Stayed here several times in a lodge.  The rooms are large with a superking bed, a comfortable settee and a  couple of armchairs.
There is more than enough wardrobe and drawer space.
The bathroom is luxurious  and the toiletries have the most wonderful smell.
Each lodge has a small veranda with table and chairs.
The 8 course taster menu is always very good and the breakfast choices are many.
The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic lodges

We booked a night away and were pleasantly surprised.  The room ( chichester room 15) was huge,a cute doggy welcome pack provided for the pupster and fresh fruit in the mini fridge for us. The bed was twins put together,  so huge and quite comfy,   a sofa to sit and read and watch TV. There was an excellent selection of tea and coffee and some fresh biscuits. 
We ate dinner in the hotel, our food was good, steak and fish n chips, again the dog was looked after with little treats and made welcome. There were people using manual and powerchairs and other families had small children with them, it feels very inclusive, which is perfect for us. A well stocked bar with a good selection of beers wine and spirits. 
The staff were excellent,  very friendly and breakfast the next morning had an excellent choice of hot and cold food. Perfectly poached egg and well done bacon as requested. Almost forgot,  bathroom with enormous jacuzzi bath and walk in shower. We didn't book an observatory experience but will return to do so. 

Lovely hotel for weekend getaway,  very dog friendly. 

This turned out to be a lucky find! Having booked a a room for a two night stay we then had a call to say they would upgrade us to a lodge. This was situated at the back of the hotel and was very spacious and well equipped, with a large bath and shower room. 
We ate in the hotel on both evenings and the food was very good each time. The menu was quite varied and everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Breakfast was also excellent. 
The location in a little village is handy for Kielder Water and for Hadrian’s Wall. I am sure we shall return in the near future.

Excellent accommodation and food.

The hotel is set in pretty countryside and we always receive a very warm welcome. This is my  and my husband's 4th visit and we are never disappointed. The staff are always friendly and polite whilst remaining professional at all times. The rooms are cosy and clean, andcthe food is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble, they even made scrambled egg for my dog  on request! We will definitely return at some point in the not too distant future and would definitely recommend it yi anybody wanting a relaxing break.

Relaxing break

This trip was to celebrate my birthday and we booked because of the amazing menu
The menu wasn’t as extensive which was disappointing we asked the waitress about the taster menu she was very helpful and went and asked a member of the kitchen team who was in the restaurant this person was very sharp In Their reply saying they can’t have it we need 24 hour notice I wasn’t best pleased at what I’d over heard as we didn’t want it there and then but on the third
After our meal which was basic pub food we returned to our room it was red hot we opened windows and tried to turn heating down by 930 it was becoming unbearable tried ringing reception eventually my husband went looking for help young gentleman came up and managed to sort the issue but was early hour of the morning before it was a comfortable temperature. 
The manager needs to make it clearer on website that they have a reduced menu

Food dissapointing

I have taken a while to write this as I wanted to reflect on our stay .
My husband is quite disabled and has an Assistance Dog,Spud. I had identified the hotel as having disabled friendly rooms. When I booked I noted that we would have an Assistance Dog with us. After the Covid years we were really looking forward to a night away and booked the tasting menu. The restaurant looked lovely and it was great to have a reason to get changed for our meal.
In reality the staff banished us to a dark isolated corner at the back of the bar. When I objected we were offered a table in a small dark room all on our own. When I explained the law regarding Assistance Dogs we were finally allowed to sit in the restaurant at the first table in. The barman looked furious. When he brought our drinks he glared at us and banged the drinks down on the table without a word. Needless to say we did NOT enjoy our meal. I didn’t sleep that night thinking about it but thought the manager would have done some research and realised that Spud is allowed into dining areas.
Breakfast was ghastly. We were completely refused access to the dining room and put in the small dark room.This was done loudly and we were very embarrassed and unhappy. I think it’s very likely that the hotel staff were in breach of the Disability Discrimination Act.
I emailed the hotel and,in the course of time,received a reply. To be fair they have reviewed their policy regarding Assistance Dogs and have revised it. They did offer us a nights free B&B if we visited again. Unfortunately we haven’t felt we could face it.
It’s also badly dented our confidence and we have been reluctant to try new restaurants or hotels . We have not booked any holiday since. The feeling of being so unwelcome was a first for us.

I can see positive reviews since our visit and hope other guests with Service Dogs have a positive experience..

A dreadful experience

This is the first time we have stayed at this hotel and it won't be the last.  From the moment we arrived to check in until the moment we left the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient,  nothing was too much trouble.  We stayed for 2 nights and had breakfast and dinner in the hotel.  Both were of an excellent quality with locally-sourced produce.  The room was very good, too.  There is even an astronomical observatory around the back, and it is worthwhile looking on-line to see whether there is anything on there whilst you stay at the hotel.  Excellent value - really can't fault the place and we shall return.

An excellent stay

I cannot rate this highly enough, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We stayed in the luxury lodge room, would recommend this over staying in the pub. They are in a separate building at the back. Luxurious by name and definitely luxurious by nature.
The staff are so friendly and helpful, they go that extra mile which is so appreciated. The food, from breakfast to evening meal is out of this world delicious and filling, no need to eat during the day. If I could live there, I would. 

Amazing from start to finish!!

The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable it was also very quiet ensuring a good night's sleep. We booked breakfast and dinner. Food was excellent and dinner was reasonably priced.
The staff were both friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay here again if ever visiting the area. We would also highly recommend this hotel to any  other travellers.

First Class Hotel

Clean, friendly, good food and a place for the staff to be proud of. They are not pretentious but real.
Perfect NEast atmosphere and friendliness. Well placed to explore from. Only had three nights here but I could easily have stopped for three weeks.
