I first read about Shortflatt Tower in the Sunday Times Culture magazine, where it was recommended as one of the best places to stay this Christmas. Shortflatt Tower is located in Belsay, just 9 miles away from Newcastle Airport. I love stunning architecture, gardens and luxurious living and I must say Shortflatt Tower and Fullerton Place ticked ALL the boxes. It is a simply stunning Northumberland wedding venue with an on-site spa, Fullerton Place. Let me tell you about my experience.
The Tower contains a drawing room, dining room and a kitchen and sitting room. The sitting room offers opulent views of the estate and the beautiful surrounding Northumberland countryside. The kitchen area features an original stone floor and a large wood burning stove. This all combines to create a relaxing and warm atmosphere. Shortflatt Tower does marries the old with the new in a way that no other stately home does, the recherche furnishings are complemented by the stylish and modern facilities. The holiday lets come equipped with flat screen televisions, digital freeview and and a DVD player.
Shortflatt Tower is the perfect Northumberland wedding venue for a traditional wedding – the look, the interior, the grounds and the tower itself make it ideal – it really is the sort of venue that you envision when you think of a fairytale wedding. A marquee on the gardens at Shortflatt would be perfect with lovely weather, whilst the drawing room and dining room make for a lovely alternative if the weather takes a turn. The team at Shortflatt are able to tailor your wedding to your needs and desires. If you prefer a more unique, different wedding then their team can sort that too. They have been known to host weddings featuring people on stilts, costume balls, fireworks and fire-breathers.
Shortflatt Tower has recently opened its new spa Fullerton Place. Fullerton Place is a stunning new Northumberland Spa that complements Shortflatt Tower perfectly. The spa has been renovated from the old stable blocks at Shortflatt Tower. It features luxurious treatment rooms with a Hammam, steam room and an outdoor spa hot tub.

Fullerton Place Spa have also announced a partnership with Natural Empathy – an award-winning natural beauty and spa brand from the Northumberland area.

A unique Northumberland wedding venue and spa, Shortflatt Tower and Fullerton Place Spa complement each other perfectly to creatr an inspiring and alleviating countryside retreat. Disconnect from the rest of the world and reconnect with yourself and those close to you. I think I deserve a long weekend there this winter!
