Private parking for 2 cars; additional on road parking. No smoking. Please note: No children under 18 years.. Old Kielder Castle Cottage lies in the prettiest part of the village of Kielder, directly opposite the castle, which can be admired from the large enclosed garden. Visitors to Kielder village and surrounding area are spoilt for choice, as the area is a paradise for mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, fishermen and water enthusiasts. It is ideally located for stargazers and photographers, as this semi-detached holiday cottage is close to the Kielder Observatory. The castle houses a visitor centre, with a licensed café featuring a webcam to capture the ospreys and wildlife, and also holds varied exhibitions throughout the seasons.
The cottage has been sympathetically restored from a 1775 stable for the castle, into a contemporary cottage, which is ideal for couples or small families. Relax in the large bath after a day’s cycling or walking, or curl up on the comfy sofa and watch a film in front of the cosy wood burner. The rear area has a pretty tiered patio area for extra privacy to relax and unwind. The open beams, underfloor heated stone floors and wood burner all help to retain the character of the cottage.
Kielder is set in the Gold Tier International Dark Sky Park, the largest expanse of dark sky in Europe, perfect for astronomers. The surrounding parks all have something to offer visitors. There is a hop on/off ferry which takes you all around the water to admire the stunning scenery with a visitor centre, bird of prey centre and bar with picnic tables along the front.
The local pub and licensed café are only a short walk away, which means you can leave your car behind and enjoy a quiet drink with friends. This property is within a great location for exploring the abundance of visitor attractions in what is reputedly the friendliest and least inhabited county in England. Hadrian’s Wall and the Northumberland Heritage Coast (Alnwick Castle only 50 miles) make great days out and are easily drivable. The Kielder Winter Wonderland from mid-November to Christmas is a fantastic experience for families of all ages (must pre book). Marathons and bike runs are held throughout the year, making the cottage a welcoming base for your stay in Kielder. Shop ¼ mile, pub 300 yards, café 200 yards.

Despite coronavirus, we had a lovely week at the cottage.
Despite coronavirus, we had a lovely week at the cottage. We normally stay at the cabins and I was quite pleased I'd happened to book this cottage for a change. It was spotlessly clean which was reassuring and we felt comfortable and relaxed straight away. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sit out in the garden on several occasions which was private and full of birds. The cottage was great, much bigger than I was expecting and the furnishings were beautiful. The heating was a mystery to me but it kept the place warm. I did find the boiler disturbed my sleep though, as it turned on and off every minute all night. But I'm a light sleeper. Also, one bed was very soft and the other very hard. The soft one was extremely low, OK for us, but older people might struggle. Something nobody seems to mention is it's right next to the toilets. It was actually no issue, no smells or any horror story your mind might conjure up! The only thing is, if you like a lie in, you might get woken by the hand driers going off! (I'm an early riser so just found it amusing). We were able to get up into Scotland a few times, you're just 5 miles from the border, and dared to use the forest drive which was actually much better than we expected. We just have a normal car and with careful driving were fine, it takes about 40 mins to get to the other end. Well worth the effort as it's beautiful. All in all we had a great week at Kielder as always, and we'll definitely stay at this cottage again in future. Really lovely. Our dog loved it too!

This is a great place to escape the stresses and strains of life.
This is a great place to escape the stresses and strains of life. If you love the outdoors this is just the most fantastic place to visit. So many great walks, all dog friendly, mountain bike trails and water sport activities on Kielder Water. Congratulations to to the Forestry Commission for making this such a spectacular place to explore, with lots of interesting things for youngsters to do as well. The accommodation was ideally located to take advantage of all the wonderful walks, so many on your doorstep, as well as offering a high degree of comfort. Take plenty of supplies though as there are no shops in the village and basic provisions are 4 miles away. Nonetheless, this just added to the tranquillity of the place. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to revisiting the area at a different time of year. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
