The Experience

Originally the abbot’s lodge and kitchens (and its garden the cloisters), the Lord Crewe Arms has become a Grade II*-listed inn. Inside: ancient flags, inglenook fireplaces, fortress walls and a classy country decor. Public areas range from lofty to intimate and the atmospheric bar is in the vaulted crypt.

Local lad Paul Johnson has returned from working alongside Nathan Outlaw and running his own pub in Wylam to showcase the very best of local and seasonal produce on his menus and there are several different spaces to enjoy it, including the Gatehouse, a foodie haven, and the vaulted pub. Wines include great burgundies and clarets, ales range from Allendale’s Golden Plover to Nel’s Best from High House Farm.

Hugely comfortable bedrooms are divided between The Angel and the former tied cottages. Some have exposed stone walls and real fires; all have soft carpets, fine fabrics, well-dressed beds and deep baths.

Reviews

Prepare to be wowed by ancient flagstones, heavy oak doors, roaring fires and medieval-style chandeliers at this beautifully restored historic inn set in a timeless estate village surrounded by wild grouse moorland. Country-smart rooms are very cosy, the food is local, seasonal and delicious, and the area is perfect for walking (routes, maps, drying room) and star-gazing (binoculars provided).

David, Sawday's Inspector

A fantastic hotel and restaurant. We (family of 4 plus grandmother) stayed for 3 nights while we were visiting Hadrian's Wall. But we would have been happy to spend all of our time at this hotel. Local walks from the hotel took us up onto the moors and through fields and forests. The staff was sharp and friendly. And dinner at the restaurant was a welcome close to each day. I look forward to coming back for some fishing in season.

Location

The neighbourhood

The village, in a sheep-clad valley on the moors' edge, was built with stone from the abbey's ruins and is very attractive. You're surrounded by glorious, rugged countryside and there are gentle walks around the village and onto the moors or something more strenuous in Kielder or Hamsterley Forest. Visit Hadrian's Wall, Durham for some fine independent shops, and Hexham for a farmers' market.

Local points of interest from Sally Barker

  • Perched in the peaks on the North Pennine moors a stay at the Lord Crewe Arms must include some dabbling in our Goings' on. With Shooting, Walking, Fishing and Sailing quite literally on the door step pack your boots and stride out!
  • Located in Britain's most productive and exhilarating Grouse Moors, the Lord Crewe Arms is all geared up for guns and dogs. With a gun room, boot and drying room, and a chef with a knack for game its the ideal hunting box for the season.
  • Just a couple of country miles from the Lord Crewe is the Derwent Reservoir. With a thousand acres of open water on offer and its own club with hire available its the perfect place to sail, whether your a beginner or a dab hand.
  • The North Pennines is famed for its rich array of walks and located in the pretty village of Blanchland, the Lord Crewe is perfectly poised to explore. With OS maps and a varied list of 'favorites' heading for the moors is a must.
  • The Lord Crewe Arms has its very own private stretch of the River Derwent for guests to enjoy. Quite literally at the bottom of the garden, the challenge to land a native 'broon' trout is yours from March until September. Rod hire is available.
  • Used as England's cycling teams stomping ground; the North Pennines is a hidden gem for spinners. With bikes and maps available for guests of the Crewe, wheel your way through some of England's most varied and dramatic landscapes.
