much.... however, overall a very pleasant stay thanks to the owner, the staff and probably the finest cook in the UK ....

We had a good stay here. We had an excellent meal in the evening of our arrival and the breakfast was also very good. It was a very comfortable room . Only one issue. There was a step in the bathroom up to the shower . The wooden flooring was the same across the floor so it was easy to miss seeing it. Both my husband and I stubbed our toes and at one point caused me to trip and fall . A brightly coloured safety strip should be fitted .
