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, 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.

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!

Both my husband and I have had an amazing couple of weeks away. This hotel is quite simply amazing. The staff are simply fantastic and attention to detail is brilliant. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, even preparing a takeaway breakfast for us without us even asking for them to do so because we was not available for breakfast due to an early day trip to Edinburgh. The breakfast was fantastic every day all Freshly cooked to order as well as ceral, fresh fruit, yoghurt tea and freshly made coffee. Nothing was any trouble at all. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The hotel was clean and very welcoming, room was refreshed on simple request.
