About

Packed with character, warmth and charm, High Force Hotel is an idyllic rural retreat in picture-perfect Upper Teesdale. Our 10 individually-designed en-suite rooms combine traditional country inn comfort with a contemporary touch, and nothing is too much trouble for our friendly team.

From walking through the scenic sights of Upper Teesdale to stargazing some of the darkest skies in the country High Force Hotel is the perfect place to explore the great outdoors and get some colour in your cheeks. And after all that exertion, there’s an ever-changing menu of seasonal flavours and local drinks to enjoy.

If open fireplaces, weathered floorboards and effortless, laidback elegance sounds like your kind of place, we can’t wait to welcome you and the whole family – including four-legged friends – to your new favourite place.
