The Estate

The romance of rural France — without leaving England

Le Petit Château was designed to feel like a private French estate deep in the Northumberland countryside. Reclaimed timber, exposed stonework, statement chandeliers and vintage furnishings create an atmosphere that is both opulent and deeply romantic. At the heart of the estate sits The Chapel — a purpose-built ceremony space with a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful garden views. Hidden in the grounds, The Treehouse honeymoon suite offers the newly married couple complete seclusion among the trees, with contemporary luxury and panoramic countryside views. Every detail has been considered to give couples the feeling of a destination wedding — with nothing to organise but the day itself.
