Matfen Hall
Matfen, UK · Independent · September 2026




Matfen Hall is a country house hotel set in more than 300 acres of Northumberland parkland, close to Hadrian’s Wall and within easy reach of Newcastle. The Gothic mansion combines historic rooms, stained glass, ornate fireplaces and landscaped grounds with a contemporary 63-bedroom accommodation offering. Rooms and suites range from characterful Classic and Balcony Rooms to larger Luxury Rooms and suites overlooking the estate. Dining is spread across several distinct settings, including the Drawing Room for afternoon tea, Emerald Restaurant and The Cloisters, while the estate’s golf facilities provide an additional reason to stay. Spa and wellness experiences complement the country-house setting, and the atmosphere is relaxed, polished and rooted in the landscape rather than formal resort convention.
