Welcome to The Coach House — Northumberland's Best-Kept Secret
Under new ownership since December 2024, The Coach House is a beautifully restored country house hotel set within the historic Otterburn Hall Estate in Northumberland National Park. Originally built in 1870 to house the stables and coaches serving Otterburn Hall — the private retreat of Lord James Douglas — the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, characterful place to stay.
With 14 individually styled en suite bedrooms, a lounge bar and restaurant, and 500 acres of private grounds to explore, The Coach House offers something no chain hotel and no city break can replicate: genuine, unhurried peace in one of England’s most spectacular landscapes.
Two lakes, a waterfall, ancient woodland and open deer park — all on your doorstep. Walk for hours without leaving the grounds.
Northumberland National Park holds International Dark Sky Park status. On a clear night, you can see up to 2,000 stars, the Milky Way and passing meteor showers from the estate.
Red squirrels, deer, wild birds and more call the Otterburn Hall Estate home. This is the kind of wildlife encounter most people travel hours for — here, it's just outside your window.
England's largest public observatory is a short drive away. Our team can help you plan an evening visit and point you to the best stargazing spots on the estate itself.

Every room at The Coach House has been designed with comfort and calm in mind. Whether you’re here for a long weekend, a walking holiday, a wedding nearby or simply a proper break from everyday life, you’ll find a quiet, well-appointed room waiting for you.
