De Vere Slaley Hall , 4 star - Slaley Hall owes its existence to Samuel Hunting who first purchased the estate lands in the late 1800's and it remains today a symbol of elegance and glory and a grand retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Set amidst 1,000 acres of prime Northumbrian forest and moorland, it is crowned by a spectacular reproduction Japanese garden. Also on the estate are 2 championship golf courses and floodlit driving range. *
