Loved by Battlesteads guests
"We chose the luxury room which turned out to be a little lodge style with a balcony area to stargaze."
"It is the most eco-conscious hotel we've ever stayed in, with it's own garden, solar panels. and I believe a rain catcher?"
"We were allocated a lodge and were just blown over by the facilities provided."

“Battlesteads strikes me as a thoughtful blend of Northumberland charm and modern eco-consciousness; its commitment to sustainability, underscored by a Gold Award from Green Tourism, is genuinely appealing. I'm especially intrigued by the on-site observatory, which uses the Dark Sky Park location to wonderful effect, offering guests a unique stargazing experience. It's a place that seems to care about both its environment and its guests' experiences.”

fine countrysidepoor communicationconfusing menus
The location is great with roads offering fine countryside views.
The kitchen seemed to lack communication with the front of house staff. I asked about a tasting menu, but was not offered it. The staff should also know when items on the a la carte menu are unavailable. I ordered something they did not have. Two breakfast menus caused confusion since there was no explanation and they served toast before any cooked items, so it was likely cold.

really good northumberland experience
comfortable bedspacious bathroomfresh fruitmissing screw
the king size bed was very comfortable, offering a restful sleep. i appreciated the spacious bathroom in my room, it had plenty of room to move around. fresh fruit and daily refreshed cookies were a lovely touch. the room also included an ironing board and a large desk fan (i didn't even need to ask for these things!).
I noticed that the maintenance in the room was not perfect. The wardrobe doors were missing a screw, so they did not shut properly.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast offered both continental and full english options, providing plenty of choice. i observed garden birdfeeders from my table in the airy conservatory area. the dinner menu had limited items, however the chef seemed to present options to accommodate various tastes.
Facilities

the hotel has lodges who might prefer a more individual experience (i stayed in the main building, though). it is conveniently located close to the main village road. traffic seemed light around the hotel's location near the village road.
