Overview

This well-equipped cottage offers warm and welcoming home-from-home comfort in a beautiful and peaceful location within Kielder Water and Forest Park. Venture less than a mile towards the 18th-century gothic Kielder Castle for the friendly village pub/restaurant. Meander through the Minotaur Maze and visit the popular street food diner within the castle grounds. The local garage sells some essentials, and the nearest shops are 6 miles away, so please come prepared. Two more pubs/restaurants are in Falstone and Shilling Pot (9 miles). Hire a bike to explore the myriad of mountain bike trails and children can follow the Gruffalo Spotters’ Trail. Explore the 26-mile Lakeside Way spotting wonderful wildlife and birds, and enjoy the night-time splendours of the starry sky with Kielder Observatory 3 miles away.

Access to this welcoming cottage is through the front door into a small hallway. Head into the bright and inviting lounge where you can rest weary legs after exploring this stunning area and the many visitor attractions. Relax on the comfortable seating to enjoy a cosy evening in front of the fire watching your favourite shows on the Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen/diner has everything you need to plan and enjoy your meals. There is a separate utility/boot room area perfect for storing your outdoor clothing and boots, and the back door leads out to the extensive gardens. At bedtime, head upstairs to find the two attractive bedrooms, one with a double bed and a TV that’s perfect for a long lie-in, and a twin bedroom with lovely garden views – both bedrooms boast a charming feature fireplace. The accommodation is completed by the pretty family bathroom.

Outside, steps from the back door lead to the long, lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs – a wonderful place for games. Enjoy cooking on the BBQ and dine alfresco in warmer months under the summer pagoda. Unwind with a drink on the bench seating to watch the many visiting birds by day and gaze up at the super-starry sky at night. Head through the garden gate at the far end to find another ‘secret’ garden area, which leads out to a lovely walk and into the forest. Bike lovers can store bikes in the cycle store.

We arrived to find this cottage very warm and cosy with everything that you need. The property is ideal for visiting the Observatory which we did the day we arrived, being only about 3 miles journey. Good large garden which our two poodles enjoyed. Welcoming bottle of fiz. Excellent location for discovering the northern end of Kielder Water and theRead more surrounding area and the southern border region. Pub the Anglers Arms serves good food and ales. this is having some refurbishment starting soon. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Allan's Cottage. The cottage is clean and well equipped. The garden is gorgeous and well enclosed - perfect for the dog. Due to the location there are midges - take bug spray so you can enjoy the garden into the evening! The area is beautiful and very quiet. It is perfect for wildlife spotting.

We loved it. It has to be the cleanest property we've stayed in. So comfortable. We couldn't have wished for better, and everything we could have possibly needed was taken care of.

It was a great holiday cottage - a lot of thought and care had gone into providing everything and more that could be needed to guests. The secure garden was great for our dog, a fantastic base for the area, and the owners were so helpful throughout. We were made to feel very welcome and had a great break. Charming neighbours too!

This is a modern semi in an exceptionally quiet residential area. It was beautifully looked after, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Even our mini-daxies failed to escape from the huge lawned garden. We would definitely return - even the midges were tolerable!

This was booked at the last minute and we are so glad we picked it. The cottage and garden are amazing. The garden is secure for dogs and a really good size plus you have all the walks on the doorstep in and around Kielder forest and water. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was great to come back to after a day walking around the area. The ownRead moreers were friendly and helpful with ideas and there was lots of information in the cottage as well. We will be looking to book again in the future. Hide

Allan's cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and contained everything we needed. It has a large enclosed garden which is ideal for any kind of dog, our lurchers couldn't escape despite seeing lots of things to chase! It is ideally placed as a base for walking the national park. The hosts are friendly and are full of information about the local aRead morerea. I would highly recommend this property as a base to explore the national park or just for a peaceful, comfortable break Hide
