Summary: Lovely castle but I understand that it has recently been bought by new owners. It needs a bit of TLC particularly the gardens etc. but hopefully this will happen.
Robert May 24, 2026 05:53:16 PM
Summary: We had a wonderful time at the castle,everyone was friendly and helpful. The castle itself is amazing with oak panelling all around. We cannot praise them enough and wish them all the very best as they take the castle into the future.
Gail May 24, 2026 05:39:41 AM
Summary: The outside and surroundings were outstanding, the look of the castle, views, and scenery beautiful. The room was like a different place. Nothing like a castle room, no detail of history. Bland and deck not what I expected!

Summary: The hotel staff were very friendly and made us feel at home and very welcome. The hotel was lovely, quiet, with proper fires and excellent Chesterfields to relax and chat on. The selection at the small bar was very good, I enjoy a good whisky when relaxing and they had a good selection. Our room was a good size, just right for us, the bed was comfortable and the room was warm. It had all of the usuals expected, tea coffee etc. the dinning room was also lovely, the food was excellent, perfectly cooked and prepared plus a nice wine selection too which suited us.

Summary: A joy to stay with Elena and her team. A cosy property with more of a guest house vibe than a full-service hotel experience - but all the more enjoyable for that. The castle has a great gastro-pub just a 3-minute walk away in the village. Lovely cooked breakfast in the hotel, Ideal for a short stopover or to explore the area. Perfectly quiet and easily accessible by car or taxi from Newcastle airport. If you want to escape the formality of modern travel and. slow down a bit... Otterburn Castle.
Bill Oct 5, 2025 08:10:00 PM
Summary: Friendly and welcoming staff but slightly unconventional in many ways. Needs money spent on it.
Neil Sep 18, 2025 07:09:44 PM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay and the evening meal was excellent - highly recommended and very good value. Breakfast was also excellent. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge and bar and service was friendly and very good, the staff are all great and very welcoming. The grounds are pretty and the room was very good size and bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and can highly recommend a stay here.
