About this property
Shortflatt Tower, Shortflatt Tower Estate ,Belsay
Shortflatt Tower is one of Northumberland's most beautiful country houses set in idyllic surroundings with well-tended walled gardens and ancient woodland. Set in a private estate, we offer comfortable elegance in an area of natural beauty. Come and enjoy a taste of gracious country living in the luxurious comfort, elegance, and tranquillity that our 13th century fortalice tower has to offer. The Tower Keep drawing room has a vaulted ceiling, 6 foot thick walls and an open fire. The Tower Drawing room opens out onto an impressive terrace and attractive gardens. Past and present owners have taken great pride in creating and maintaining the wonderful garden and the grounds around the Tower .The flower borders have been planned to produce colour and blooms throughout the year and there is a beautiful rose quartz fountain. To the rear of the house is an impressive suntrap courtyard which offers a stylish area for a BBQ, drinks, private dining and relaxation. For a cosier atmosphere, the 2 drawing rooms offers decorative brilliance with plush sofas and views of the garden. The formal dining room has antique furnishings and a wood burning stove. Opposite to the dining room is the large family AGA kitchen with American fridge freezer, dishwasher and additional dining space.
We have fifteen beautiful and individually decorated bedrooms with views overlooking the formal gardens and rolling Northumberland countryside. Eleven of the bedrooms are en suite, two family bathrooms with a bath and rain shower, a ground floor washroom and toilet. With a variety of areas to stroll or to sit and relax in the garden and parkland, it is a wonderful space to explore. The Ancient tree lined drive is a kilometre long so there is great privacy and uninterrupted views.

We booked the property to celebrate my father in laws 80th birthday so there were lots of people ranging from 2 months old to 102 years old! The house itself is fab and the accommodation on offer was great. Location is excellent being near Bolam Lake with some good walks. We had a few teething problems in terms of heating and some supplies but all in all had a good stay
