Four luxury hotels - including two in Northumberland - have been put on the market after their owners decided to retire from the hospitality trade.
Robert and Gina Parker are the owners of luxury boutique hotel group The Robert Parker Hotel Collection, which includes the Dalhousie Castle & Aqueous Spa in Edinburgh, Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa in Alnwick, Ednam House Hotel in Kelso, and Eshott Hall in Morpeth. The couple has announced their decision to retire, leading to the four properties being brought to the market by specialist business property advisers Christie & Co.
Dalhousie Castle & Aqueous Spa is Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle, based eight miles from Edinburgh, with 35 bedrooms, a spa and 2 AA rosette dining in the Dungeon Restaurant, while the 200-year-old mansion Doxford Hall Hotel & Spa is the only hotel in Northumberland to hold the AA’s 4 red stars. The hotel has 41 bedrooms, a spa, 2 AA rosette dining and Europe’s largest yew tree maze in the grounds.
