Family Breaks at Chesters Stables

People go to the countryside to get away from it all. After a busy week of work and hectic school runs, a weekend away in a family-friendly rural retreat like Chesters Stables is the perfect tonic. 

Chesters Stables started life in 1891 as part of the Chesters Estate. Reborn in 2018, these beautiful self-catering accommodation now rest close to Matfen Hall, the jewel in Northumberland’s crown.

Tucked away in the heart of Northumberland, Chesters Stables’ seven Stable Suites strike the perfect balance of comfort and style. Despite their luxurious layout, they have also been furnished with families in mind, with spacious living areas, soft king-sized beds and sleek open-plan kitchens where guests can rustle up leisurely breakfasts, quick lunches or intimate candlelit dinners.

But that’s not to say there’s a need to feel under pressure to cook. During your stay at Chesters Stables, visit Matfen Hall and indulge in dining experiences, including five-star dining experiences at Emerald Restaurant, steak and seafood classics beneath a glass ceiling in Cloisters Restaurant and Bar and distinctive Afternoon Teas in The Orangery, a dedicated tea lounge.

There’s an abundance of fun-filled activities for all ages to enjoy in the local area too, from horse riding to nature trails. During your days, you can explore Kielder Water on family bike rides or immerse yourselves in the fascinating history of Hadrian’s Wall and Chesters Roman Fort, both of which are on Chesters Stables’ doorstep. Complimentary walking leaflets can be found in your Stable Suite too to help you explore everything the area has to offer on foot.

Chesters Stables has all the makings of a perfect weekend break in the countryside for the entire family. Whether you’re visiting for 3, 4, or 7 nights, you can rest assured that Chesters Stables will fill every minute of your stay with memories you’ll treasure forever.
