10 REASONS #BELLELOVES
A beacon of natural beauty, Shortflatt Tower takes couples on a journey of discovery – but not the type you need a map for. All yours, these close quarters offer quintessential English luxury with delightful nooks at every turn, and an exclusive wedding offering out of the ordinary.
1. A WOODLAND VIEW
Summer 2021 saw the unveiling of Shortflatt’s best kept secret – the Woodland View, a state- of-the-art new function room located through a private gate at the bottom of the garden. Enveloped in ancient forest, let the outdoors in with full floor-to- ceiling windows and impressive skylight, while trendy taupe interiors, exposed stonework and a sweeping purpose-built bar provide maximum insta- appeal. Fitting up to 160 by day and 200 by night.
2. FANTASTIC FODDER
What’s a wedding without great food? The catering crew here are bursting with original ideas to elevate a wedding breakfast to foodie folklore, from street food packages to classy canapés and contemporary fine dining menus. Equally, what’s a wedding without flowing drinks? Add a cocktail from a first date or a wine region from a favourite holiday. We’ll drink to that.
3. REST AND RELAX
Tastefully updated, Shortflatt’s interiors offer a true home from home with country comfort and modern luxury at their core. The six on-site luxury cottages provide the ultimate rural hideaway – soak in roll top baths, sink into plush sofas and dine alfresco with friends and family in the original communal courtyard, perfect for the mandatory wedding round-up.
4. INSTA READY
Cameras at the ready, Shortflatt’s got all the snapping credentials any modern couple looks for in a venue. Ivory-covered stone, weaving woodland, hidden little corners, couples can have the wedding album of their dreams at this Pinterest-lover’s paradise.
5. GROUNDS, GLORIOUS GROUNDS
Shortflatt Tower is an exclusive-use estate in Northumberland with 65 acres of gorgeous grounds comprising a main house, annex, garden, paddock, brand new Woodland View and on-site cottages – not to mention a historic peel tower dating back to 1257.
6. YOU’RE ALL INVITED
Did we mention, Shortflatt is exclusive use? This huge site is all yours for your wedding, meaning no stray wanderers crashing your party – there’s 65 acres to explore and pour your heart into, whilst making memories to last a lifetime.
7. IT’S SPA-TY TIME
Brides can ather the girls and enjoy a night of utter indulgence in the on-site Bridal Cottage, complete with a palatial relaxation room and outdoor hot tub. A haven of true tranquility exclusively available to brides and their party the night before the wedding.
8. SERENE SECLUSION
If it’s space to breathe and connect with loved ones a world away from the everyday you’re after, you’ve hit the jackpot. Sitting in the pocket of Northumberland’s pretty countryside amidst rolling green hills, woodland and farmland vistas, it’s easy to lose yourself on blissful post- wed walks and pre-dinner (maybe post-Aperol) talks.
9. PLANNING PERFECT
All couples benefit from Shortflatt’s in-house planning team. Stuck on styling? Need a bespoke menu? These guys are up to the task of organising your day head-to-toe, sparing the stress so couples can enjoy it to the max.
10. OPEN AIR AFFAIRS
If tying the knot outside is a preference, Shortflatt’s grounds are insanely photogenic. The wealth of outdoor spaces on offer here give couples so many options for their ceremony, from floral aisle style on the lawn to intimate pergola prettiness in the walled garden.
