We had a lovely week staying at the Stable. Gorgeous cottage located between Bellingham and the south shores of Kielder reservoir. Plenty to see and do even in November- we were very lucky with the weather but missed the northern lights due to cloud cover. Surprised to have Sara Cox running past on Monday at the start of her ultra marathon challenge for Children in Need. More than happy to return in the future.
