Celebrate Christmas and New Year in Rural Northumberland www.eshotthall.co.uk
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Eshott Hall is a truly special place to spend the festive season, tucked away in rural Northumberland where the hum of busy roads is replaced by the crackling of log fires and the sounds of guests enjoying Christmas cheer. Just 2 miles from the A1, yet a million miles from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its laid-back hospitality and the warmest of Northumbrian welcomes Eshott Hall is the perfect spot to gather friends and family for a relaxed Christmas and some seasonal indulgence. Set in 35 acres of rolling lawns and medieval woodlands, this stunning 17th century country house is a veritable jewel in Northumberland s crown. Step inside and you ll find a blend of modern design and elegant period features. Grand, yet cosy. A home from home, yet with added extras, such as some fourposter beds, free-standing in-room baths, heavenly toiletries and sublime seasonal dishes from the 2 AA rosette restaurant. It s a great place to do nothing, but there are always great things to do. Like exploring the fabulous Northumbrian coastline with its acres of unspoilt beaches and dramatic landscapes dominated by historic castles. Visiting some of the many stately homes and gardens in the area. Pulling on your wellies for a stomp around the estate. Or simply putting your feet up and enjoying the peace and the chance to zone out. Take the stress out of the festive season this year and book your stay at Eshott Hall.
