About Matfen Hall
Matfen Hall is a luxury country house hotel, spa and golf estate set in 300 acres of Northumbrian countryside a short drive west of Ponteland, and it has established itself as one of the North East's leading wedding venues. The grand Victorian hall offers a choice of elegant spaces for ceremonies and receptions, with 63 bedrooms, several dining areas, a spa and top-rated golf meaning couples and their guests can make a whole weekend of it on one estate.
The combination of scale, grandeur and countryside setting makes it a natural choice for a larger or more lavish celebration while remaining close to Ponteland, Newcastle and the airport. As a premier venue, the best dates are reserved a long way in advance, so it pays to enquire early.
