With its distinctive frontage, this holiday home is charming and large enough to house a small family or group of friends in two bedrooms - sleeping up to four in total. Guests who stay here love the sheer wealth of stunning walks from the doorstep, with the Kielder Observatory 3 miles distant. There, you can enjoy the night-time splendours of the starry sky.

Inside, guests access the cottage through the front door into a hallway. From there, guests can walk into the welcoming lounge with its comfortable seating around the fire and TV. The kitchen and diner has everything guests would need to rustle up, and enjoy, delicious home-cooked meals. There’s also a separate utility and boot room area which has the back door that leads to the garden. It’s the perfect place to store muddy boots and dirty clothes after a day out exploring. Upstairs are two bedrooms. One has a double bed and TV, while the twin room enjoys garden views. Both feature a fireplace, providing a focus for each room. The accommodation is completed with a family bathroom. Outside, the back door leads to a long, lawned garden. There’s a summer pagoda where you can dine alfresco, having cooked a meal on the BBQ. There’s a gate at the end of the garden which leads out into a forest - with its own pretty walks.

There is no shortage of things to do near the property, thanks to being within Kielder Water and Forest Park. Within just a mile of the property is the 18th century gothic Kielder Castle, with a Minotaur Maze to keep younger guests entertained. The nearest shops are 6 miles away, but there are also pubs and restaurants at Flagstone and Shilling Pot 9 miles away too.

This was our second stay at Allan's Cottage, both times we have been so pleased as a family to stay here and will certainly be back. You just can not beat having Kielder Forest and Water on your doorstep. Its a great base for Mountain Biking or walking, the property is well equipped and the garden is huge and secure, Im also a fan of the dedicated Read moreparking spaces outside of the property which is always helpful. The bike store again is generous in size for 3-4 bikes. Hide

We loved it. It has to be the cleanest property we've stayed in. So comfortable. We couldn't have wished for better, and everything we could have possibly needed was taken care of.

It was a great holiday cottage - a lot of thought and care had gone into providing everything and more that could be needed to guests. The secure garden was great for our dog, a fantastic base for the area, and the owners were so helpful throughout. We were made to feel very welcome and had a great break. Charming neighbours too!

This is a modern semi in an exceptionally quiet residential area. It was beautifully looked after, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Even our mini-daxies failed to escape from the huge lawned garden. We would definitely return - even the midges were tolerable!

This was booked at the last minute and we are so glad we picked it. The cottage and garden are amazing. The garden is secure for dogs and a really good size plus you have all the walks on the doorstep in and around Kielder forest and water. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was great to come back to after a day walking around the area. The ownRead moreers were friendly and helpful with ideas and there was lots of information in the cottage as well. We will be looking to book again in the future. Hide

Allan's cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and contained everything we needed.
