Northumberland-based hospitality group, The Doxford Group has announced the addition of eight luxurious lakeside cabins on its private countryside estate in Alnwick.
Set to open in spring 2025, The Lake Cabins at The Tempus will be situated on the estate’s picturesque lake, expanding the group’s accommodation capacity to sleep up to 100 guests.
Each cabin, designed for two guests will feature modern amenities including a private terrace that offers breathtaking views of the estate’s lake and grounds, ensuring a tranquil and luxurious retreat in Northumberland.
Continuing the collaboration with the award-winning team at Jeffreys Interiors, each lakeside cabin will seamlessly complement the estate’s existing accommodation, offering stylish interiors and exceptional comfort.
In addition to the new cabins, guests will have access to The Orangery restaurant and bar at The Tempus, further enhancing their stay with exquisite dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Lake Cabins at The Tempus form part of the second phase of the estate’s development, reinforcing The Doxford Group’s dedication to offering unforgettable guest experiences in the heart of Northumberland’s countryside.
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.

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