Coquetvale Hotel, Station Road Rothbury, Morpeth, NE65 7QJ

An elegant and very well presented four storey, detached 14 bedroom Victorian hotel, located close to the centre of one of Northumberland's largest towns. The hotel is ideally situated to capture the tourist trade from the multitude of attractions which the area has to offer such as the National Park, Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Water and Forest Park and of course the fabulous Northumberland Coastline.

On the ground floor are two apartments which are presently used for staff and management, but these could be used as letting accommodation if required, or they could be converted to additional food and beverage space.

On the first floor there are the restaurant and bar, both spacious rooms and open plan and each boasting high ceilings, period feature and lovely views across Rothbury and the hills and woods beyond. Also on this floor is the breakfast room and the former wedding ceremony room which could easily be reinstated if need be.

The large and well designed catering kitchen is also on this floor and well positioned to service the bar, restaurant and function/breakfast rooms.

The Coquetvale Hotel was built in the 1870s by Lord Armstrong, a prominent Victorian era industrialist, engineer and philanthropist who constructed the hotel for his guests who would arrive to visit his nearby Cragside Estate, now a prime National Trust centre and renown as the first house in the world to be powered by hydro- electricity. The grandeur of the façade and some of the main rooms within the hotel are still testament to its notable history.

There are 14 en suite double bedrooms across the 2nd and 3rd floors, and all are of good size with the main suites being of excellent dimensions and with spacious bathroom/shower rooms and lovely elevated views across the town and beyond.

To the front of the hotel there is ample car parking whilst at the side is a very pleasant, decked terrace with lawned area behind. Given the sunny aspect and beautiful views, this is a great draw for both guest and non-resident trade derived from either the town or from day-trippers or from the caravan park and bed and breakfasts nearby.

On the ground floor are two apartments which are presently used for staff and management, but these could be used as letting accommodation if required, or they could be converted to additional food and beverage space.

This is a great opportunity for a buyer to purchase a historic and handsome hotel in a lovely tourist town on the edge of the stunning Northumberland National Park.
