Tillmouth Park Hotel

Tillmouth Park Hotel is a hotel built in 1882 by Charles Barry Junior, located on the site of an earlier house from around 1810. The building features ashlar stonework with a rock-faced ground floor and a Lakeland slate roof, designed in an Elizabethan style. It has three storeys and three bays, with a lower four-bay wing to the right. The ground floor has a battered appearance. The central bay projects and includes a porch with a multi-moulded, four-centred-arched doorway, a cornice above, and a carved crest beneath the gablet. Above this entrance is a large four-light stair window with two transoms and a semi-circular drip mould that bears the date on a shield. The gable features a three-light mullioned window. The flanking bays have three-light windows, with mullioned windows on the ground floor and mullioned-and-transomed windows above. A parapet with a cornice and corbel table adorned with Tudor flowers caps the building. The corners feature rounded corbel projections with ball finials, and the gabled roofs have hipped projections at the front. Two-light gabled dormers with decorative bargeboards complete the design.

The garden front has five bays with a projecting central bay, in front of which is a flight of stone steps with side walls.

Inside, there is a three-storey wood open-well stair supported by arched braces. The interior features heraldic glass around the door and in the large stair window, along with several marble fireplaces from the earlier house, dating from around 1810. Many of these fireplaces have fluted down-tapering columns with bulgy Corinthian capitals. The original central heating system remains intact, complete with elaborate cast-iron grilles. The building is constructed with cavity walling.

Drawings related to the hotel are preserved in the Northumberland Record Office.
