Details checked 20 August 2026 · source: Google Places A genuine 14th-century fortified castle near Hexham, run as a hotel with heavy stone walls, four-posters and an AA Rosette restaurant. ## Photos Photos via Google ## About Langley Castle Hotel Langley Castle was built around 1350 and is one of very few medieval fortified castles in England still lived in and open to guests. It sits in ten acres of woodland west of Hexham, close to Hadrian's Wall and the North Pennines. The walls are seven feet thick in places, the spiral staircases are original, and there is a genuinely atmospheric quality to the building that reproduction country houses cannot manage. Rooms are split between the castle itself and two converted buildings in the grounds, the Castle View lodge and the former coach house. Castle rooms are the ones to book if the setting is the point: several have four-poster beds, window seats set into the thickness of the wall, and in a couple of cases a sauna or spa bath. The lodge rooms are more conventional in shape and a little easier on the budget, and they still come with the same access to the castle's public rooms. The Josephine restaurant serves a modern British menu and has held AA Rosette recognition, and afternoon tea in the drawing room in front of the fire is a fixture. There is no spa or pool, which keeps the focus on the building, the food and the grounds. A rooftop walk on the battlements is open to guests and gives long views over the South Tyne valley. It works best for couples wanting somewhere with real character for a short break, and for anyone touring Hadrian's Wall, Vindolanda or the Northumberland dark-sky sites. Weddings are held here regularly, so a quick check of the calendar is sensible if you want the place to yourself. Access around the older parts involves stairs and uneven floors. ## Reception hours **Monday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Tuesday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Wednesday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Thursday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Friday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Saturday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM **Sunday** 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM Current hours may differ from the usual schedule above (e.g. holidays) — check Google Maps for today's hours. ## What guests say a hedgehog ★★★★★ We have just stayed the night at Langley Castle, and enjoyed a superb dinner in the restaurant. The menu was very varied and gave us plenty to choose from. We have lots of praise for the hardworking staff who have a friendly smile ready to greet visitors. The staff were very attentive and helpful, anticipating our needs before we even thought of them. A special shout out to Mohamed, Bob, Jess and Aiden. The restaurant which has recently been very tastefully refurbished gave us a wonderful and memorable meal. We would not hesitate to recommend Langley Castle to anyone who would like a stay or simply to enjoy a meal in a 13th century castle. We stayed in one of the Castle View rooms this time, having previously stayed in feature rooms in the castle. We were not disappointed. The room was tastefully decorated and wonderfully quiet at night. We will be back. Thank you to everyone at the Castle - you made our visit truly memorable. mental note : birthdays, anniversaries ... Langley Castle is the perfect solution. Alan and Janet Mason. 3 months ago · via Google Steve Bateman ★★★★★ This was an amazing place to stay. The staff, especially Bob, couldn't be more accommodating. The room was well equipped and a comfortable bed. Great assistance with places to go to explore the local area. Breakfast was included and there were plenty of options to choose from. I would recommend this as a place to stay. a month ago · via Google Laurel Ellis ★★★★★ We are interested in visiting castle ruins as a hobby so I booked this hotel as a special treat before visiting some local ruins. We have just had the most magical time. A lot of thought and consideration has gone into every aspect of this establishment and it’a accommodations. They’ve been very accommodating for our 9 week old son and our dog Rosie. Dinner is a must and the breakfast was incredible and supplied locally. We will be back! a month ago · via Google John Gledhill ★★★★★ Langley Castle was the final destination before heading home after a huge Scottish road trip. Leaving the Isle of Skye earlier that morning, 9 hours later we finally arrived at Langley Castle and this was the most welcome sight. The approach to the Castle is up a short driveway however, it perfectly presents the elevated Castle and grounds. This 14th century castle has well and truly been through the mill over the years and of recent times, carefully reconstructed from its ruins into the luxury hotel it is today. Rooms are available in the Castle itself but there are also some very nice and traditionally styled rooms in the old converted stable blocks. This place has a wonderful charm, steeped in history and set up to impress with its medieval furnishings and architecture. The staff are incredibly welcoming and cannot do enough for the guests. All the public areas throughout the Castle are superb and at times when sat in the drawing room having pre dinner drinks, it actually feels a little surreal that you are in these surroundings. Langley Castle offers a totally different experience to most other hotels and is something to be thoroughly enjoyed. The grounds are accessible to guests and at 10.15am daily there are also guided Castle tours which take you behind the scenes and even onto the turret roof top. Breakfast, afternoon tea and evening dinner are all available and set within the beautiful rooms of the Castle. The staff and service was consistently very good and made everyone enjoy their unique experience. Also to note, Langley Castle was the inspiration for several of the Harry Potter film scenes so it’s fame comes in many ways. What a great way to spend the last 3 nights of this road trip and I couldn’t recommend Langley Castle high enough….. well done team Langley. 4 months ago · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487db9ebe6453395:0xce7488704bf84a8c!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Guests mention this hotel offers a stunning castle setting with comfortable, well-equipped rooms and delicious food, including excellent breakfast options.
