Langley Castle Hotel

A 14th-century castle hotel at Langley-on-Tyne, near Haltwhistle, in the Tyne valley.

Its genuinely medieval building sets it apart from the area's other hotels, most of which occupy later Georgian or Victorian buildings, and it sits within a reasonable drive of Housesteads and Vindolanda. It's one of the highest-rated hotels covered in this guide, holding a 4.7 rating from close to 1,300 Google reviews. Rooms have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning, and the hotel runs to a bridal suite, meeting rooms, room service and concierge and business services — a fuller spa-and-events package than most of the area's other historic hotels, and reflected in facilities like fishing and a golf course nearby. Dogs are welcome, and parking is free on site.
