Doxford Group to open new lakeside cabins as part of expansion

The Doxford Group will be opening eight “luxurious” lakeside cabins on its private countryside estate in Alnwick this spring, expanding its accommodation capacity to sleep up to 100 guests. 

Each of the Lake Cabins at The Tempus will be designed for two guests and will feature a private terrace with views of the estate’s lake and grounds.   

The Northumberland-based hospitality group has continued its collaboration with the team at Jeffreys Interiors to ensure that each lakeside cabin “seamlessly complement the estate’s existing accommodation”.

In addition to the new cabins, guests will have access to The Orangery restaurant and bar at The Tempus.

Richard Shell, owner and director at The Doxford Group, said: “This new development marks an exciting chapter in the group’s journey as we continue to expand our current offering on our estate. This is the first time we have ventured beyond the immediate perimeter of Charlton Hall and forms part of the broader expansion that will see additional leisure facilities, designed to provide even more opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. 

“As we continue to grow, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of luxury and comfort for our guests, ensuring each stay is not only exceptional but a truly memorable experience.” 

He added: “We have seen a rapid increase in demand for onsite accommodation over the past four years, and we are proud that we will be able to host up to 100 guests from spring 2025. This expansion is a testament to our team’s dedication and the continued support for our valued visitors.”

The Lake Cabins at The Tempus form part of the second phase of the estate’s development.

In May 2023, The Tempus opened a 15-bedroom hotel, bar and restaurant, and has since seen the addition of two new ground floor bedrooms – bringing the total to 48 on the estate to date.
