Matfen Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa

No complaints about the hotel and staff, excellent location with fantastic views of the golf course from hotel and clubhouse. Would liked to have had a discount on drinks as in previous years, for a 12-player group.

You must visit Matfen Hall. It is the largest family owned spa hotel in Northumberland with 27 holes to play on the well manicured parkland golf course. Excellent practice facilities and a par 3 course too. Food is excellent. Rooms are completed to a high standard and staff are very helpful. Book it now!

My husband, myself and two friends have stayed at Matfen before but this time we asked to be upgraded and we were not disappointed. Rooms were beautiful, very well maintained and furnished. Breakfast was very good, but one comment would be that tables could maybe be larger to accommodate everything which would make the staffs life easier too. Our meals/snacks at Keepers Lodge were very good and Keith, Pam, Ian and the chefs excellent.

Well appointed hotel with attentive but not intrusive service - very comfortable.

Comfortable spacious rooms all located close to the hotel facilities All very clean and tastefully furnished. A very friendly feel to this hotel. And the staff were very helpful

Originally we had booked to stay at Marr Hall on the Clyde, a venue that we had stayed at before and would have gladly returned to had the weather forecast not been horrendous for the duration of our stay!

Luckily, YGT were able to facilitate our request for a change of venue to Matfen Hall in Northumbria.

Travelling from Edinburgh following the A68 on the sat-nav was fine and the last 4 miles were really interesting going along a single track road to the village of Matfen. We shall have to revisit that route when we return in the future!!

The hotel looks stunning and the premier room we stayed in was beautifully appointed, with a fantastic view over the golf course. After our last round of golf we decided to try out the spa facilities and we were not disappointed; very nice and just what we needed after a weekend’s golf.

Before teeing off we had a light lunch at the Keepers Lodge where the prices are sensible and the staff are very pleasant; we were off to a great start!

The course comprises of three nine hole loops and should appeal to golfers of all abilities. There are some challenging holes which I really enjoyed. Matfen Hall has a very good, free dowloadable app that does flyovers over each hole, making it slightly easier for anyone playing the course for the 1st time.

As it was an early birthday present to me, we ate at the restaurant which, while obviously costing more, boasted fine dining and very attentive staff.

We really enjoyed staying at Matfen Hall and shall definitely return. The whole experience was very enjoyable and cannot thank YGT for all of their assistance.

A challenging course especially for higher handicappers but this didn't detract from the enjoyment. The course itself was in great condition in pleasant surroundings. No complaints from our group.

Wide forgiving fairways. You’ll love it

Time on course over three days was fine, fortunate with weather which was a bonus.

The course was a fairly long course with sometimes long walks from Green to the next Tee which was often poorly signposted. Provided you played reasonably straight there were few hazards. Pleasant surroundings and bird life.

Very enjoyable

Well kept course. They were trimming the edges of the greens before we had breakfast. Very forgiving fairways. Good sand in bunkers. Smooth greens all of the same pace. Marvellous
