  There's now a mobile signal for both voice and data at the cottage!

  This was on the 3 network. No signal yet on EE. I got 7mps down on data compared with 4mps on wi-fi, the latter being rock steady. Voice calls on mobile were nice and clear, although we mainly used wi-fi calling. We've stayed at dozens of cottages over the years and this was undoubtedly the best. It's extremely spacious to say the least. We won't stay anywhere that doesn't have a bath and a 3 seater settee. This has both. We consider these essential when we've been on our feet all day. The L-shaped sofa is particularly comfortable. The king size bed was too firm for our tastes, but most guests would probably love it. We slept in the twin room and found these beds nice and comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well equipped to say the least, and we appreciated the dishwasher. The only slight downside is the lighting, especially in the kitchen. The cottage is isolated, but the 2 mile single track road is tarmacked. It's about 15 minutes from the small town of Bellingham in the direction of Kielder Water. As a result stargazing here is exceptional with the bonus of a south facing rear garden. On the 2 clear nights we had I recorded a sky brightness of 21.4mag/arcsecondsquared even with the Milky Way overhead. Highly recommended.

  If you have got as far as reading this then you are interested in renting Shepherds Burn, don't look for other properties in the area this one is just great.

  Hiking, cycling, a base to start exploring from or just chilling out watching the wildlife then look no further book it. You'll find the cottage a couple of miles down a tarmac track which means no passing traffic, except the very infrequent farm or forestry vehicles (and I mean very infrequent). The cottage itself is beautifully maintained with everything you need for your stay and a large dog proof garden (how many times have I heard that phrase only to be disappointed - but not here) There are many tracks/bridleways through the forest that you can explore from the doorstep or a short drive takes you to Kielder reservoir and longer to every village and small town to the coast. The nearest village is Bellingham which is well stocked for your shopping needs, do look in the Country Store, possibly the most well stocked shop in Northumberland. From where I live we have the dubious joys of commuting up the appalling road work/accident filled A1 even that won't stop me going returning, to quote Mr A Schwarzenegger "I'll be back" A great cottage, in a great location rented from lovely people.

  Such a beautiful cottage in the heart of Northumberland National Park.

  It is really a home from home with a fully equipped kitchen. The pillows were a little soft for my personal taste, but you could tell that they were of high quality. The garden was large enough for a kickabout, but if you want more room there is a field literally outside of the garden gate. There is a nice selection of board games and jigsaws on site. Simon and Cosmo are unobtrusively on hand for anything that you need, including advice on where to go or how long travel takes to different places. Simon also left us a lovely welcome gift of wine and biscuits. There is no phone signal on the road to the cottage, or at the cottage, but WiFi is provided for this.

  The property is not detached as in your details but is a semi detached.

  still just as peaceful as no noise came from next door. very safe dog friendly garden. very clean property inside and outside. shops within a very short distance from the bungalow. many places to visit but mostly long distance ,the bungalow is larger than it looks on your site. shared drive but was no problem at all. slight downside. patio doors hit and miss to try to lock it. cistern over toilet needs a strong push to flush toilet. i you press it too soft the water will continue down the toilet. all in all a great bungalow in a very quiet cul-de-sac. loved it

  Buttercup cottage is situated in a quiet cul de sac but only just a short distant from local amenities including three pubs which all are dog friendly and serve meals at varying times.

  What the description doesn’t make clear is that there is a shower over the bath. (I enquired on Live Chat before booking and told there wasn’t so it was a pleasant surprise.) It is well equipped, although at the moment I would say four adults would be a bit squashed on the three seater settee and chair. The owners are putting a lot into making the cottage comfortable and welcome feedback and I was informed that they are addressing that issue. It is very clean and furniture and furnishings are of a very high standard. Would definitely recommend.
