Guests are invited to unwind in individually decorated rooms, each fitted with a TV, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, trouser press, hospitality tray, and a spacious en suite bathroom.

At the Oakroom Restaurant, residents can sample a wide variety of a la carte dishes crafted using locally sourced produce, while a selection of beverages can be enjoyed by a roaring log fire or on the garden terrace.

Groupon’s Guide To Northumberland

Hiking trails and cycle paths weave through the natural beauty of Northumberland’s rolling fields and along the windswept shores of the sweeping coastline.

The bustling market town of Morpeth is stuffed full of gems, including a 13th-century chantry housing a bagpipe museum. Travellers may enjoy the award-winning Carlisle Park, which offers an opportunity for river boating and tennis, while the promenade takes in the ornamental hedges and trees of the William Turner Garden. A 50-minute drive through the countryside will bring guests to the Alnwick Castle and its adjacent gardens. Alternatively, visitors may take a journey to the Palladian facade of Paxton House, found on the banks of the River Tweed. This stately home sits on 80 acres of land and boasts a picture gallery which houses over 70 paintings. A short way over from Paxton House stands the walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed whose Elizabethan fortifications were built to keep out invading Scots, now a fantastic viewing point for modern day visitors.
