The Estate House, an elegant Edwardian home, is a pet friendly hotel located in the centre of Ford Village, in the heart of Northumberland's "Secret Kingdom", between the A1 and A697. The tranquility of the setting is enhanced by the garden of about an acre which is surrounded by magnificent mature trees and views towards the Cheviots - the ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
All of our bedrooms are fully en-suite and have a colour T.V. with Freeview. There is a clock/radio, hospitality tray and hairdryer. The rooms are named after the families who have owned Ford Village: Joicey is named after The Joicey Family who have been owners since 1907. It is a twin room overlooking the gardens with views of the Cheviots; Waterford is named after Lady Waterford, who was most responsible for creating Ford as it looks today. She was a skilled artist and her works are on display in The Lady Waterford Hall. This is a double room with views of the Lady Waterford Memorial Fountain; The Heron Room is named after the family who owned the Ford Castle at the time of the Battle of Flodden. This is a double room with views overlooking the village green.
Evening meals are available by arrangement and our breakfast menu caters for a variety of tastes. We use as much local, organic, and home grown produce as possible and packed lunches are also available. We also run the Heatherslaw Tearoom at Cornhill-on-Tweed. Situated in the old granary at Heatherslaw Mill, enjoy scones, snacks, sandwiches and light lunches in relaxed and pleasant surroundings overlooking the River Till. Families are welcome and high chairs are available. |
