Eshott Hall in Northumberland under new ownership as part of The Wildhive Collection

Eshott Hall, currently under ownership of the Robert Parker Hotel Collection, will continue to run as usual until late 2025 when it will transition to a Wildhive hotel.

Located in the village of Eshott between Morpeth and Alnwick, the 17th century country house will become Wildhive’s second site alongside Peak District hotel, Callow Hall.

The new owners have plans to refurbish the main house and create outdoor accommodation in the wild, much like their existing property which features luxury tree houses.

The Wildhive Collection was founded by Ed Burrows and Charles Randall.

Ed said: “We have spent a long time looking for our second site, wanting somewhere that fits our long-term vision and we’re excited about the possibilities at Eshott Hall.

“There is a strong team in place at the hotel that we look forward to nurturing and we’re excited to work with the brilliant team at Visit North East England to bring more people to this fantastic part of the country.”

Charles adds: “We’re excited to announce our second acquisition in the stunning county of Northumberland.

"This move aligns with our long-term strategy and company vision to provide out-of-the-ordinary guest experiences in destinations that celebrate heritage, culture and natural beauty and we’re looking forward to giving guests a warm Wildhive welcome.”

Eshott Hall is one of four properties which was put up for sale by owners Robert and Gina Parker due to their plans to retire, including Doxford Hall, near Chathill, which has yet to be sold.
