The Tempus at Charlton Hall Estate

Large bathroom. Hospitality tray refreshed daily. Comfortable bed. Private parking lot

A very clean and up to date hotel with an excellent restaurant for both breakfast and evening meals

The restaurant was excellent and the hotel was in a very convenient location for days out.

The complex is very nice, the room was small for the price but everything was there, walk-in shower was excellent, the restaurant was nice but expensive, breakfast was great. EV chargers are available, slow and very expensive, I know these costs more, but over 10 times the price of home charging. The main problem was the acrid smell of raw sewage. We had to keep all windows closed, unable to sit outside where a table and chairs were provided. We did inform them at reception, but this did spoil our stay. I felt annoyed that for nearly £500 we had to put up with the smell of raw sewage for two nights.

Enjoyed our stay , lovely room and breakfast / dinner very nice in the restaurant . Would recommend for base exploring Northumberland coast

Lovely place for special occasion, think the service charge at restaurant is unnecessary

Booked last minute but absolutely wonderful! I couldn't fault anything

Beautifull surroundings,welcome from the staff was good,room very clean and tidy. Room was very warm though,room small too.

The hotel was very comfortable and the décor modern and lively.

Unfortunately, the check-in at this hotel was one of the worst I’ve experienced. Firstly, they do not accept American Express, which was inconvenient and not clearly stated in advance. The receptionist then struggled to process my alternative card, insisting it didn’t work. I politely asked her to try again and of course, the card worked perfectly the third time, confirming it was a user error on her part. What made the situation worse was her lack of apology or acknowledgment of the mistake. Instead, her attitude was dismissive and unnecessarily rude. She did not appear to have the experience or professionalism required for a front-facing role, which set a poor tone for the stay.

This is a lovely hotel. We had a room in the Pole Barn which had its own outside seating. The seating here could do with being a wee bit more comfortable, but it was a nice touch. The room was small but very well-designed - controllable temp and lighting, a fridge and a great bathroom. The restaurant was lovely - big, airy and stylish. The food was excellent adn the main bonus was the staff -friendly and helpful without fail.

Hotel was great good food, rooms were clean and well.maintained. loved the colourful decor. A Sauna would have made it perfect.

Amazing hotel. Always so welcoming and the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have the best stay.

Great stay from start to finish, all the staff were very friendly, room was big and had everything we needed, breakfast this morning was spot on.

Lovely hotel, let down by the restaurant's food. We had a lovely time at The Tempus hotel. Our room was a Junior Suite and was large, well decorated, clean and confortable. The reception staff were very welcoming and showed us to our room. The bar and terrace were nice - we were lucky with the weather so were able to sit outside. The surroundings are lovely. The resturant however lets the hotel down. We had dinner and breakfast. At dinner, the waitress who took our order did not know the menu and incorrectly answered our question about what was included with the Pan Fried Fillet of Pork - she told us it came with Potatoes but it didn't. My wife had the Fish and Chips. Both of our meals were overcooked. I ate mine because I was hungry. She sent hers back. To their credit, they gave us desserts on the house, which were good. Breakfast the following morning was OK, but nothing special.

This was our second visit to Charlton Hall and this time stayed in The Tempus. It didn’t disappoint. Everything is well thought out, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated. We ate in the Orangery a couple of times, both of which were delicious. The staff are attentive and courteous. What’s not to love! We will return!

The food was very good in the restaurant. The decor everywhere is lovely. It has a nice setting, staff were very pleasant. The smell of sewage outside in the area where our hot tub was awful and wasn't good when trying to sit outside apparently an ongoing problem. The sofa bed also needs to be renewed I sat on the end and fell through it. My poor kids had to sleep on it.

The accommodation was fantastic and extremely comfortable, the service and friendliness of the the staff was excellent, the restaurant catered for our dietary requirements and the food was superb. would go back again

My husband, daughter and myself stayed here for a little night away! The design of the place is really something else, we really loved the quirky interior design. The rooms were spacious with everything you need inside. We decided to stay for our evening dinner and we were really impressed with the food and the breakfast was also lovely. We loved the surrounding area, it really is a lovely little place, quiet and out of the way but enough to do you don't have to leave the complex. We enjoyed it so much we're looking to book again later in the summer! Staff are lovely and so friendly, we really had a lovely time!

