    The decor was top notch, the beds were comfortable, especially after I'd walked 125 miles in a week along the Pennine Way. The showers were hot & it was great to be able to walk just a short way to the restaurant where the meals were good.

Overlooking the Heritage site of Blenkinsopp Castle and set against the backdrop of historic Hadrian's Wall in the heart of the glorious unspoiled Northumbrian countryside. Blenkinsopp Castle Inn is a stunning coaching Inn steeped in history that dates back to the 13th Century. Oozing with history, it is the perfect place to relax and take advantage of our warm ambiance. A cosy traditional bar, with wooden beams and a roaring open fire. In our restaurant, we use a seasonal selection of local produce for breakfast, lunch, and evening meals. We are the perfect place to enjoy a meal with a good selection of wine and beverages to choose from. We have six en-suite Bed and Breakfast rooms.

Neighbourhood information
