This stunning mansion set in 4 acres of award-winning gardens is situated on the edge of the Nothhumbrian countryside, yet only 10 minutes' drive from the Newcastle city centre. The hotel is within a 10 minute walk of the historic Ryton with its ancient church and selection of cafes and restaurants. It is only one mile from Hadrian's Wall walk. The house is only a 10 minute journey from Newcastle centre and 5 minutes from the MetroCentre shopping complex. This is a relaxing environment where a warm welcome is guaranteed. Hedgefield House has the interesting distinction of being the 1st private house in England to have a private telephone. Alexander Graham Bell was related, by marriage, to the Simpson family who built the house. Due to covid situation, we are unable to offer meals, all prices are on a room only basis.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

Property information

Hedgefield House is a late Georgian manor house, built by John Simpson, a local coal mining entrepreneur. It stands in large wooded gardens, which divide naturally into the Walled Gardens, the West Lawns with koi pond and the Woodland Dene. All this tranquility, yet only minutes from Newcastle city centre. We are a family-run business and always try to give a personal service.

Neighbourhood information

We are a short drive from Newcastle city centre, the Gateshead Metro shopping complex, Hadrian's Wall and the lovely open countryside and the Northumbrian coast.