We’ve stayed at Charlton Hall a few times now and it never disappoints! The grounds and hotel are immaculate, truly such a peaceful place that is the perfect base for exploring Northumberland.

We stayed for 1 night en-route from Yorkshire to the Scottish Highlands, and we were absolutely gutted..... because we wished we had booked for longer! We had room 101 and it was simply beautiful. I actually cant fault a thing. We will definitely be back.... but for longer next time :)

Our stay was excellent , our original room was having maintenance work done so we were upgraded to a Boutique suite which was beautiful , staff were excellent and friendly , evening meal in the restaurant was excellent with a nice atmosphere , and the breakfast was spot on and well organised with no queue for anything and was very calm , all in all a very nice stay.

Really good, lovely staff , definitely would book again

A lovely warm welcome. Friendly staff and well appointed room. A good menu and an enjoyable stay

We had a wonderful stay at Charlton Hall on 2nd December 2024, as a mini moon for our wedding. The building, room and facilities were beautiful, the menu delicious and the staff attentive and friendly. It was a pleasure staying there.

Our stay was perfect from the off ! We stayed in the look out which came with a hot tub. Dinner was amazing went for chicken and beef dish followed by a cocktail by the fire. After dinner headed to hot tub and it stated to snow 🙌.Staff were excellent and never felt rushed.

Such a nice place to stay

Stunning property, appeared almost brand new. Comfortable beds, great food and attentive staff. Can not fault!

Stayed for 2 nights Fri/Sat, booked dinner for the Fri as we didn’t want to drive out anywhere. The food was amazing! So nice we booked dinner again for the Sat night. Took off Saturday morning to do the local parkrun but managed to get back before breakfast finished, although we cut it fine the staff were amazing and looked after us and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms were amazingly well decorated and the hotel looks fab, whoever does the interior design has a great eye! The only thing I’d wish they had was a spa, would have loved a sauna or steam room to chill in. Brilliant stay though

We stayed in the Farm Cottage, which was lovely, clean, comfortable and spacious. A nice quiet place to relax with fabulous views across the countryside.

A lovely place , room was excellent and quiet . Only let down was food ( dinner and breakfast ) . Looked lovely on plate but was bland and disappointing

Room was lovely. Breakfast was great. Staff welcoming and friendly. Bed was uncomfortable unfortunately.

Will never get over this hotel! Most amazing place I’ve ever stayed. Beautiful setting, gorgeous room, amazing food and service. Will definitely be back!

property was warm, cozy and clean. food very good. we would have preferred not to have shared with breakfast area with dogs

Stayed in a junior suite, it was beautiful. Can not fault this hotel and will definitely return

Loved everything except they need a lift for luggage

This was our first time staying at the Tempus within the Charlton Hall Estate. Very impressed with the hotel - polite and friendly staff. Excellent restaurant- we had dinner and breakfast. The food was beautifully cooked! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Will definitely return!

Unfortunately the heating in our room was stuck on and the room was too warm. Reception staff were great and moved us to a higher grade room at no additional cost. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Idyllic complex in the heart of the countryside. Peaceful and very relaxing. Exquisite decor throughout. Staff very friendly and assisting.

Such a relaxing and welcoming stay, thanks to the fantastic staff who just made it perfect. Our little baby loved it too! Highly recommend, also very easy to get to other lovely places around the coast.

We were visiting the area and particularly Alnwick Castle for our 43rd wedding anniversary. The Tempest has a very eclectic and boutiquey decor and vibe which is a nice change from the usual chain hotels. The property has a rural setting yet not too far from civilisation. Ample and easy parking available. The external appearance is a nice mix of traditional styling and design around original stone buildings with a modern contemporary twist to the newer elements. As we booked late we only had the choice of a room overlooking the car park but some of the larger rooms have full height gable windows with panoramic views over the countryside. From check-in to check-out, all the staff we encountered at reception, in the dining areas and housekeeping were friendly, polite and courteous. The quality of accommodation and ambience was superb in consideration of the room rate. Will definitely return when we are back in the North East.

