This cottage is a lovely home from home. The downstairs has the three bedrooms and two bathrooms and the upstairs is an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge. There's space for two cars by the hot tub, which was lovely and hot, and the cottage is set on the edge of the Kielder forest with all the paths throughout that you can use. We were greeted by the owner, Jackie, upon arrival and she made sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend you shop along the way or get a shop delivered as very little was open in Kielder or the nearby villages but we knew that in advance so there were no issues. The sun shone, the views were spectacular and the cottage was exactly as described - what more could you want!!

Had a lovely time at Kielder Cottage. Very peaceful and lots of opportunities for walking in the local area and exploring the Art Trail around Kielder Water. The Hot tub is a real bonus at the end of a days walking. NB there is no Tumble dryer (despite it saying so in the details), however there is one available for a small fee in the laundry cabin opposite the property, (which is part of the adjoining holiday park). The utility room acts as a good drying room, as the Boiler is housed in there. The only local facilities are a pub and a village petrol station with a general store attached to it. You would need to shop for groceries on the way or as suggested by the owner Jackie, book an online food delivery.
