About the Blackcock Inn

Falstone is the capital of the Upper North Tyne, the name said to be derived from Anglo Saxon meaning “Stronghold”. The Blackcock Inn is an award winning 17th century Inn (the first and last in England) traditionally built in local stone and situated in a picturesque village next to the stunning scenery and wildlife of Kielder Water & Forest Park.

The homely bar with exposed beams and log fires (in winter) offers a warm welcome and service, a friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Stay with us and take advantage of discounted midweek/weekend breaks that include two course evening meals.

We are near Hadrian's Wall with its Roman forts and museum, Castles, Hexham Abbey with its 1300 years of history and Saxon crypt and a local Bird of Prey Centre. This is an ideal location for walking, cycling, fishing and boating and there is a Beer Garden, an equipped children's play area and Tennis Courts. We welcome pets with our 5 Paw Accomodation providing water bowls, squeaky toys and Bonios. So if you are looking for a wild and romantic place to savour, an oasis of calm to recharge the spirit then the Blackcock Inn is the perfect all year round destination where there is no schedule but your own.

The Blackcock Inn Food

Chatto's is the name of the intimate restaurant which the Head Chef has transformed into an oasis of fresh produce, cooked to order making full use of local suppliers (meat purchased under the Quality Assured Scheme) thereby cutting “food miles”. On offer is an a La Carte evening menu with Specials changing daily as well as a lighter lunch alternative. Vegetaran options have been awarded a Golden Gourmet Rosette and children can choose from their own menu. Food events are arranged throughout the year e.g. Curry Week, Seafood Week, Vegetarian Week that focus on some of the Chef's specialities. By visiting the Blackcock Inn you can also celebrate “Class In A Glass” with one of the local cask ales or wines from the exclusive wine menu and then complete the taste and experience with a malt whisky, port, brandy or liqueur from the After Dinner Drinks Menu.

The Kielder Experience is waiting for YOU...

Tucked away at the head of the North Tyne Valley, close to the Scottish border, lies the stunning Kielder Water & Dam with its 27 mile shoreline surrounded by the expanse of Britain's largest forest, the varied landscape reflecting the mood of Northumbria. The most tranquil place in England where beauty runs far and deep and where forest and water unite to provide a wide range of leisure opportunities to suit the interest of every visitor. The lake shoreline and forest glades can best be explored on foot, cycle, horseback or mountain bike where two of the best single track trails in England (differently graded) can be experienced. Guided exploration is provided by both the Forest Enterprise and the Northumberland National Park in their What's On programmes of events and activities. As one of the largest lakes in Northern Europe, Kielder Water is able to offer a wide range of water based activities from water skiing and windsurfing to the more relaxing boating and angling, while the cruiser “Osprey” offers an ideal way to explore the lake.
