Battlesteads

Dark-sky inn where the bar and restaurant are dog-friendly

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A family-run inn, restaurant and dark-sky observatory in the village of Wark, on the road between Hexham and Kielder. The bar and restaurant are both dog-friendly areas, and ground floor rooms take dogs by prior arrangement. It suits a stargazing and forest break with easy runs up to Kielder and down to Hadrian's Wall.
