Boutique hospitality brand The Wildhive Collection has acquired Eshott Hall in Northumberland. The historic 17th Century manor in the village of Eshott will mark the group’s second site, following Wildhive Callow Hall in Derbyshire, which opened in September 2021.
Having acquired Eshott Hall from The Robert Parker Collection, the hotel will run as a going concern until late 2025, when it will transition to a Wildhive hotel.
The plans are to fully refurbish the main house and create “experiential” accommodation in the wild, much like Wildhive Callow Hall.
Eshott Hall is located between Alnwick and Morpeth, and near to the Northumberland Coastal Path, nearby Farne Islands, as well as the castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick.
Ed Burrows D.L. co-founder of The Wildhive Collection said: “We have spent a long time looking for our second site, wanting somewhere that fits our long-term vision for The Wildhive Collection and we’re really excited about the possibilities at Eshott Hall.
“There is already 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.”
The Wildhive Collection co-founder, Charles Randall, added: “We are very 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.”
