Battlesteads Country Inn & Restaurant

Originally built as a farmstead in 1747, this four-star Inn and Restaurant features a well stocked bar and cosy fireplace with wood-burning stove in the winter and a sunny conservatory within a secret walled garden for enjoying the sunshine.

Our bar has 5 cask-ales including Durham Magus, Wylam Gold Tankard and both Black Sheep Ale and Black Sheep Special and our wine list runs to over 20 varieties.

Battlesteads was a Temperance Hotel in the early 20th century, so we also provide very tasty organic Lemonade, Dandelion & Burdock and Ginger Beer from Fentimans of Newcastle.

Green Tourism Gold

Battlesteads is officially one of the greenest hotels in the UK - despite being housed in an 18th century farmstead the hotel is firmly placed in the 21st century with a state-of-the-art woodchip burning heating and hot water system, locally sourced food from award winning suppliers, our own polytunnels growing fresh herbs and vegetables and lots more - check out our green page for more details!
