Type: Country House Hotel

Welcome to the Otterburn Tower – Country House and Restaurant. Located in 32 acres of its own lawns and woodland in the small village of Otterburn. The first ‘Tower’ on the site dates back to a cousin of William the Conqueror in the 11th Century. Throughout history the ‘Tower’ is mentioned, in the battle of Otterburn 1388, and even today descendants of the D’Umfraville family visit the hotel. With this long history the Otterburn Tower is quite unique. The Garden Room with its Florentine marble fireplace and high ceilings has French windows opening to the lawns and our new lake. The 18 en suite bedrooms are all individually designed, some have four posters and some suites all with the comforts you would expect from an AA 3 star award hotel. We take pride in using local produce in the restaurant, recognised by Les Routiers and recently awarded Two ‘AA’ rosettes. Last year we created a new lake in the hotel grounds and we have renovated the old stables giving a new place to eat out and socialise - The Tower Inn and Stable Bar. This offers great value food served all day. We are a private hotel with a friendly team of staff that want you to make the most of your stay with us.
