The Tempus, Northumberland

Built from stone, slate, and timber salvaged from the estate's old farm buildings, The Tempus manages to look like it has always been there without actually being old. It's a 52-room country house hotel on a historic Northumberland estate, an hour from Newcastle, with beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces paired against leopard print and florals. The Orangery does classic British cooking and Sunday roasts; a proper tipi handles wood-fired pizza when the mood is less formal.
