A 14th-century tower house turned hotel, run as a place to stay and eat rather than a day-ticket attraction - though English Heritage's daily battlements tour lets non-residents in for a look without booking a room. Reviewers consistently praise the dinner and the staff as much as the building itself.

Worth the trip

The battlements tour, the one way to see inside without staying or eating there, and it puts you within 15 minutes of Hadrian's Wall and several Roman forts if you want to make a day of the area.

Before you go

It's popular for weddings and anniversaries, so reviewers note it can carry a sense of occasion even for an ordinary dinner booking - worth knowing if you're after something more low-key.

“Cannot stress enough how beautiful this hotel was! Must do the castles guided tour as it is so interesting. Our room was out of a fairytale, nicely designed with period features and swallows swooping up and down from…”— G. Gill, visitor review
