Langley Castle Hotel is a 14th Century castle nestling in the Northumbrian valley of the South Tyne. Built in 1350, during the reign of Edward III, the castle has retained its architectural integrity and is regarded as one of the few medieval fortified Castle Hotels in England.

Set in its own ten acre woodland estate, the castle's 7 feet thick walls provide a peaceful and tranquil refuge in which to escape from today's hustle and bustle to a bygone age.

The guest rooms are individually unique all with private facilities, some with four-poster beds, sauna and spa bath.

Langley Castle Hotel offers you an exclusive centre from which to explore Hadrian's Wall, the Northumbrian countryside and history. With southern Scotland including Edinburgh, the English Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales no more than 2 hours drive away. The Castle provides a perfect venue for wedding receptions, private functions or just a getaway weekend.

Guest Rooms

The eighteen guest rooms, all with private facilities, are luxuriously appointed. Some have private features such as a four-poster bed and a window seat set in the 7ft thick castle walls. Although the Castle itself was built in 1350, the sauna and spa bath in some rooms mean that your stay with us won't be memorable for the privations of medieval times, but for the comfort of the 20th century without its pressures.

Castle View and the Lodge are conversions of other listed buildings within the grounds commanding magnificent views of the Castle itself. All guests have full access to the Castle, where meals are served. Some of the rooms have separate seating areas, complete with sofa beds, perfect for the family or as a meeting room.

Dining at Langley Castle

The Josephine Restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere, with stone alcoves and candlelight. The four course Table d Hôte menu offers exceptionally well prepared and presented fare, featuring continental as well as local and regional dishes. Fresh fish and locally caught game are a speciality.

The main menu itself is complemented with a vegetarian section and also a supplementary menu which offers slightly more expensive and unusual dishes.

Our Dessert menu has become renowned in local circles, with our own "Chocolate, Cointreau Truffle cake" becoming an irreplaceable option.

The wine list has an excellent range and extends from our "House" wines through to a Chateau Lafitte 1971. Also featured are wines from France, Germany, South Australia and South Africa.

To finish the night, Langley offers an à la Carte range of 4 distinctive coffee beans, which are then freshly ground and served to you in the Drawing room. A fine Cognac, liqueur or whisky will help round off the night.

...and afterwards ascend the stairs, passing the Garderobes,
to finish the evening with coffee and liqueurs in the Drawing room

Relaxing at Langley Castle

The Drawing Room is the very Heart of the Castle. With arched windows set into seven feet thick walls, stained glass and a blazing log fire help to complement the atmosphere. Then just relax to the tick of the Grandfather clock

The adjacent oak-panelled cocktail bar offers an extensive range of Whiskies, Cognacs, Wines, Spirits, Beers and Minerals.
