Northumberland may not have big cities with grand and glamorous hotels, but this huge and sparsely populated county offers its own version of grand accommodation with many of its stately homes and country houses â and even a castle â turned into luxury hotels. Often surrounded by acres of grounds and woodland, and sometimes with a spa, these hotels also offer the luxury of peace and space. In other cases, cosier but equally lavish bedrooms are found in more modest-sized inns or historic buildings. Here s our pick of the top luxury hotels in Northumberland in and around locations including Eshott, Chathill, Alnwick and Hadrian s Wall.
