A refurbished country house in Northumberland will reopen next month for the summer.
The historic countryside retreat of Eshott Hall, near Felton, Morpeth, has been closed for works since 2025.
It is officially opening in June as a rebranded boutique country house hotel under The Wildhive Collection.
Tripadvisor reviews praise Eshott Hall as a 'little gem in the woods' which serves 'excellent food' on 'beautiful grounds'.
Wildhive is a family of distinctive properties, 'each embracing an ethical approach to luxury and comfort', according to its website.
Eshott Hall is an 'elegant Georgian country house hotel layered in history with natural beauty on its doorstep'.
"Set within 37 acres of gardens and ancient woodland, you’ll find beautifully appointed bedrooms alongside charming woodland cabins for those seeking a closer connection to the wild.
"After a day exploring the coast, castles or countryside trails, return to seasonal dining inspired by the land and sea, or simply settle into the calming rhythm of our private haven."
Eshott Hall's Facebook page said the team would 'gently refresh' the house and grounds over the winter, adding 'thoughtful touches to make it feel even more special'.
"When we reopen in June, you’ll find the same familiar faces, the same warm welcome, and the same Eshott spirit – simply with a Wildhive touch.
"Set within 37 acres of gardens and woodland in beautiful Northumberland you will discover relaxing spaces to spend time with friends and family, newly designed spaces by Matt Hulme (Dynargh Design), boutique woodland cabins, and a light and airy Garden Room restaurant & bar leading to a terrace overlooking the walled kitchen garden.
"Wildhive Eshott Hall will offer natural wellbeing at the Coach House, restored walking trails, and peaceful corners to unwind… the transformed Eshott Hall will be a place to slow down, reconnect, and explore everything Northumberland has to offer."
One Tripadvisor review said: "We had a lovely, relaxing break at Escott Hall in August. Stunning grounds and location. The staff were delightful, so helpful and friendly. We brought along our collie who was very well looked after!"
