Our Story

The story so far

At the heart of the Wildhive philosophy is locality, community and a responsibility towards our planet.

Our houses and Wildhives will always be rooted in nature. Whether that be the celebration of delicious, local food on our plates, the art on the walls, or the activities we engage in within the local landscape and community.

Wildhive was created out of a love for all things local and a passion for protecting key environments and spaces. The purchase of Callow Hall was the first step in achieving this goal. Located in the beautiful Dovedale Valley, the Victorian heritage property has been extensively and lovingly refurbished. Nestled in the grounds, you'll find Treehouses and woodland Hives, perfect for a truly immersive escape to the wild.

In November 2024, we added the purchase of Eshott Hall, a beautiful Georgian manor house with 37 acres in the heart of Northumberland, to the Wildhive Collection. This warm and homely house will undergo a sensitive refurbishment to both the house, stables, gardens and grounds. Within the woodland, several Woodmans Cabins will be tucked away to allow the guest to enjoy the wilder elements but with all the home comforts close at hand.

The Wildhive way

A Wildhive hotel is a place where friends and family of all ages can gather to relax or be active. Where time spent with loved ones is precious. Where you can explore, be inspired and have fun while immersing yourself within the natural environment. Our inspiring menus are shaped by the seasons and presented simply with the wellbeing of our guests and planet in mind.

Journal

As part of the landscape, we see each property in our family as a living breathing thing. Over time, they evolve and adapt, and our Journal is where you can follow this. You'll also find handy tips from our chefs, gardeners, and bartenders so you can whip up those Wildhive favourites at home.
