The Liddel Haven a.k.a, a little slice of heaven! The best presented cottage we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. A last minute booking that turned into the most wonderful holiday. Everything about the cottage was considered and made it feel like a luxury escape from everyday life, with the added bonus of a well kept garden to relax in when the weather allows.The cottage is just a stones throw away from Keilder Forest, and within easy reach of Jedburgh, Hermitage Castle and Lindesfarn further afield for a day trip. Or you can walk in some beautiful countryside from the door and spot a plethora of birdlife including Golden Eagles. If you are considering a stay on the Scottish Boarders, book here of one of Zena and Simon's other properties, I promise you, you won't regret it.

Fantastic holiday cottage in a lovely location. The house is beautiful inside and has everything you need. Very close to Kielder castle and observatory. Communications from Zena were also great. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying here.

The Liddle Haven is a wonderful cottage to use as a base to explore the area in and around Kielder forest. The cottage is in a peaceful location and situated in one of the designated Dark Sky Areas, which includes The Kielder Observatory. The interior of the cottage is beautifully designed and decorated, extremely clean and has everything you could possibly need for a peaceful and cosy stay.
