Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsAppShare via Email

Matfen Hall recently underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment, including upgrades to its grand hall, dining areas, bars, and bedrooms. The refurbishment also included meticulous restoration of the building’s Great Hall and the creation of a new bar with a mezzanine level.

The historic estate boasts not only luxurious accommodations but also a championship golf course, spa, and fitness suite. These amenities are slated for further investment and development in the coming months.

AA hospitality inspectors praised Matfen Hall for its luxurious setting, elegant ambiance, and exceptional service. To achieve the coveted Five-Star rating, the place impressed inspectors with its luxurious accommodations, high standards of food and drink, and commitment to multilingual service.

This recognition marks a significant achievement for the hotel and the Walwick Estate Group, which owns the property. The AA Five-Star rating is a symbol of Matfen Hall’s dedication to providing an unparalleled luxury experience. The hotel plans to continue exceeding guest expectations through ongoing investment and improvements.

Sister property to Matfen Hall, Chester Stables, also recently received a Five-Star rating in the Self Catering Accommodation category. This collection of luxurious self-catering stable suites is located nearby in Hexham and is also owned by the Walwick Estate Group.
