I’ve been dying to stay at The Tempus at Charlton Hall for ages after seeing it across Instagram. After a few long weekend at work we decided to just book up and go for a night. It’s not too far away for us so it was an easy little drive up late afternoon.
It’s sometimes nice to get away from all the hussle and bussle of life for a night. It’s not too long ago we went to the Crowdy Hall for the same thing.
The rooms
I was blown away by the room we had, with booking up quite last minute we didn’t know what to expect. The room was one of the nicest I’ve stayed in. The room was spacious and had everything you need, from wardrobe space to a mini fridge. There was also a bathtub in our room which we were surprised at, made it so much more special. One thing I loved about the rooms was the fact you can adjust your temperature in your rooms. So you could adjust the underfloor heating and air con if needed. All of the finishing touches were amazing. The Tempus at Charlton Hall really didn’t spare any expenses on the decorations and comfort aspect!
The restaurant
Depending on the deal you get, you have the option to have bed and breakfast or even dinner bed and breakfast. We opted for bed and breakfast but still grabbed dinner in the restaurant. For an evening meal the menu is quite limited but varied. We opted for a steak as there wasn’t much else we liked. The steak itself was amazing and cooked perfectly. It also came with the nicest onion rings I’ve ever had. I usually hate them and I ate them all! Drinks are a little bit pricey but it’s a nice treat.
Things to do nearby
Depending on your preference there’s loads to do nearby. From nice walks up Thrunton Woods or Simonside. To popping to the Running Fox for afternoon tea. To going for a stroll through Alnwick or the coast. There is loads to do in Northumberland and it’s the most beautiful coastline!
I really loved our stay at The Tempus at Charlton Hall. They look to be opening a tipi soon so I’m keeping an eye out for that! I think I already need another already!
