Matfen Hall NORTHUMBERLAND, UK
Just two miles north of historic Hadrian’s Wall and set within the untamed landscapes of England’s border country, Matfen Hall is a sanctuary of warm grandeur and calm, unhurried luxury. Northumberland is a place of peace and ancient beauty, of big skies and wild history. And, at its heart, set in 300 acres of secluded parkland, this Grade-II listed hall brings tranquil opulence to lands once ruled by the fierce Border Reivers. The region’s only AA five-star hotel, complete with spa and golf course, the 19th-century gothic mansion has been thoughtfully restored to pair heritage charm with every modern comfort. Guests arrive to a warm Northumbrian welcome and the crackling fires, starry ceiling and jewelled light of the Great Hall. The 63 rooms and suites are individually decorated and luxuriously appointed to provide a peaceful retreat with sweeping views of the estate and countryside beyond. The fields, forests and shores that surround
Matfen Hall inspire the estate’s dining destinations. Emerald, Northumberland’s only three AA rosette restaurant, serves imaginative
seasonal menus paired with wines from the estate’s cellar. At Cloisters, diners take their seats beneath a glass ceiling to enjoy salt-aged steaks and local fish by starlight, while The Keepers parkland restaurant welcomes golfers and guests for contemporary dining and spectacular estate views from its sun terrace and panoramic balcony. First commissioned for Buckingham Palace, the
Drawing Room fireplace offers an exquisite setting for afternoon tea. When the sun sets, 1832 bar beckons for golden hour sundowners or a fireside tipple. Guests enjoy full access to the sunlit pool and luxurious thermal suite of The Retreat, with a menu of Germaine De Capuccini rituals. Outside, golfers are joined by native deer and hawks on top-rated parkland courses, and The Keepers lodge offers world-class play and practice experiences. At the doorstep, the UK’s most peaceful national
park boasts the country’s darkest skies and more castles than any region in England. From Hadrian’s Wall walking tours and magical days at Alnwick Castle to stargazing in Kielder Forest, chauffeured experiences reveal England’s hidden gem in style.
DON’T MISS Enjoy spectacular stargazing at Kielder Observatory, in the heart of Northumberland’s International Dark Sky Park