Great stay, lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

Fabulous location , great attention to detail , nice variation of accommodation

A truly unique establishment, and a great place to stay

Lovely room in a lovely hotel. We were there for a wedding at Doxford Hall which was only 5 minutes by car. Quiet location, lovely to hear the birds in the morning. Nice touch having the teepee on site for the football.

A very nice venue and lovely to have a small outdoor space in which to sit with a cup of tea or coffee, but with a few disappointments along the way. Service at the bar was poor. There was no ginger ale for my husband's whisky and no choice of gin for my gin and tonic. Nor was there any ordinary tonic, only slimline, which I dislike. Restaurant service on one of our two days was very slow. On the plus side, breakfast was delicious.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely room. Restaurant excellent and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Lovely quiet location with lovely building. Room very good although entrance from outside and no venue umbrellas available. Also doors to room very difficult to lock and open. Room cleaning was not great with spoons left uncleaned in sink on 1st day. Food in restaurant was good although breakfast waitress was very unhelpful and abrupt.

The decor and furnishings were of high quality

We stayed for 2 nights - first in a tempess room and second night in the lookout. Pros - -the main hotel was immaculate -the tempess hotel room blew us away -the hotel grounds are incredible -staff were extremely hard working and friendly Cons -asked for a vegetarian breakfast to be told they had no black pudding or vegetarian sausages? We were also advised by waitress that vegetarian food was not cooked seperately to meat -the lookout was dirty, the doors covered in cobwebs, the door to hot tub would not lock, the sofa bed was unstable, it was a let down compared to the main hotel -unless you book in advance it impossible to get a suitable dinner reservation (glad I took snacks for my children to eat) -one vegetarian starter or main option for dinner (if you manage to get a reservation -unable to get any children’s cocktails in the teppee so you have to walk back to main hotel and que again -service at the bar was very slow, the bar man was lovely and worked as fast as he could - not enough staff causing long wait times at the bar (15 mins for 1 drink) The hotel grounds are breathtaking and the main hotel rooms are beautiful. We did not enjoy the lookout at all and would not recommend it. Due to the lack of dining availability/ options and slow bar - we would not return.

Excellent stay in a beautiful hotel the room was large and had a magnificent bathroom. The breakfast was very good

We had the best day and night at charlton hotel and the tempus . The rooms were beautiful, clean, relaxing with everything you would possibly need very impressed with all of the staff nothing was too much trouble for any of them all super friendle xx As for food its second to none just lovely .would recommend to everyone. Thankyou to you all .

Nice place, nice staff.

Fantastic hotel , brilliant staff , comfortable and modern bedrooms , a must stay if I. The area

The hotel was amazing. Beautifully designed with high quality finishing and products. However, the bed was not comfortable.

I loved everything about this amazing place the tempus is beauty the design , the staff and the food loved it all !

Really a lovely place to stay, staff were great will be staying there again

On considerable disappointment with the first room we were put into (small bed, little furniture, tiny window overlooking car park, accessible wet-room) we paid to upgrade to a lovely room upstairs. The extra cost was unwelcome but worth it. The area is lovely.

Charlton Hall is a beautiful hotel. Food and service was excellent. We will definitely return.

Stayed two nights. Initial impression not good, our room was very small for a couple. You could only exit the bed from one side. Probably my fault for not studying the detail carefully enough when booking. Asked for help and staff were very good and moved us for a small fee to a lovely room. Very helpful friendly staff, rooms, bedding, towels crisp and clean. Restaurant busy both nights but no long delays and good choice and excellent quality. The decor is 'quirky', may not be to everyones taste but brought a smile to our faces. Wish the main house decoration had less plastic plants and a few real plants!

Great location and comfortable room.

We stayed 1 night with dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversay Enjoyed stay The photo of the country house is not where you stay so thought that was misleading The place you stay is a separate building- saying that it is very new so lovely place. Bedroom was a bit dark for my taste and bathroom large but in my opinion not practical

It was a beautiful hotel in a stunning country setting. All the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. One criticism I am reluctant to mention, I personally don’t like to see dogs in the dining area . It was only one dog which I am fairly sure was not a guide dog and to see a waitress petting the dog and then serving food is a big no no for me. The restaurant is very modern and beautifully decorated.
