The inn also offers The Granary Cottage, a self-catering option sleeping four. It has received awards from the AA and Visit England, including a five-star gold rating for its rooms. The Duke of Wellington Inn remains a family-friendly, dog-welcome establishment that prides itself on locally sourced food and a warm, community-focused atmosphere.

The Duke of Wellington Inn, originally known as 'The Board', was established circa 1800 in Newton, Northumberland, as a working inn offering board and lodgings to local workers and travellers through the Tyne Valley. In 1834, it was renamed The Duke of Wellington Inn to honour the Duke of Wellington's victory at Waterloo nearly two decades earlier. William Fewster is recorded as the earliest known innkeeper, and his family ran the inn through much of the nineteenth century. The Symms family, known for agricultural engineering, also became part of the inn's story. The inn was extensively refurbished in 2010 and has since received awards from the AA and Visit England. It remains a central gathering place for the village, continuing its tradition of hospitality.
