Hotel details 
With complimentary access to the hotel's health club, including a 20-metre heated indoor pool, a sauna, a whirlpool, a steam room, and a gym, "you will not be bored" on your getaway, promises The Daily Telegraph. Slaley Hall is a great base to explore the North Pennines National Landscape, and is 30 minutes' drive from Northumberland National Park as well. If you fancy a day trip, soak up some history at Hadrian's Wall, step back in time at Beamish Museum, or take a leisurely stroll along Tynemouth Longsands beach—all are around 50 minutes' drive from the hotel. 

A range of pampering treatments are offered for a fee at the onsite spa. Golfers can choose between two 18-hole championship golf courses (supplements apply)—The Priestman course and The Hunting course, which is "widely recognised as the top track in the north east" (Today's Golfer).

Dining and drinking options include three restaurants, offering light bites, afternoon teas, and brasserie classics, and two bars. We'd recommend a late night tipple in the wood-panelled Whiskey Snug with its cosy wingback chairs and coal fire.
