We’d been looking for a family room near the Kielder Observatory and most pubs needed us to take two rooms or other accommodation needed us to stay two nights. The Boe Rigg had a family room and very reasonably priced. The photos didn’t do the accommodation justice. When we arrived we were very pleasantly surprised to find a lovely large airy room with both kitchen facilities and an tv/seating area. There’s a lovely cozy bar area in the public section, restaurant and outdoor tables overlooking beautiful fields which is home to the campsite. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. There is some renovation work going on it the campsite facilities but it wasn’t a problem.
Fountain Cottage Cafe and B&B is offering accommodations in Bellingham. There's a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay.

Beautiful accommodations! Comfortable, fully updated wonderful interior. All the comforts of home. Spectacular views! Easily the nicest place we stayed in our 16 day holiday traveling across England. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer.
Lovely hotel with an observatory! We ate at the hotel and the food was very good and very reasonable ( venison bourginion with mash and veg £17.90). The wine list was very good. There are walks around the river and to near by villages. The people were very welcoming. It was full of wildlife: woodpeckers, mattins, squirrels etc.

Staff were friendly, and multi tasked well together, there was a lovely fruit plate in the room, along with biscuits, tea, coffee etc. We enjoyed a nicely presented evening meal, and a taster of chef's cauliflower soup, while we waited for our evening meal. The breakfast was multi choice, not either or but a case of just tell us what you want. So real good value for money.
Local convenience store was not far away if you had forgotten anything.

Sadly we were only at Wark for one night.
Sadly we were only at Wark for one night. However, we did have the chance to walk around this very pretty little village and enjoy the ambience caused by the wonderful North Tyne that runs through it. WE would happily return if the opportunity arrives again.

Beautiful village.
Beautiful village. Great place to explore the further area or to stay local and enjoy the walks available on the doorstep. I would love to be there on nights when the sky wasn't overcast to see the night sky - I hear it's a great spot for stargazing. Perfect area if you're interested in wildlife as well, was only there overnight but managed to see loads.

Very helpful staff from arrival through the duration of my stay. The bar and restaurant are excellent - great beers on tap and lovely food.
The location is an excellent base to explore Northumberland and the village itself is lovely, with the river running through.
If you’re interested in astronomy, there’s the observatory on site too, which is a good experience (weather permitting).
Highly recommend

Great base to explore Northumberland.
Great base to explore Northumberland. Corbridge, Hexham, The Roman Wall and Kielder are only a short distance away. Battlesteads pub is a cosy haven to relax in, after a day exploring especially the comfy chairs in front of the fire and food is exceptional served by friendly staff
We visited Kielder Water during July 2022 and stayed at Battlesteads in Wark (about 20 miles from Kielder) during with our dog. The hotel is very dog friendly which was great - the dog even got a welcome pack on arrival ! Room (room 11) was fairly small but comfortable and spotlessly clean. Bed very comfortable Shower was over bath but nice. Evening meal and breakfast both very good. Fantastic beer garden at the rear - a real sun trap. Staff very pleasant. Special shout out for Charlotte who was always smiling
This was an unplanned overnight stop on the way home from the Highlands. Easy to book, good value, last minute deal. All staff welcoming and very professional, excellent dinner and breakfast obviously a bit of a foodie destination. Would have loved to stay longer and explored the area. Really good walking country.
Our dog was welcomed with a dog towel, treats and a ball.
Room comfortable, clean and a comfy bed. Hope to be back.
Hotel working really hard to be as eco friendly and sustainable as possible.
Battlesteads is a hotel with a cosy pub and restaurant. The building is old. The rooms are very clean and comfortable but don't expect sleek and refined.
The food in the restaurant is very good. They use a lot of local produce. All is cooked from scratch.
The Pub area is really cosy.
There is a determined and sustained commitment to being an environmentally friendly hotel.
We have stayed many times and will return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. Comfortable room, nice bar with good, tasty selection of beer and wines, lovely garden to sit in, nice meal and very, very good value.
Unusual and fascinating bonus of having an observatory behind hotel which we were lucky enough to enjoy on the particular night we stayed.
Would thoroughly recommend this place for a short stay and excellent value.
Tranquility and beautiful surroundings coupled with the high quality finish and wonderful interior design of this cottage made for a great staycation.
Great Walks and cycles from the front door, cute village fete and superb evening meal at battlesteads hotel 3 min walk away x lack of local shops and unusual opening hours didn’t spoil a thing!comfy beds and well equipped “Joseph” kitchen.
Wark is a pretty village. The room was excellent value- it had a luxurious feel. Lovely selection of fruit to enjoy in the room. The dinner and cooked breakfast were of a high standard. Great covid measures in place. The cleaning staff in the morning were super friendly and deserve praise for their work in the rooms. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Excellent Breakfast with a good choice. We stayed midweek for £60 a night the room was very pretty modern and clean. The hotel is beautifully decorated and is surrounded by beautiful scenery , not too far from Hadrian's wall scenic route. A free bowl of fruit and tea coffee plus biscuits are included along with breakfast!
Comfortable bed and room, cosy bar, good range of well prepared meals, choice of six real beers, fresh fruit and good quality tea and biscuits in room, friendly staff, very environmentally aware hotel management ( which is of high importance to us). Beautiful garden. Printed maps of suggested walks from the property.
Hotel is cosy, warm and inviting, immaculately clean, extremely brilliant staff. Lovely well kept garden. In a wonderful area, a great relaxing stay, plenty of walks around a very scenic area. Dark skies observatory attached, is worth booking a visit too.
The Hotel was great, Good food from the evening (though a limited menu) and to a good choice of breakfast food. The room though small size was well equipped and cleanliness excellent. Great location and relaxing area. Garden views a bonus too.
A fully refurbished village pub / hotel &restaurant with on site parking in a quiet village. Friendly local staff, happy to share their local knowledge of walks & nearby attractions. Hadrian’s Wall & Kielder Forest & Reservoir trails.
Couldn't fault it, a lovely stay. Great hotel, lovely comfortable and relaxing. Food was fantastic. Loved how they grew their own fruit and veg and used it in their dishes. We will definitely be back 10/10 for us 😍
Lovely warm room. Comfortable bed , slept well as very quiet . Nice shower .
Food on dinner menu was amazing . The quality of food would beat any restaurant in a big city. Inventive menu sourcing local produce .
The dark sky observatory is outstanding, and the hotel is beautiful. The room was comfortable, with little bonuses like biscuits. The restaurant serves outstanding food.
