High Force Hotel

About

High Force Hotel and Waterfall is one of the North of England’s most iconic natural sights, nestled in the picturesque Upper Teesdale countryside. The hotel combines traditional country inn charm with contemporary comforts, offering ten thoughtfully designed en‑suite bedrooms ranging from deluxe super king rooms to classic double or single options. Beyond its accommodation, the property serves as a gateway to one of the UK’s most powerful waterfalls, where thick curtains of water cascade over a dramatic 70‑foot drop. Visitors can enjoy serene woodland walks, guided tours led by knowledgeable hosts, and the opportunity to sample Cream Tea at the hotel’s relaxed restaurant. The resort also offers a range of activities and packages. Group visitors benefit from discounted admission rates, complimentary refreshments for organisers and drivers, and bespoke itineraries combining the waterfall with local attractions such as Raby Castle. Families can purchase a Family Ticket, which provides two adults and two children entry to the falls, an easy walk to the trail’s colourful summer fun zone, and a children’s adventure trail. Couples and couples on a getaway will appreciate the romantic setting, stargazing experiences under the North‑Pennine sky, and the pet‑friendly accommodations. With opening hours from 10am to 3pm daily for the waterfall and an all‑year‑round car park, High Force remains accessible for day‑trippers and overnight guests alike. Each visit typically lasts around two hours, allowing ample time to explore the waterfall, meadow walks, and the hotel’s amenities before returning to the comfort of the inn. The property’s commitment to sustainability and guest experience is reflected in its continuous offerings of seasonal activities, a ‘Three nights for the price of two’ promotion, and a dedicated app that provides personalized itineraries and access to exclusive deals.
