Haunted Hotels in North East England

Reputedly haunted hotels and inns in Northumberland and County Durham

See the Haunted Hotels UK Index

Haunted Lumley Castle HotelLumley Castle
COUNTY DURHAM

Lumley Castle.
Chester-le-Street. If anywhere was likely to have an otherworldly resident, Lumley Castle should. After all, the place has been standing for around six centuries and has seen a fair slice of English history. Indeed, some say that several spirits inhabit the building, including ‘Lily Lumley’ and a brace of priests. Reviews can be found at Booking.com and LateRooms.com

Blackwell Grange. Darlington. Some have called her the Tartan Lady believing the female ghost said to inhabit this early eighteenth century house of Scottish origin. Practical details can be found at both Booking.com and LateRooms.com

Redworth Hall. Newton Aycliffe. Alas, there’s little available information available other than Redworth Hall possibly being haunted by at least two spirits. Either way, it remains a most sturdy and attractive mid-18th century building. For rates and reservations, go to Redworth Hall’s entry at either Booking.com or LateRooms.com

The Ancient Unicorn. Bowes. The story behind the alleged haunting of this old 16th century inn has a certain Romeo and Juliet theme – lovers who were forbidden from meeting by their families. But ‘Edward and Emma’ aren’t the only ghosts to have been seen here – the cellars have been the scene of sightings of a young boy on several occasions. Reviews available courtesy of TripAdvisor

The Manor House. West Auckland. The origins of the building are said to be 12th century, so rumours of ghosts are almost to be expected. See Booking.com and LateRooms.com

Walworth Castle. Darlington. Numerous sightings and strange occurrences over the years suggests that any spirit arriving at the front door would find a “house full” sign. And there is, of course, the ubiquitous “Grey Lady”. See our main historic hotel page for Walworth Castle

Whitworth Hall. Spennymoor. Somewhat a rarity given that the ghosts at this Best Western hotel have names: Elizabeth Bessie Hewitson (who passed away there in the 19th century), and Bobby Shaftoe himself. See Booking.com


Haunted Langley Castle HotelLangley Castle
NORTHUMBERLAND

Langley Castle. Hexham. One of Britain’s true castle hotels, Langley dates in parts from around 1350. It is - as one might expect from its being in this section – the abode of a ghost. But given the extremely favourable independent reviews by former guests, the supernatural plays second fiddle to hospitality. See our main historic hotel entry for Langley Castle

Otterburn Tower. Otterburn. Very Old? Yes. Haunted? Apparently. Booking.com

The Bay Horse Inn. Stamfordham. Built as a farmhouse as long ago as 1590, this village inn has previously been investigated by ghost hunters following rumours of ghostly activity. Within easy reach of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Bay Horse is a rural option for those visiting the famous city. Reviews at TripAdvisor

Warkworth House. Warkworth. Ghost-hunters will probably want to stay around the top floor of this 18th century coaching inn – the spectre of a butcher is reputed to have been seen here on occasions. Read reviews at Booking.com

The Lord Crewe Arms. Blanchland. Parts of the building are said to date back to the 12th century, and there can be little doubt that the place has witnessed much of the region’s history. Rumour has it that the hotel is haunted by a lady called Dorothy Forster – she is said to have hidden her brother here during his attempt to escape his enemies during the Jacobite Rebellion. Reviews can be found at Booking.com

Schooner Hotel. Alnwick. Some places try to hide the fact that they’re hotbeds of supposed paranormal activity, but the same cannot be said for the Schooner Hotel. The place has twice been accorded the title of Britain’s most haunted hotel by the Poltergeist Society, and that researchers reckon there have been as many as 60 otherworldly characters here at some time or another. See Booking.com

Chillingham Castle. Alnwick. Do ghosts actually exist? Well, if they do then there simply have to be some here. See our main page devoted to the history of Chillingham Castle
