The Details

Situated in the heart-stopping Northumberland countryside close to Alnwick and Bamburgh, this exquisite boutique hotel offers a collection of 41 beautiful bedrooms and suites across its estate.

The hotel is tucked within the enchanting Charlton Hall Estate, and is the wildly stylish sibling to the award-winning Charlton Hall – famed for its eccentric charm and unforgettable events. Named after the Latin word for “time,” this unique hideaway invites you to slow down, switch off and soak up the surreal, dreamlike atmosphere that surrounds you. Whether you're lounging in lavish interiors or exploring the amazing grounds, you'll find yourself deliciously disconnected from the everyday.

There are an abundance of incredible rooms and suites for you to choose from, but all of them are opulent and designed for pure comfort and indulgence. Each room is different, but they all share a combination of quirky design features and super-comfy furnishings. Think ornate headboards atop giant comfy beds, or unique and vibrant wallpaper combining with marvellous colour palettes.

The rooms offer a combination of romantic couple’s escapes and cosy family getaways. There are double rooms that sleep two and family rooms with a pair of king size beds or one king and a pair of twins. Some of the bedrooms even feature opulent free-standing copper baths, for relaxing soaks, and all of the bedrooms have their own luxury ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Some rooms even have direct access to the terrace seating area, meaning you can pop out for a drink in no time.

During your stay, make sure you head to The Orangery, the hotel’s incredible on-site restaurant, to enjoy a whole host of culinary delights. Whether you’re there for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, you can indulge in menus crafted for pure pleasure. Watch the chefs in action in the open kitchen as they serve up seasonal flavours, local flair and a touch of theatre. From elegant afternoon treats to à la carte delights, it’s a feast for all the senses.

The bar at The Tempus is open daily, serving expertly crafted cocktails, exceptional wines, beers and a selection of coffee, tea and tempting bar snacks. Whether guests are in search of the perfect wine to pair with dinner, a celebratory cocktail to toast the weekend or a relaxed coffee after check-in, the bar offers something for every moment.

You’ll also love The Tipi, which is a cosy spot to relax with loved ones whilst listening to live music and enjoying delicious artisan wood-fired pizzas along with a selection of seasonal drinks.

If you venture out and explore the beauty of Northumberland, there is so much to see and do. From award-winning beaches like Bamburgh and Embleton to iconic castles including Alnwick and Warkworth, the area is steeped in history and charm. The Tempus sits along the scenic Northumberland 250 route - ideal for a memorable road trip. Discover hidden gems like Howick Hall, Barter Books and Ad Gefrin whisky distillery. For family fun, don’t miss Alnwick Gardens and Lilidorei.
