“Redesdale Arms struck me as more than just a place to stay; its location within Northumberland's International Dark Sky Park makes it a unique base for stargazing. The consideration given to diverse dietary needs, with comprehensive vegan and gluten-free options, stood out. As a beautifully maintained 16th-century coaching inn, the Redesdale Arms delivers both character and a relaxed atmosphere.”
