Charlton Hall Estate

We visited the Tempus after a day at Holy Island on the way home. I am so glad we did. From start to finish the experience was nothing but exceptional. The venue is stunning as is the food! The attention to detail is superb and the staff go above and beyond to ensure the best service. Steak cooked to perfection and a dessert to die for. Will definitely be back to try the Sunday lunch in the future!!

My daughter and I stayed overnight to celebrate her birthday and enjoy the Northumberland area. We were delighted with the Hotel, our room was spacious and clean. We ate in the restaurant for both breakfast and lunch and were very happy with the choice of food offered and quality of food. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and we appreciated the lovely touch of a birthday card and chocolates left for my daughter on her birthday. We will definitely return and would recommend the Hotel to others.

So much more than we expected. We arrived not knowing what to expect. It totally exceeded our expectations. Full of character, super clean, modern, friendly staff. Restaurant food perfect. Cant praise it enough, we will return, a gem. We stayed at the pole barn.

Stayed here overnight in a family room for a wedding. Aesthetically lovely building, fixtures & fittings and bedding felt luxurious. The setting was so pretty and the kids loved running around the grounds. Facilities in the room were good but the air con wasn’t great. Due to the nature of the room (upstairs in what looked like a converted barn) there wasn’t much natural light, which I can imagine would be nice and cosy in winter, but in August it felt quite stuffy and dark. It would’ve been better if there were roof light windows installed. Breakfast was ok but the service was slow and there wasn’t a lot of choice at the self-service station. For the price of the room (£320 a night) I would have expected a five star experience, it was nice, but not worth the price. Checkout was 10am, again I would’ve expected a bit later checkout for the price.

Absolutely loved it and the hotel grounds and staff our barman Alex and Liz serving the greatest food and intoxicating cocktails .the beauty of this place was so magical as was the stay. Can't wait to get back 😁 the rooms we're so beautiful and bathroom too was just done up so well I really can't express how fabulous this experience really was

We stayed for three nights in the Tempus Hotel. Warmly welcomed by reception and given a large room on the second floor, which was built into the eaves, when we opened the door, it took us a minute to take in the immaculate decorating, whoever the interior decorator was did an amazing job. The Bathroom, with his and hers basins, wet room shower and a bath again were immaculate. Large very comfortable bed, choice of lighting switch, including in the wardrobe (complete with bathrobes) There was a fridge with complementary bottled water and two comfortable chairs. Shame the room was let down by the cleaning, floor needed sweeping and surfaces a dusting. Both the Restaurant and Bar were again immaculately decorated. We had Dinner in the restaurant on two nights, both the food and service were first class. Breakfast with a great choice from a buffet as well as a hot food, service was again great. The hotel is off the A1, north of Aldwick, part of the Charlton Hall Estate, with the Hall and several separate accommodation buildings making up the estate. There was a large modern venue on the side of the Hall and a self-contained Marquee in the garden, both looking to be great wedding venues.

The experience was highly disappointing. We booked a three-night stay for my partner's 50th birthday at the "lookout." Regrettably, a strong sewage odor from the external septic tank prevented us from using the hot tub, enjoying the outdoor space or having windows open. The sofa was uncomfortable, with cushions that were worn and in dire need of replacement. The TV had an unstable connection. This was supposed to be a special getaway, yet we did not feel like valued customers. After lodging an initial complaint, we were assured of a follow-up that day, but no one followed through. We had to take the initiative to contact the manager, who eventually offered us a refund equivalent to roughly one night's stay, which did little to alleviate our disappointment. The only nod to my partner's significant birthday was a basic paper card from the hotel, which felt cheap and insincere.

A beautiful location with great parking and lovely surroundings. The decor of the whole place is very quirky and that was great. We had a large room on the ground floor and upon entering you were met with a rusty drains smell, which we think was coming from the shower outlet. We did mention it to reception and they out bleach down it but the smell returned at night. The other thing was the beds were all made up the next morning and new towels provided but the hand basins didn’t even get a wipe round, which is noticeable when they are a dark colour. The restaurant was a lovely experience although I struggled a bit as am vegetarian and ended up with burrato salad two nights, but it was very tasty. We had two lovely nights in the restaurant and the girls serving us were lovely. Not sure we would stay again but it is very quirky.
