What could be better this Autumn than discovering Family Stays in Northumberland – a treat you and your loved ones (of all ages!) can enjoy in one of our beautiful, self-catering Chesters Stable Suites?

Resting in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, each one of our beautiful seven Stable Suites have been fully furnished with family holidays in mind; complete with spacious living areas, soft king-sized beds, underfloor heating, and sleek kitchens where families can serve up magical meals together, using the finest locally sourced ingredients that this season brings. And, with an abundance of exciting activities for all ages to enjoy, here’s how you can make your autumn break at Chesters Stables that extra bit special.

Our estate’s beautiful private grounds are guaranteed to capture the hearts of all generations, encouraging games of hide and seek for younger guests, while offering the perfect rural settings for grownups to escape the stresses of everyday life and, not to mention, the chaos that the run up to Christmas can bring. Throughout your stay, delight in having the luxurious Matfen Hall Hotel as your neighbour, where a restaurant and spa – awaits your visit. But, if the hotel facilities aren’t enough to keep everyone entertained for the duration of your stay, there are plenty of nearby activities and attractions that will.

Experience Northumberland in autumn

While our region is a place of rare beauty all year round, with wildlife blossoming in spring, beach days to enjoy in summer and festive events to capture hearts during the winter months, Northumberland offers something particularly magical during autumn.

Wrap up warm and take in two thousand years of history at Hadrian’s Wall and Chesters Roman Fort. While you soak up the culture and heritage of one of the Roman Empire’s most northern outposts, keep the little ones entertained by foraging for materials to craft cosy homes for wildlife to hibernate in over the winter, or make the most of the breezy, blustery autumnal days and bring a kite to fly along the wall.

Grown ups will adore the cobbled streets of quaint market towns and discovering the famous views that span across Northumberland’s National Park, which, in just a matter of days, will be glowing with autumn’s warm hues. Go cycling, fishing, horse riding, take part in a falconry day, or visit Northumberland Zoo and get up close and personal with a selection of fascinating, furry creatures, before retiring to the Drawing Room for an afternoon of pure bliss with an indulgent Walwick Hall Afternoon Tea.

Delight in the season’s festivities

With Halloween on the horizon, why not keep the younger ones entertained with a spellbinding experience and enjoy a selection of haunted castles, terrifying trails and spooktacular events. Budding witches and wizards can enjoy a mysterious magic show at Whitehouse Farm, join Belsay Hall’s ghost-hunting storytellers for a chilling, family friendly walk through the shadows of Belsay’s grounds, or adventure around the ‘Spooky’ Garden at Alnwick Castle.

Opt for intimacy in your luxury home from home

For those days where you wake up to the comforting sounds of rain tapping at your window, opt for intimacy and indulge in a day of luxury in your very own private Chester Stables Suite. Reconnect with loved ones and spend the day playing board games or cosying up in front of the stove, watching the selections of films available on your smart TV. 

No matter how you choose to spend your time at Chesters Stables this autumn, you can rest assured that every moment will be filled with amazing memories you’ll treasure forever.
