Luxury golf resort with Lee Westwood-designed courses in Northumberland countryside
Golf at Close House
Close House is home to the only two Lee Westwood-designed golf courses in the UK: the Colt and the Filly. The Colt course offers challenging hilly terrain with views across the Northumbrian countryside, while the Filly provides a flatter, more forgiving layout. The on-site PGA Golf Academy is equipped with Toptracer technology for practice and coaching at all skill levels.
Dining & Bar
The award-winning No.19 restaurant serves high-quality British cuisine made with locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Guests can enjoy brunch, lunch, dinner, and high tea in the restaurant or relax in the sophisticated No.19 bar. An exceptional breakfast is included with many stays, offering a Northumberland breakfast option.
Accommodation
The hotel offers a range of rooms, suites, and lodges set within a 250-acre estate. Each accommodation is equipped with air conditioning, a private bathroom, and scenic views of the golf course or countryside. Some lodges include private hot tubs and outdoor furniture.
Location & Activities
Close House is 10 minutes from Newcastle International Airport and 15 km from Newcastle city centre, with easy access to Hadrian's Wall and the Tyne Valley. The 250-acre estate provides opportunities for cycling, squash, and golf. Guests can explore the beautifully landscaped grounds and enjoy the peaceful countryside setting.
Business & Events
The hotel offers top-rated facilities for corporate events and business hospitality, supported by a dedicated event team. Meeting and banquet rooms are available for conferences, weddings, and golf society gatherings. Flawless service and professional staff ensure successful events.
“This establishment presents remarkable value, particularly when factoring in the included dining. Rooms are surprisingly spacious, often feeling more like suites, and the quality of the food rivals that of more exclusive dining rooms. Its setting on private grounds adds a serene dimension to what is already an exceptional find.”
