We stayed at Night Sky cottage for three nights over the new year (31st-3rd) and we were absolutely blown away with our accommodation. It was so homely we didn’t want to leave. We couldn’t fault a thing. It’s in a lovely quiet spot, easy access to fantastic walks around Keilder and a short distance from some lovely pubs. Communication with the owner was superb, really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit to Night Sky Cottage, you will definitely not be disappointed.

We had a fabulous time staying at night sky cottage. The cottage is in a fantastic location for exploring kielder, was beautifully presented and very clean. The observatory trip was a highlight. We organised an online delivery from Asda - would recommend as it is a remote location. We were expecting there to be a dedicated workspace from the advert, but this wasnt the case. Other than that, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to come back again.
