Knights Corner Stanhope Castle Reviews

Just enjoyed a fabulous stay at Knights Corner. Everything was perfect for our Christmas Holiday. Hot tub was amazing and huge outdoor area to enjoy. We sat outside with the wood burner on watching the amazing stars under the dark skies. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a holiday in the area. Everything you need is close by also with the main street through Stanhope only a stones throw away. Finally Thanks to the lovely owner Scott and his wife for being so helpful with our queries.
We had a fantastic time. Its very quiet within a beautiful village. Apartment was spacious and well decorated. Once the heating was on it was lovely and cosy too and we all loved the hot tub. The garden is big so plenty of space for the little ones and a swing set.
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in knights corner. The property was exactly as it looked in the photos, the apartment and garden area were huge, even as a party of 6 adults we had plenty of space. The large windows in the property are beautiful, the main one looks out over trees and fields, gorgeous views even in November. The apartment is very tastefully decorated, and cosy and comfortable. We loved using the hot tub. Would love to stay again.
A lovely property situated in a lovely friendly town. Everything we needed was provided. A large garden with swings and goal for football would have been perfect if our grandchildren could have come. Woodland to walk the dog, though she needed to be kept on the lead both by request from owners and from point of view of safety as she was inclined to want to throw herself over the side of steep slopes after the squirrels. Within minutes we could walk to shops, pubs and a beautiful walk be the side of the Weir River. A little further, and we could be on walks into the fells. Thank you for a great week.
We had a great stay at Knights Corner. The house and grounds were lovely, beds were very comfortable, hosts were clear and helpful in their communications, and everything worked well from hot tub to tv. Would happily recommend a stay here.
Our stay at knights corner was lovely. Apartment was very clean, spacious and tidy. It was as well equipped and had everything we needed. Decorated to a high spec. Great location to village. We enjoyed the hot tub especially as it was under cover. Would highly recommend.
A very comfortable property which made for a quiet and relaxing holiday.
Fabulous!
Had a fabulous week in Stanhope staying at Knights Corner. The apartment is spacious, very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub is so good and the bathrobes provided were a lovely touch. Beautiful views from the enormous garden and a stone's throw from the wonderful local shops and the Dales Centre. We felt very welcomed in the village and will definitely return.
Second time staying in knights corner and it was as fantastic as the first, the castle offers all we need and could want as a family and fills the childrens imaginations. Such a lovely big garden space, beautiful rooms and the hot tub is great fun. We all miss the castle and the village the instant we have to leave. Thank you
Had a great relaxing week at Knights Corner. Lovely hot tub and outside area for the kids 13 and 10 to play football etc. Nice clean, comfortable apartment with access through gate onto main street of shops and pubs. One or two things need attention. Cooker hood extractor not working. More kitchen utensils needed such as stirring spoons and spatulas. Spare bin bags would be nice and clarity over which bins to use as there was only one green bin with number 4 on but green and blue ones with number 5 on. Controls for shower in en suite very stiff. Also a torch would be handy as we had power cuts on first night fault of utility provider not owner and sorted following day and we were feeling around in the dark to use bathroom in the night. Otherwise really enjoyed our stay.
What a beautiful setting! We had an amazing half term at Knights Corner, Stanhope Castle. The property was central to everything we wanted to see, we also liked spending time at the property. The garden and hot tub were a hit with the children. We will definitely be coming back!

We all had a wonderful time, the hot tub was fabulous. Would certainly recommend.
Andrew
Really enjoyed our stay. It's a lovely property, with great facilities.
An amazing stay at Stanhope castle. The accommodation was spotless and luxurious throughout and made for a wonderful family mini break. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. Absolutely marvellous will certainly book again.
Kniights Corner was warm, welcoming and comfortable. The apartment was quirky but with all modern facilities and very well placed for the main shopping street. We had a very enjoyable stay.
Really enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing in beautiful surroundings. The Castle apartment was comfortable and clean and we loved the hot tub and the little castle play equipment to keep my youngest entertained whilst we enjoyed a cuppa
Thankyou for a truly lovely stay, we absolutely throughly enjoyed every minute of it from watching the childrens faces light up when we pulled up outside a real live castle, relaxing in the hot tub, movie nights and fun games in the huge garden and wonderful adventures in the deep dark woods. The whole village of Stanhope was amazing and welcoming. We made lasting memories and havent stopped talking about since returning home.
Christine
We had a fantastic stay at Knights corner. Decor, facilities and outside area were amazing. Cant wait to stay again.
Danielle
Our second time staying at Stanhope Castle. A really beautiful spot, good quality and comfortable accommodation, only snag this time of year is the lack of curtains in the bedrooms which meant early starts for the children and consequently us, would have been a 5 star other than that. The space outside is amazing with young kids and perfect views. Were looking to book again for next year again. Both Ruth and Scott very helpful throughout our stay.
