Major investment of time and money has seen the hotel change from a traditional resort coach hotel to a contemporary boutique style operation which will appeal to the independent traveller as well as the group travel market that wants a modern bright welcoming hotel with contemporary features, together with exciting innovative menus and high levels of genuine hospitality. Nathan explains how this reinvention has helped the hotel to flourish.
“With major reinvestment of profit year on year since 2002, we are finally achieving the look and feel for the hotel which was just a vision all those years ago. The hotels basement was transformed in to our contemporary bistro style restaurant ‘Peppercorns One Floor Below’. My wife designed and project managed the transformation within three weeks.” Overall, the future looks bright for the Tynedale Hotel, which will continue to adapt in order to offer guests the experience they need, as Nathan concludes.

We offer theme holidays, with Ice bars and gala dinners, we have just launched our April Welsh Gourmet Weekends aimed at the to give our customers a true taste of Wales experience. Careful planning and attention to detail goes into every one of our theme breaks to ensure we deliver a real quality product and a truly wonderful guest experience and we are excited to be offering more of them over the coming years.”
