The Hall
Description
The Hall, a Grade-II listed, stone-built mansion, has been lovingly converted back to its former glory by the current owners, and is the perfect destination for large groups of families or friends wishing to enjoy time together in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
The stone balustrade steps lead to an impressive entrance porch, opening into the Great Hall, where plush sofas, high ornate ceilings and a roaring open fire welcome you to this very special luxury holiday home.
To the right of the entrance hall is a magnificent dining room with Italian open fireplace, views over the lake and gardens, and a table which comfortably seats 24 guests.
To the left, a beautiful, hand-carved oak staircase leads to the first floor.
There, you will find an assortment of sumptuous seating areas to either nestle down with a book, or gather together and exchange tales of the day’s activities; choose from the gallery snug, the ground-floor light and airy orangery or the sumptuous formal drawing room, which has its own adjacent small, well-equipped kitchen.
From the ground floor, the staircase leads up to seven spacious king-size bedrooms with panoramic views and en-suites, a double bedroom with adjacent bathroom, and two twin rooms with en-suite facilities, plus four handy day beds can also be used within these rooms.
On the ground floor is an additional sitting area, the perfect spot for rainy days, as well as a superbly-equipped kitchen, offering everything you could need for a social gathering; catering is fully flexible, either self-cater or contact the owners who can organise staff to cater for your every need.
If you prefer to bask in your surroundings a little while longer, French doors from the orangery lead to a terrace, tailor-made for sunny days relaxing and sipping something bubbly.
Or for the more adventurous, stick on a pair of wellies and explore the glorious grounds, with woodland walks and boating lakes for all to enjoy.
If you can tear yourself away, there is plenty to see and do on your doorstep; the whole of the Heritage Coast is tantalisingly close, with castles and beaches galore.
This truly is a very special Belford holiday home for that long-awaited Northumberland break.

What guests are saying
NO HOT WATER FOR FIRST 3 DAYS
I think the house itself was excellent, that being said, the heating was broken on in some rooms leaving them unbearably hot.
Furthermore, we had a caterer for one night and the kitchen fuse tripped. We had no access to turn it back on and no one answered any of the calls. It lead to a lot of food in the fridge and freezer being wasted as well as the cater having to go hope to cook the food and bring it back. Everything outside of this was fantastic.
Absolute Disgrace — Unsafe, Unclean, and Deceived by Management.
Absolutely do not trust the management of The Hall at Middleton Hall Estate. We booked this premium-priced property for a special family occasion, expecting a high-standard luxury stay. Instead, we were sold a freezing, neglected, and unsafe house. 1. No Heating & Unusable Rooms (Major Health Issue): We arrived with a 6-month-old baby, children, and elderly guests in their mid-70s to find the heating entirely broken. The caretaker "hoped" it would come back on and offered just two small electric heaters for a massive, freezing historic house. Ultimately, FOUR out of ten bedrooms had zero heating for our entire stay, making them completely unusable. Looking at past reviews the owner knew about this faulty system and rented it out anyway. 2. Complete Ghosting and Deception: When the heating failed, the emergency contact vanished. He initially acknowledged the disaster and promised a refund/compensation—but the moment we left, he completely ghosted us and ignored all communication. 3. Appalling Cleanliness and Maintenance: The property feels completely abandoned (we were told on-site it was recently repossessed, and it shows).Filthy: We had to clean the kitchen and dirty cutlery before we could even eat. Carpets are heavily stained, bathrooms were unclean, and walls are damp and badly patched up. Broken Amenities: Zero underfloor heating (as advertised), broken taps, a constantly running bathroom tap, non-functional dining lights, and virtually non-existent Wi-Fi and water pressure. Unsafe Grounds: The play park in the upper gardens is broken and completely unsafe. Worse, there was loose rubbish and broken glass scattered in areas where our children wanted to play. Trapped Doors: One of the bedroom doors gets stuck when closed. If we hadn't caught it early, family members and luggage would have been trapped inside.
