An eco-friendly Northumberland hotel in the pretty village of Wark, moments from one of England's sprawling national parks - includes breakfast, eight-course tasting menu dinner options and more

  • Cosy country stay: Tucked away in the village of Wark on Tyne, Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant is housed in a former 18th-century farmstead, and makes for a charming and quintessentially English rural retreat. Your delightful bolthole is surrounded by sweeping country landscapes begging to be explored, while inside individually-decorated rooms will welcome you with plush furnishings, characterful designs, and splashes of colour for an upbeat country feel.

  • Sustainable, seasonal dining: Taking full advantage of its stunning rural setting with an onsite smokery and kitchen garden, expect high-quality seasonal offerings at the hotel's restaurant, where local meat, fish, fruit and vegetables take centre-stage. Opt for oak-smoked poultry, succulent local game or tasty home-grown vegetarian offerings, and be sure to try the mouthwatering eight-course tasting menu.

  • Embrace eco living: From carbon-neutral heating to locally-sourced organic toiletries and a sustainably-run kitchen, Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant is proud of its status as Northumberland's greenest hotel. Sporting a Gold Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme (and many others besides), an eco-friendly ethos underpins every aspect of this wonderful hotel, so you can be sure that your stay respects and celebrates the gorgeous natural landscape around you.

How to get there

The hotel lies in the village of Wark, along the River North Tyne and around seven miles from the A68 on the edge of the Northumberland National Park. Newcastle Upon Tyne is a 45-minute drive away, but you can also take the train from Newcastle to Hexham, and from there hop on the 680 Tynedale Links bus to the Hexham Road stop, which is just two minutes' walk from your hotel.

Entry requirements

The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel. Please also be sure to check the validity of your passport and allow up to 10 weeks for passport renewals.

Wark
In an idyllic location close to the stunning Northumberland National Park and Kielder Water and Forest Park, you'll find breathtaking landscapes, rare wildlife and refreshing walks all at your doorstep here. Elsewhere, the picturesque Twee Wark village, famous Hadrian’s Wall, and Chesters Bridge with its nearby Roman Fort all make for some lovely days out, while nearby Hexham is a charming market town dominated by an impressive abbey. 

When night falls, return to your cosy country base to hunker down with a book, or head to the hotel's own Dark Sky Observatory for stargazing and awe-inspiring astronomy talks on selected dates.
