Established hospitality and events company acquires hotel near Gateshead

Situated on the western edge of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, Park Farm Hotel consists of a four-bedroom Grade II-listed Georgian house with 12 letting bedrooms arranged in a courtyard mews to the rear, set in four acres backing onto farm and paddock land.

Although the hotel business closed in 2024, it was a highly popular family-run operation which once successfully featured on the TV programme Four in a Bed.

Andy Simpson, Director of Hangover Weekends, commented, “Our plan is to transform the property into two large, short-term rental properties, each comfortably sleeping upwards of 18 guests. The location should appeal to both families looking for a rural escape and also groups looking to take advantage of being just five miles from Newcastle city centre and all its amenities.

“The listed part of the property will remain in keeping with its history and farmhouse-style aesthetics, and we will also be carrying out some landscaping work, adding hot tubs and fire pits to create some excellent outdoor social spaces for guests to enjoy.  We are also rebranding and changing the name to Tyne View Estate - Farmhouse and Stables.”

Handling the sale for Christie & Co was Mark Worley, Director – Hotels, who added, “Despite its closed status, the sale of this property generated a tremendous amount of interest from viewers and potential buyers across a wide variety of sectors, and for numerous ongoing usage schemes. Our seller clients live adjacent to the property and so were cautious about who would be their new neighbours, however, such was the level of professionalism from the team at Hangover Weekends, that an instant bond was formed, which is hopefully the beginning of a longstanding neighbourly relationship.”
