Matfen Hall | Luxury Country House Hotel

Matfen Hall is a striking 19th-century Gothic mansion located close to Hadrian’s Wall, in Northumberland, England. It became a hotel in the late 1990s and underwent a major refurbishment in 2021. The hotel has a modern touch that highlights the building’s grandeur. The Great Hall, with its double oak doors, log fire-warmed reception, and stone walls with tapestries, sets the tone for the hotel's style and character. The 53 rooms are split between the new wing and the original hall, with the latter offering the full country-house experience. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well thought-out with luxury touches such as Penhaligon bathroom products and monogrammed towels and pillowcases. The hotel's restaurant serves exquisite meals, and there are several areas to relax, including a bar-lounge with parkland views, a cosier bar with garden views, and all with real fires. Matfen Hall is an ideal country retreat for those looking for a relaxing and indulgent experience.
