Cottage was lovely. Very clean and had everything in that we could want to make our stay easy and comfortable. Cottage located in a good spot for exploring. Would definitely visit again.

Parking was good (previous review said it was a problem for a large car but I had no difficulty albeit my car is quite large bigger than an estate) you just need to either reverse in or out and drive down the lane to turn around. Very pleased that the landlord didn't have many rules, obviously wants you to enjoy and relax. Best recommendation is I would stay here again for a relaxing time while walking the Wall.

We stayed here as we were working at an event in Kielder. The cottage met our needs perfectly. One tiny thing was we couldnât get the TV working properly but that might have just been us.
