    Sir Ralph was renowned for his bravery and played a key role in the defence of Berwick-on-Tweed in 1388 but he was also involved in a conspiracy to overthrow Henry IV, a failed coup that led to Sir Ralph being imprisoned and later executed in 1400.

    Today, visitors can immerse themselves in the castle’s fascinating history by staying in one of the hotel’s richly decorated rooms, including four-poster beds, elegant drapes and some even come with the hotel’s signature secret bathrooms!
