Location was perfect for the wedding we were attending. Room was superb and breakfast good.
Family who run the business are a delight, would definitely recommend
Wifi not great in parts of the castle however this is not necessarily a downside if you value conversation

The character, age and warm welcome, not to mention very comfortable beds.
We all loved the property… like anything with age, you have to expect some quirky aspects. We loved them all.

The location is stunning and the building itself if spectacular. It really is like stepping back in time staying here. We had a very late arrival for a wedding at another venue close by and the lady who runs it couldn't have been more helpful. She told us to focus on getting ready and enjoying our day and to worry about settling the bill on checkout the following day. Breakfast was amazing, the room was stunning. There aren't enough good things to say about this venue and the family who runs it.
Everything was perfect.

Personnel is serving, polite and flexible: this change quite a lot our experience as foreigners around thus whereabouts: thank you all! Building is beautiful, an it's surrounded by lovely gardens.
Cleanliness is not the best of the best, but the accommodation was so last minute cheap that we cannot complain. We mean: it was clean, but perhaps not spotless around some openings with just a few spider webs.

Classic Victorian style building, though having origins reaching back to medieval times, complete with wooden paneling in communal areas. Very friendly staff making us feel welcome from first arrival.
Shower was a bit iffy. Sometimes hot. Sometimes cold. Sometimes no water at all.

Breakfast was amazing .. quality ingredients.. plenty of it .. just perfect .
The location was superb as we were at a wedding over the road ..
The owner from chesterfield.. so friendly and welcoming .. excellent first impressions
Nothing really .. it’s an old building so the character is exactly what we loved ..
maybe a full standing ironing board but that’s me having to think really hard ..

We received a lovely warm welcome on our arrival. The castle grounds are beautiful and well kept. Our bedroom was very clean, well equipped and the decor was lovely. We ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing. In the morning we went down for breakfast and there was a wide variety of food and drink. Cooked breakfast was very nice. We would highly recommend staying here and we will also be looking at returning 😀

the hostess and her son were great hostess and host. dinner was excellent and very nicely presented. Breakfast was equally as tasty, and coked to order. This hotel is not expensive, and it is obvious that both landlady and her son want to ensure that one has a good time. The grounds are beautiful and ideal for a leisurely walk. We will definately begoing back.

Otterburn is a special treat. A family run operation near nothing, it is a castle with all the charm. We had what I think was called the Library room. It was amazing! Dinner was very good.
It certainly could have been cleaner. There were old spider webs on the window latches. In a way, it added to the authenticity!

We enjoyed the very personal touch. It was like being guests of a family for the few days we were there. The environment was great for relaxing and we loved the breakfasts and the dinners we had there. For us it was a gem in our touring holiday of Northumberland.
I really can't think of anything to be honest.

Fabulous welcome from Ellie, customer service exceptional. Alex provided the same excellent service at breakfast (which was brilliant!!) We were attending a wedding locally, and were able to check in early to get changed and ready, Ellie having made the room available early. Would definitely re-visit.

As we were attending a wedding in the village the location was perfect. The beds were comfy and the evening meal and breakfast were very good with excellent choices. The gardens and grounds were absolutely lovely but due to rain only got a short window to explore them. The hosts were excellent and ready to help in any way they could.

It was a fantastic experience. I never stayed in the castle before. The reception was very welcoming and made us feel special.
We had our dinner in the castle restaurant. The gentleman who served us was very skilled and made everything very smooth. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. My husband had a stake with a delicious mustard sauce, chips and steamed vegetables. I had a delightful duck best, which I had never had before because I'm not fond of chicken breast, but this was so different. I will have it again in the future.
I am planning to come back in the future.
PS I loved the cat I meet on the property 🐯🐈😊

Hosts lovely couldn't do enough for us. Food good for evening meal and breakfast.
Understand massively up keep of old buildings but little things like paint work , bathroom ,windows etc including signage and hotel entrance need attention. This hotel is located on a very busy road.
