Matfen Hall is a 19th century country mansion in Matfen, Northumberland, England the seat of the Blackett Baronets and now also an hotel and country club. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The manor of West Matfen was owned in the 13th century by Philip de Ulcote and passed through his sisters to Felton, by marriage to Hastings and later to Lawson. In 1625 the estate was bought by Lancelot Fenwick of a branch the old established local family of Fenwick Tower. The manor and manor house, West Matfen High Hall, was sold in 1680 to John Douglas. His granddaughter and Douglas heiress married Sir Edward Blackett Bt. in 1757, thereby bringing the estate into the Blackett family.
The present house was built to replace the old manor, in 1828 for Sir Edward Blackett, 6th Baronet. The impressive Jacobean style mansion has a three storey seven bay entrance front. An important internal feature is a full height Gothic hall.
Sir Hugh Blackett, the 12th Baronet and Lady Blackett have converted their home into an hotel and country club.

Matfen Hall is now a magnificent, privately owned, country house hotel set in the beautiful Northumbrian countryside close to Hadrian’s Wall. The fantastic new Spa & Leisure complex is open, along with a brand new state of the art conference room and extra luxurious bedrooms. Each of Matfen Hall’s 53 bedrooms have their own charm and character combining modern facilities with traditional opulence. All rooms are en-suite, with satellite TV, direct dial telephone and all the amenities you would expect. The Premier and Executive rooms are particularly spacious with seating areas and luxurious bathrooms. Four Poster bedrooms are also available for that extra special occasion. Exquisitely furnished with book or print lined walls, the Library and Print Room Restaurant is much more than a hotel restaurant. For those who are serious about their food it is a genuine fine dining experience. A member of Classic British Hotels.
