As England’s least crowded county, Northumberland offers plenty of space for retreating from the crowds into your own private world. No bustling cities; no commuter traffic. The coast beckons with miles of dune-backed beaches while inland there are the soft green Cheviot Hills and wilder moorland, plus spectacular Hadrian’s Wall with its horizon-stretching views. Sprinkled around are sturdy villages with welcoming inns or charming small hotels that are perfect for quiet stays. Then there are the grander affairs like castles and Georgian stately homes – several of which tempt with a spa or an indulgent afternoon tea (or both). Here's our pick of the most romantic hotels in Northumberland in locations including Chathill, Eshott, Blanchland, Alnwick, Otterburn, Corbridge, and near Hadrian's Wall.
