It sits on the sprawling Charlton Hall Estate (you drive around half a mile down private country lanes off the main road to reach it) among 150 acres of fields and woodland, around six miles from the rugged Northumberland coast.
Bamburgh Castle and its vast beach is just 20 minutes away by road: the long sandy stretches of Alnmouth Beach are around 25 minutes; and the enchanting Holy Island (which is cut off by tides half the day) is roughly a 30-minute drive.
The hotel is made up of a collection of buildings (some renovated and some new), including the Main House, the Farm Cottage, the Farmhouse, the Pole Barn and the Lookout, set around beautiful gardens.
Situated just off the A1 in Northumberland between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, The Tempus is conveniently located to reach by road yet feels right in the middle of nature.
The closest train station is Alnmouth, which is 12 miles away and Newcastle International Airport is 40 miles.
