A warm, welcoming property in a super location near England’s largest forest and stunning lake. Perfect for families, friends and outdoors lovers.
This pretty property, situated less than half a mile from Kielder Water and Forest Park, is perfect for families or groups of friends – with the pups in tow, of course! Sleeping seven across three peaceful bedrooms and with space for up to two dogs, this cottage is the ideal base for those looking for a relaxing holiday yet who still want to get out and explore. Go and get lost around the Minotaur Maze (485 metres) or try your hand at archery or fencing at Leaplish Waterside Park (0.5 miles).
The holiday home, which is part of a quaint terrace 80 metres from Lakeside Way, is spacious and comfortable. The stunning kitchen diner has a wonderful contemporary cottage feel with lots of light and rustic woods, while the lounge has a cosy feel thanks to the wood burner in an intricate fireplace and comfy sofas. Upstairs, the bedrooms promote a tranquil night’s sleep; wake up among soft pastel colours and head down to the garden to let the hounds out to stretch their legs. Sizzle up a BBQ out here in the summer – the owners have even provided you with picnic ware – or simply enjoy a long cold drink on the sun loungers.
If Fido can be left for a couple of hours, you must take a night-time trip to Kielder Observatory (2.5 miles) to gaze at the Milky Way; the third largest protected Dark Sky Reserve in the world holds regular family events. Visit the gateway to Kielder, Bellingham (18 miles), where there are plenty of pubs and cafes to try. Your canine companions can take a human on a stroll around the grounds of the Mary Queen of Scots Visitor Centre (25.5 miles) while you go inside and learn her story in a charming building dedicated to her memory.
