Otterburn Castle

Impressive building and surrounds. All set up for Halloween. A friendly and considerate reception. An open fire in the hall and we were quickly shown the layout of the building and taken to our room. Very relaxed and friendly guests in the grand dining room. A reasonable menu selection and the wine menu was inclusive. The waiter was very good and the portions acceptable. My burger bun was badly burnt and this ruined the meal. The salmon course was perfect however. We had a pleasant drink in the bar area with an open fire. Breakfast was excellent. The castle grounds are well cared for.

Amazing place to stay. Gorgeous and impressive building with comfy rooms. Very picturesque grounds and nice village with amenities. Staff are super friendly, atmosphere is relaxing and food was amazing. Highly recommend. We had a great stay here.

On arriving at Otterburn Castle I was impressed to find such a building in the middle of a small village. We unpacked our car and were met with what can only be identified as a sunny disposition/welcome in the form of Alex. Being a family run business we came to learn that being on reception was part of his duties along with helping out during meal times. He was courteous informative and helpful throughout our one night stay. After unpacking we came across Ellie the proprietor of the castle. As with her son, extremely helpful willing to please. All mixed up with a piece of feeling that you had just popped over mams to spend the night. As with Alex, Ellie was quite chatty and keen to get to know her customers as well as giving a bit of the background on how she became the castle owner. This made us feel all the more welcome. After walking out for a short while we returned to our spacious, wooden clad, well equipped room. All of the features were in keeping with castle which made it all the more special. The evening meal was outstanding! We both had steaks and were impressed both presentation and taste. In conclusion our visit was great. I would recommend anyone to visit. Whilst they run on a skeleton staff (being just Alex, Ellie the chef and a house keeper you would not think so. Ellie, Alex and the chef thanks for making us feel so welcome and looking after us on our weekend away. We will return!

Stayed two nights at this well run, friendly and visually stunning hotel. Our room had a 4 poster bed and was enormous, being the former library in which Walter Scott wrote. The food was excellent and there was a good selection of wines and beers. A historic building (from 1500's) in a lovely setting in a beautiful part of Britain. Only downside was weak wifi in some parts of the castle. We will be back!

Dinner was excellent, we both had the steak. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. It was so quiet we never heard anyone while we were in there. The staff were exceptional - friendly, welcoming, helpful. Breakfast was great and piping hot. Would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay here to attend a wedding locally. We were welcomed by a lovely lady, so friendly and helpful, as was the male staff member we met later. The hotel is absolutely spotless and the castle is beautiful. Our bedroom was very spacious and comfortable and bathroom very clean and provided with lovely toiletries. We dined in the restaurant one evening and had an amazing steak dinner and breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. This was a fabulous break and I would definitely return again. Thank you for having us and making us feel so welcome!

Stayed for two night - can't say enough about the place, its absolutely stunning, room was spotless, breakfast was very good with lots of choice and set in beautiful grounds. The owner Ellie was so helpful and friendly, had lots of chats with her and she even ironed my shirt for the wedding i was attending. Would highly recommend if you are staying in or around the area

The most unpretentious, friendly place we’ve ever stayed. Elena, Alex and Debbie we so welcoming, making us feel like the castle was home from home, and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a double room with a z-bed for our daughter. It was very roomy and comfortable with a huge bed and well equipped bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice. Thank you so much Elena, Alex and the team for a lovely stay.

Stayed here for my cousins wedding. Absolutely amazing. Superb setting, comfortable room, great food and drink but best of all the amazing service and welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and it really felt like home. Can't wait to come back again.