Dorothy
Lovely property, hot tub was great, garden was lovely, loved Stanhope will defiantly co sider a return visit. Dorothy G
Belinda
We have just returned from a fantastic weekend break at knights Corner. The accommodation is great and the outdoor area is amazing. Fantastic views, loads of space, best hot tub l have been in and the most private. It was surprisingly quiet outside considering the small bustling town with its three pubs were just at the other side of the walls. Only niggle we had was the blinds in the bedrooms were not good enough to stop light in th e morning so we were up very early. On the positive side it meant we were all up and outside sipping coffee, chatting and enjoying the bird songs and views. Another nice touch was the owners contacted us before we went to double check details and make sure we knew how to get there and how to get in etc. On arrival baby cot and high chair and extra baby snuggle blankets were waiting for us. They also had tea, coffee and sugar!! Finally, the chimenea, gas barbecue and hot tub were fantastic and really made it feel luxurious. Perfect accommodation in a great location with great walks. Enjoy!!!!
Claire
We enjoyed a lovely relaxing stay , Great location out of the back gate into the market square . Clean and well equipped accommodation. Great outdoor space which if you have children is a bonus . The staff were all very friendly and professional. Would definitely return .
Michelle
Had an amazing time at this outstanding property. Absolutely luxurious accommodation with the added bonus of a huge, private garden that we and especially our dog loved. The property was immaculate with lots of loving attention to detail. We loved the location of the property which is right in the centre of Stanhope town with a short walk to the river and three local pubs but only a fifteen minute drive to some great walks in Hamsterley Forest too which we really enjoyed. Stayed for a week and could have quite easily stayed longer in the lovely peace and quiet.
Had a wonderful New Year stay. The apartment met all our requirements and we had everything we needed. The village and surrounding area is peaceful with lovely walks. We dined locally and bought local produce. Evenings were spent relaxing and chilling in the spacious hot tub enjoying the great outdoors under a canopy of lights. The TV worked well and we were able to watch planned programmes. We enjoyed the Cava and chocolates left by our hosts. Nothing to dislike.
Darren
Beautiful property. Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. Hot tub was an exciting extra with a stunning background to unwind after a nice walk.
Radhika
Very nice property, well furnished and comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub and the garden.
Carole
Second stay in this lovely apartment, and we still love it. We had 2 couples and a granny in our party and we had our own rooms, 1 ensuite and 1 shared bathroom, so plenty of room for everyone to get ready and get out without queuing. Kitchen is very well equipped, so you can easily cook and serve your own meals if you dont want to eat out although the cafe in the square was lovely. Did I mention the hot tub? What a bonus! In a bespoke wooden gazebo to keep the rain off, perfect way to end the day not overlooked, and nice to watch the moonrise in the early evenings in autumnwinter. Stanhope is a nice village with a great range of shops for supplies and good road links to Durham and beyond. Only thing stopping me giving 5 stars across the board is the lack of a dishwasher but thats a boys job in my house lol
Joanne
Fabulous holiday. Wonderful accommodation and great location. Details for check in and departure could be a little clearer for example check in was from 3.30 but office only open until 4pm. Had to call to get further instructions on this when this could have easily been in email. Also on departure the email said to check the book for instructions but nothing was in here about rubbish, bed linen, key etc. Just minor things that would help. Accommodation was fantastic
Lovely apartment, garden, grounds and village. We loved it here it was so relaxing. The village had everything we needed close at hand and lovely walks without having to drive. Staying here was staying in the countryside with amenities walking distance, very relaxing and peaceful. Loved the extras in the apartment, toiletries, dressing gowns, cleaning products etc. Our only criticisms would be the bedroom. The blinds do not shut out any light and we were woken early every morning. The main bedroom also needs a new mattress. Otherwise thank you for a lovely holiday
Patio furniture that you can sit at to eat at in periods of warm weather
We went as 2 couples, one of which with a 4yearold, and honestly could not have expected any better. The accommodation itself was stunning as well as the grounds it was set in and the little lad never found himself bored with the playpark on the back garden! Along with that the village itself, Stanhope, was a beautiful little village with absolutely everything you would need right on your doorstep. Quite literally a perfect trip away and one well 100 do again.
Had a lovely holiday, all staff friendly and helpful. Extremely clean and comfortable. Loved the garden the Grandkids enjoyed all the open space, everything you would need in the accommodation and in Stanhope close by. Will return.
It was a perfect week outstanding property the garden having its own park was a bonus for my granddaughter. The property was so clean and had everything it needed we will be back
Andrew
This place is fantastic for a family. The garden is huge , our girls loved running around with our dog and playing on the climbing frame and slide. We enjoyed our time in the large hot tub and the apartment itself was so cosy. The village of stanhope is picturesque and the shops are very close if you run out of any essentials. We would definitely book again. Thankyou for a lovely stay.
Excellent accommodation,apartment was everything and more ,cleanliness was 5 star ,couldnt recommend enough
Enjoyed a very relaxing week at Knights Corner Apartment. Right in Stanhope centre so handy for takeaway meals if your too busy out and about for cooking. Weardale is a very pretty part of the country. Nice walks if you get the weather. We shall most certainly return to Knights Corner again. The only negative was, because I have walking issues, were the seven stairs leading intoout of the apartment, it only being the one way to enter. A handrail would be a great help but maybe as it is a listed building, that may not be possible. A dishwasher would have been very handy also if there was somewhere to have one installed. A very enjoyable holiday and look forward to returning.
Knights Corner is a fantastic place to stay. You are in the centre of the village with entrance off the market square through the castle gate. The hot tub and the garden are very private. You're at the centre of a beautiful area with walks on the doorstep. We had a super vusit and would highly recommend Knights Castle.
