I stayed here one night on my way down to the Lake District. The food at both dinner and breakfast was excellent as was service. (I particularly appreciated that they had gluten free bread available in the morning.) The room was very clean and charming with french doors opening to a private deck. There was a kettle, but a small fridge would have been nice. There was ample parking close to the door. Hosts were very friendly and easy to chat with. There are some walking trails so I was able to do a bit of birdwatching. Apparently a lot of their business if from people cycling or walking the Hadrian's Wall routes. I would certainly recommend Blenkinsopp for that. It's within walking distance to the wall; and well set up for bikes. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

We stopped for 1 night. The rooms were absolutely spotless, had everything you needed for a B&B. We were able to check in sooner than 3pm. the food was lovely. Great location, there was a hotel with a bar within about a 15 min walk. The couple who own it were really friendly. Weve already booked up to go back in june.

Excellent stay

Amazing, unique place that offers a unique experience. The rooms are small but well appointed. They are dog friendly in the rooms as well as pub/restaurant. The ruins are available to be toured and the local residents add a lovely addition to the experience. To note, the pub/restaurant/check in does not open at all until 3 pm so don’t arrive early. Food and drink are excellent.

The meals were exceptional and great value - good portion size and delicious. Breakfast was included and plenty of food on offer. It was also a treat to stay in a building of historical significance and the story of Blenkinsopp was interesting. Staff and owners were lovely, friendly and helpful. The only downside of our stay was weak water pressure in the shower (not sure if that can be helped?) and the bed was not the most comfortable. Other than that, we would stay again (but would ask for a different room in the hopes of a more comfy mattress).

Superb idea with a 13c castle being the usp. Some room cleaning needed attention with excessive mould evident in shower and some areas not cleaned sufficiently. Accomodation best descas adequate but the food was first class however experienced front of house staff in the bar was missing and requires urgent attention. That said we would return

Quaint and welcoming

We enjoyed our one night stay whilst up at Hadrian's Wall. Gary, Carol and their staff were very friendly, the service was great, the room was very comfortable and the food was excellent in the charming restaurant. Minor confusion on arrival about our booking was quicky resolved without issue (computer problem / booking platform) i.e. what room we had booked and what was included in our booking. Room 5 was spacious, beautifully furnished and immaculately clean with French doors onto a small patio area. Don’t be put off by comments about the approach amongst the nearby residential retirement lodges (peaceful and well maintained) or occasional motor homes parking in the car park. It's quirky and quaint, in the castle's coach stables connected to what remains of a 19th-century turreted country mansion and ruin of a 14th-century tower house (castle).
