The Tempus Hotel, Charlton Hall Estate, Chathill, Northumberland, NE67 5DZ
Welcome to The Tempus, Northumberland's most stylish boutique hotel, bar and restaurant, perfectly located for exploring Alnwick, Bamburgh, historic castles and the county's award-winning coastline.
Inspired by the Latin word for "time", The Tempus is a place to slow down, relax and escape the pace of everyday life. We invite you to unwind, switch off and lose all sense of time during your stay.
Our award-winning hotel was proudly named VisitEngland Small Hotel of the Year 2026, recognising The Tempus as one of the UK's leading boutique hotels. We have also been featured in The Times Top 100 Best Places to Stay in the UK, recognised as one of the Top 10 Most Romantic Hotels, and received the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award in both 2023 and 2024.
An overnight stay in one of our 48 individually designed bedrooms and suites is an indulgent experience. Every room has been thoughtfully created to the highest standard, ensuring that no two stays are ever quite the same.
Dog-friendly rooms are available. Please call reception directly to book these. Additional charges apply.
At the heart of The Tempus, beyond the glittering disco balls of our bar, lies our restaurant, where you can enjoy our exceptional dining experiences.
Whether you're joining us for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, our menus celebrate the very best seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients. Watch our chefs at work in the open kitchen as they create beautifully crafted dishes, while our elegant afternoon tea offers a delicious selection of sweet and savoury treats.
In our gardens, The Tipi at The Tempus is open every Friday and Saturday evening, serving wood-fired pizzas, delicious drinks and live music from some of the region's most exciting emerging artists.
