The Battlesteads Hotel and Restaurant in Wark, Northumberland, has been brought to market with an asking price of £1.6m.
The country hotel dates back to the mid-1700s and features 22 bedrooms, including five luxury lodges with bedrooms/sitting rooms, bathrooms, skylights and south-facing terraces.
The property is also home to a restaurant, a bar with an open fireplace, a function room for private parties and gatherings, and a conservatory with a retractable roof and further seating. To the rear is a covered patio terrace for al fresco dining, overlooking a west-facing walled garden.
The business has won multiple awards for its sustainability credentials and self-sufficiency, including the North East Chamber of Commerce ‘Green Business of the Year’, Visit England Awards of Excellence ‘Sustainable Tourism Business Gold’ and AA Hospitality Awards ‘Eco Hotel of the Year’.
It has a Biomass Boiler, 36 solar panels, on-site laundry facilities, and fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers are grown on site in climate-controlled polytunnels.
The Battlesteads is located on the edge of Wark and is popular with tourists travelling to visit destinations such as Hadrian’s Wall and Kielder Forest and Water Park.
Mark Worley, director at Christie and Co, who is managing the sale process, said: “The owners of Battlesteads should be commended for their sustainable and eco-friendly business model, which not only helps to save the planet, but also goes a long way in providing the very healthy profits generated by the business.
“The biggest challenge for hospitality operators in the current climate is increasing utilities charges for heat, light and power, plus the cost of produce for food and beverage consumption. Battlesteads’ ethos of growing fruit, herbs and vegetables on site, plus the savings made and income generated by the huge solar panel and biomass boiler, as well as the green laundry operation on site, massively reduce their outgoings.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
