  Lovely cottage with all you could need, very comfy beds and crisp bedding.

  The garden is great for dogs but be advised it is open at the top. My daughter particularly lived using the telescope at night to look at the stars/moon. A great place for a base for exploring, lots of different walks literally on your doorstep from the top of the garden. Kielder Forrest is so lovely and lots of walking to be done there, it's about a 15 min walk away from the cottage and there are quite a few different paths signposted in the car park.... its beautiful on a sunny day with the view over the water.... it is huge! :) The village is literally a 10 min walk away with a lovely little pub that is very welcoming with a roaring fire and allows dogs (just make a note of the opening times) The Tea Shop is great and the owners are beyond helpful and friendly....they also allow dogs in here and the cheesecake is amazing... they also sell a small amount of essentials and some local art :) (again make note of the openjng times) Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it..... :) The only couple of recommendations I would make would be some soft furnishings/cushions on the sofa and maybe some games/cards or books for days when the weather is not so good. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay, the locals are very friendly and helpful and we would definitely go back :)

  Excellent property - modern, comfortable with generous proportions.

  When choosing a holiday cottage I always look at the condition of the sofas & try to see how comfy they look to be & also what the bathroom looks like. Although there isn't a photo of the bathroom, can I reassure anyone deliberating, it did not disappoint. Plenty of space, clean, modern - perfect. Oh & the sofa is comfy too! Lovely view over fields towards Kielder dam with the river to the left. Impressed with the generous central heating. Met Paul as we had arrived early who was very friendly, welcoming & helpful. We didn't meet Nurmala as she was busy preparing the house but would like to thank her for the fluffy towels, warm duvets, plump pillows & simple but elegant bedding. My elderly sat nav got a bit confused when entering Falstone, but if you check the owners directions when you reach the tea rooms you won’t have a problem. Would I stay again? Definitely.

  A lovely holiday cottage, very close to Kielder Water and many forest walks.

  The house is really well equipped and very comfortable. The open fire was well used as temperatures dipped during our week but we were lucky to have a few clear skies. The owner had set up a telescope in the lounge - very thoughtful as I'd told him I was interested in the dark skies experienced up there. A good local pub which welcomes dogs is a bonus. My only negative would be the single, separate toilet with no hand washing facility if someone else is using the house bathroom. We were only a group of four but if there had been six of us, I think there may have been a bigger issue. Having said that, I would be very happy to stay there again, in a small group, it's a great place. The neighbours are very friendly and came to offer us candles when we had a short power cut (which we were assured was a rare event). I'd definitely recommend to others.

  Hartam House is a lovely house to stay in.

  The road it is on is super quiet and no light pollution. You can even see rabbits in the garden. There are 2 telescopes that you can use too. The beds were super comfy and there is plenty of storage in each bedroom. There are also lots of plug sockets. I loved that you had a small table in the kitchen and also a separate dining room. Considering the weather can be a bit hit and miss I would have liked to have a tumble dryer or at least a washing machine that can also dry. There is a pub within 5 mins walk and a tea room that is open for part of the week. The local shop is a 20 minute drive, so I recommend coming with a few provisions like milk, bread, tea etc just to tide you by the first morning or ensure you have stop to get something to cook for dinner. Would recommend Hartam House.

  When I booked this property I was under the impression that it was it was in an isolated position, as suggested by the photograph.

  However, it was, in fact surrounded by other properties, some actually overlooking the house. Don't get me wrong, the area was a quiet one, and the people we met there were lovely; it was, though, not what we were looking for. If we had been made aware that the house was in such a situation we would not have booked it. The house itself was first class. It was beautifully decorated, very well equipped and had a lovely garden. The owner, Paul, was a very polite and attentive host, without actually bothering us. It is, in fact, probably the nicest property that we've stayed in. We did have a nice time, however, were initially disappointed with the location, and felt that we had been misled. Also, although the house is dog friendly, they are not allowed upstairs.
