Clennell Hall, Grade II listed country house in Alwinton, England.
Clennell Hall is a Grade II listed country house in Alwinton that incorporates a fortified pele tower dating from the 16th century within its fabric. The building provides ten individual guest rooms plus two shared bunk accommodations designed for group stays.
The estate came under the Clennell family's ownership in the early 1600s and remained with them until 1749. That connection ended when Philadelphia Clennell married William Wilkinson, transferring the property to his family line.
The property sits in the Coquet Valley, where the night sky is exceptionally dark and free from light pollution. This quality makes stargazing from the grounds a memorable part of staying here.
The property is best reached via minor roads through Coquet Valley, as the approach follows rural lanes. Visitors should plan ahead for meals and supplies since the location is remote and facilities are limited nearby.
The ground floor Rievers Room occupies space within the original medieval fortified tower and preserves structural elements dating to the 13th century. This room offers guests the unusual experience of sleeping directly within historic defensive walls.
