The Lord Crewe Arms Hotel, Medieval hotel in Blanchland, England
The Lord Crewe Arms Hotel occupies a stone building from 1165 with twenty-six bedrooms decorated in colors reflecting the Northumberland landscape.
Originally constructed as a guest house for Blanchland Abbey, the building served as a refuge during the 1715 Jacobite rising behind its stone walls.
Notable guests including W.H. Auden, Philip Larkin, Benjamin Britten, and Sir Peter Pears selected this Grade II listed building for their stays.
The hotel provides walking maps, a boot room for hikers, and serves full English breakfast in the Bishop's Dining Room or through room service.
The structure contains hidden stairways and a fireplace where General Tom Forster sought shelter, leading to reports of his sister Dorothy's ghost.
