Fifty-six bedrooms on a 3.7-acre site at Coatham Mundeville
Hall Garth occupies a 3.7-acre site at Coatham Mundeville, three miles north of Darlington. That is the plot the agent is marketing. The property's own site and The Northern Echo of 4 February 2025 describe 70 acres of parkland. The two figures measure different things.
The country house hotel holds 56 en-suite guest bedrooms, a restaurant, a bar, and meeting and event space for up to 160 guests. The parking areas hold more than 150 vehicles.
The Revive Spa and the 160-guest event space
The sale includes the Revive Spa, recently refurbished, with a gym, sauna, steam room, hot tubs and treatment rooms. The venue draws income from corporate and leisure stays, weddings, conferences, spa memberships and private events. North England Estates has updated the spa and several guest bedrooms during its tenure.
North England Estates has held the hotel since 2012
North England Estates has owned and operated the hotel since 2012, according to the agent's listing. The Northern Echo reported on 26 September 2013 that the hotel had been taken over by North of England Estates Ltd earlier that month. Both dates are the respective parties' own statements.
The owner's wider collection trades as The Squirrel Hotel Group, which The Northern Echo reported as four privately owned hotels. The property's nine-hole golf course closed with effect from 31 March 2025. The current marketing describes a hotel, leisure and events destination. Colliers' listing URL still carries the legacy name hall-garth-golf-country-club-hotel.
Smithson on location and the buyer range
Robert Smithson, director in the UK Hotels Agency team at Colliers, said the hotel offers a well-established business with multiple income streams. He said its location between York and Newcastle, and its proximity to the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales national parks, supports year-round demand from corporate guests, tourists, weddings and events. He said it will appeal to owner-operators and to investors who want to expand in the UK hotel sector.
What the marketing does not publish
The marketing carries no trading figures, no net operating income, no room rate and no completion timetable. The agent publishes no statement on the current level of interest. Colliers' own release is timed 1 October 2026, and Hotel Owner's report is a same-day republication of the agent's material.
