about the hotel

This attractive Georgian house, once owned by the third Lord Derwentwater, now offers today’s visitor a rare retreat for true
relaxation, along with a central point for venturing through the delights of North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Breakfast and dinner are served in the beautiful and romantic dining room where food is presented with the utmost care. Our cellar is stocked with a huge choice of reasonably priced fine wines.

All public rooms and bedrooms are non-smoking. Smoking is only permitted in the 'Puffin' - a separate building located  near the entrance.

Relax in the gardens or in the comfortable lounge and adjacent library. For those seeking the simple pleasures of walking - the sandy shore offers mile upon mile of beautiful scenery.

From this tranquil setting it is easy to find the treasures of the Heritage Coast, including the magnificent castle at Bamburgh, just two miles away.

The Farne Islands, scene of the daring exploits of Victorian heroine Grace Darling, is reachable by boat from nearby Seahouses and the famous garden at Alnwick is just a short car
journey away.

WiFi internet access is available in the lounge and library areas and in some rooms. A laptop is available for guest's internet use.
