Here in Northumberland there’s a gentle nip in the air. A reminder that summer is coming to a close and autumn preparing its arrival. A season of change, of crisp mornings and twilight walks, and a time to look ahead to that first twinkling of Christmas on the horizon. 

In fact, there’s just over 4 months to go til the big day arrives. Making this the ideal time to plan your Christmas celebration. 

Tucked away on the edge of peaceful Northumberland National Park, our stable suites offer a relaxing space for families, couples and friends to get away from the bustle and celebrate together. 

Secluded, surrounded by tranquil countryside and with 5 star details at every turn – find out why a self-catering escape at Chesters Stables could be the perfect fit for your family this Christmas. 

 

Celebrate your way 

Christmas is all about family – and every family is different. And, this is where a self-catering stay really shines. Fancy a long, snowy walk before breakfast? Prefer a late Christmas Dinner? Or are you looking forward to a plan-free afternoon, settled by the fire? 

No problem – enjoy your day, your way. With a self-catering stay – there’s no pressure and no-one’s schedule to follow but your own. 

 

A Christmas home from home 

Getting away from it all for Christmas is wonderful – an escape from the everyday for a celebration like no other. 

But, the comforts of hearth and home are hard to beat. So, enjoy the best of both worlds with a self-catering Christmas stay.  Each of our 8 stable suites are cosy and welcoming, pairing original heritage features with AA 5 gold star luxury to create an idyllic winter bolthole. 

Decorate your suite in your own festive style, hang stockings by crackling stoves, prepare Christmas dinner in a large country-style kitchen and exchange gifts by the tree to create new memories in style and comfort. 

 

Experience the magic of Northumberland 

England’s northernmost county, home to its darkest skies most peaceful National Park – Northumberland will capture your heart all year round.

But at Christmas, it’s magical. Pull on your wellies and take to Hadrian’s Wall – just moments from your stable suite and offering spectacular views of the rolling moorland and frosted landscapes of the National Park. Take walk in the woods to explore Kielder Forest – where the towering Christmas tree that stands outside the Houses of Parliament comes from each year. 

For timeless Christmas traditions, the nearby towns and villages won’t disappoint. Head to Hexham for candlelit carols in its ancient abbey. Or take a trip to Corbridge to walk its cobbled streets, pick up a few last-minute gifts and enjoy a well-earned hot chocolate. 

 

Bring the whole family 

With spacious en-suite bedrooms, expansive and inviting living areas and pet friendly options – there’s room for the whole family to relax and enjoy themselves. From a cosy and intimate suite for two, to a large space with room for 8 – you can find the perfect fit for your family at Chesters Stables. 

Our concierge service will even unload and unpack and online grocery orders ahead of your arrival – so from the moment you open the door, you can relax and enjoy the very best of the season with loved ones.
