Slaley Hall is an Edwardian mansion within 1000 private acres of forest and moorland. What a great combination: luxury and elegance plus room for the most energetic of children to roam. There’s a splendid indoor pool, cycle hire, fishing and arrangements can be made for pony trekking. 

There are spacious family rooms with extra beds or rooms with interconnecting doors so that everyone can have their space. Children’s DVDs and videos are available and the ‘Cupboard under the stairs’ is a specially designed child-friendly area with bean bags, games and Playstations. It’ll keep your children entertained so that you don’t have to!
