A 15-bedroom boutique hotel with a 100-cover bar and restaurant, offices, and conference spaces was transformed into a bold and imaginative retreat by Jeffreys Interiors. With a £3.75 million budget and a two-year timeframe, the vision was to create a one-of-a-kind destination that would stand apart from traditional venues. Designed as a fusion of eccentric wonderland meets countryside escape, the project embraced daring design, ensuring it would be a talking point for all who visited.

Located on a 150-acre country estate in Northumberland, the former cattle sheds were reimagined into an immersive, visually striking space. The aim was to craft an experience that was impossible to ignore, where guests would return time and again to explore a new room or rediscover a favourite retreat. Every space was carefully curated to create a sense of wonder while maintaining a level of comfort that welcomed all visitors. The Gin Gang, once a wheelhouse, was transformed into the hotel entrance, preserving its original stone and wood while incorporating a Vincent Van Gogh inspired neon installation that swirled through the rafters.

The library was designed as a dark, moody retreat, with hand-painted tortoiseshell panels, Venetian plaster, and verre églomisé mirrors. In the restaurant, antique arches frame a mirrored private dining nook. The bathrooms became an attraction of their own, featuring emerald Venetian plaster, terrazzo tiles, and pink concrete sinks.

Each of the 15 bedrooms feature custom headboards, distinct fabrics, and cabinetry in a spectrum of colours, ensuring that no two stays are ever the same, solidifying the hotel’s status as a truly unique destination.
