The Tempus
INTRODUCTION
Wedding staycations don’t get much more magical than The Tempus. A multi-faceted luxury hotel nestled in the Northumberland countryside, electric style and serious romance intertwine at this superb modern hotspot for contemporary couples positioned perfectly on The Doxford Group's privately owned countryside estate.
From the light-soaked restaurant, The Orangery where seasonal delights are served with passion, to the disco-ball-filled, funky fresh bar and phenomenal luxury bedrooms, this is a place for those who want to discover true tranquillity and the latest trends - with fantastic food and drink to boot.
Taking its name from the Latin translation of the word time, The Tempus is home to 17 individually designed bedrooms, bar and restaurant, The Orangery. Having just opened last year, The Tempus fuses cool interiors with incredible hospitality, adding awesome accommodation to the already glistening wedding offerings available at nearby Doxford Barns and Charlton Hall.
TIME TO SLEEP
Now, couples can sleep multiple guests at their wedding, spread out across The Doxford Group's estate from the cosy country-luxe bedrooms in Pole Barn, Farm Cottage and The Lookout to the sumptuous suites in Farmhouse and the beautiful rooms at The Tempus. On that note, we were bowled over on our last visit – each room is individually designed and seeks to transport their guest into a world of luxury. Touch-tech mood lighting, plush kingsize beds, terrazzo tiles, LUSSO bathtubs, apex windows and all the mod-cons (including Nespresso coffee machines!), this is a staycation experience to remember.
Offering both ground and first-floor ensuite bedrooms, each room will appeal to every one of your guests – from the quirky auntie with a 90s style to the country-loving traditionalist. Bringing your pooch along? No problem, just let the team know as they have dog-friendly accommodation available!
BELLE LOVES
Reminisce on the romance of your wedding day and return year on year to celebrate your anniversary! Or why not escape for a sumptuous staycation or mini moon in the Northumberland's countryside.
RELAXED BY DAY, GLAMOROUS BY NIGHT
Crafted by the award-winning team at Jeffreys Interiors, every aspect of The Tempus exudes an aura of magical wonder. By juxtaposing colour palettes, lavish soft furnishings, and a clever play of natural light and materials, the whole hotel creates an ambiance reminiscent of the estate's already-established reputation.
TIME TO WINE & DINE
Couples can head to The Orangery to indulge in a pre-wedding celebration and enjoy the best food and drink Northumberland has to offer! The culinary team at The Tempus serve everything from hearty Sunday lunches with all the trimmings to refined regional fare showcasing quality presentation and forward-thinking flavours. Classic British cooking with a contemporary twist.
Choose to sit in either the maximalist dream of their aristocratic bar with Soho-inspired booth seating, or in the light-soaked rattan-rich orangery – in either you can be sipping on handpicked wines and spirits from across the region.

WE ARE THRILLED TO BE OPENING OUR DOORS AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS OF PLANNING AND PREPARATION. OUR GUESTS CAN EXPECT AN UNPARALLELED EXPERIENCE OF ELEGANCE AND STYLE IN THE HEART OF NORTHUMBERLAND. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING GUESTS TO EXPERIENCE THE WONDERS OF CHARLTON HALL ESTATE AND WHAT THE TEMPUS HAS TO OFFER. RICHARD SHELL
