Overview
Property code: OC-S44893

Enjoy an unforgettable stay in this striking holiday home in Yarrow, on the edge of Kielder Water and Forest Park. The unique, adults-only bolthole makes a wonderful couples’ retreat and boasts ample space – both indoors and outside – for everyone to spread out. After a day of walking, cycling, or paddleboarding, eat out in the pretty riverside town of Bellingham, 9 miles away.

The single-storey stone cottage is bursting with character, with ornate furniture set against a backdrop of fabulous period features and spectacular views. Enter the home into the impressive kitchen, and from here move through to the inviting lounge/diner with its beamed ceiling, plump sofas, and Smart TV. Gather here for mealtimes around the dining table as you take in the far-reaching rural vistas. From here, a step leads to a Victorian-style shower room and a hallway with space for storing outdoor gear. From the lounge/diner, shallow steps lead to the snug, where you’ll find a pair of Chesterfield sofas positioned next to a roaring wood burner. In summer months, open the French doors to let the outside in. The property has two stunning bedrooms, one of which has a four-poster bed. To the rear of the cottage, discover an enclosed patio with outdoor furniture and river views. You’ll also have a gazebo terrace with atmospheric outdoor lighting and two copper baths to soak in after a day of adventure. There’s also a lawned area with seating at the side of the cottage and a BBQ/firepit hut reached via steps. Finally, stone steps lead to a tranquil seating area just above the river. Private parking is provided for two cars.

Head into the park to enjoy a day of water sports and outdoor activities, or join one of the many tracks and trails that weave amongst England’s largest forest. You’ll also be close to some of the country’s most scenic long-distance walking routes, such as the Pennine Way and Lakeside Way. The surrounding landscape forms part of Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, so be sure to head outside on a clear night for a spot of stargazing.

We had a fantastic stay at Springfield cottage. The cottage and surrounding areas exceeded our expectations. The dark skies on a clear night are spectacular. Springfield cottage is truly a home away from home, there is everything you need to have a relaxing break. The beds were extremely comfortable, pitch black rooms and peaceful, the best slRead moreeep we have had in a long time. The kitchen is well equiped and we made full use of the coffee machine. The grill hut and copper baths are an extra special treat. We spent a lazy Sunday in the grill hut, enjoying the fire, listening to music and roasting marshmallows, a perfect way to switch off. Overall the cottage has such a lovely cosy vibe, coming back to the cottage after our days of exploring and chilling out in the river room with a fire going really is special. We spent alot of our time in the river room, reading books, playing games and watching the wildlife. David and San are the perfect hosts you can tell they really want you to have the best stay and have thought of everything. The welcome basket we received was thoughtful and much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to escape to the country. Hide

Amazing and relaxing stay. The cottage is something special, the photos are very good, but its even better in real life. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is already there. Outdoor copper baths, a grill hut, amazing outdoor space and real fire make this place extra special. The place was very clean. David the owner was very hospitRead moreable, had great communication and was most helpful. The surrounding area is perfect to escape and be amongst nature. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place and felt lucky to be able to stay here. Hide

This cottage is a home away from home we didnt want to go home! From the moment you arrive you just feel relaxed and settled. The house has such character and charm! Where do I start! Upon entering the kitchen it is well stocked with all you need, the crockery and glass ware make you feel transported to a more elegant time. The welcome hamper was Read morebeautiful and greatly appreciated. The information booklet provides you with everything you need and more for an incredible stay and the owner really has gone above and beyond to be so helpful! The first sitting room is so comfortable and cosy to snuggle and watch the telly in the hidden frame or just sit and relax. The lighting on an evening makes it so cosy indeed. The bedrooms are gorgeous and traditional, the bedding is luxurious and each picture and accessory compliments it so well and supplied with complimentary robes to use for your stay and slippers. The bathroom is beautiful with the vintage style tiles and a good powerful shower and the traditional style pull flush. The rear living room with the beautiful fireplace and fire is just incredible and such a supply of games and books to read. We felt like lord and lady of the manor and watching the birds on a morning with a cup of tea in such fine cups was brilliant! Outside where do we begin the copper baths are incredible and it doesnt matter if its raining theres a perfectly sized parasol, we watched buzzards and a woodpecker and plenty of other birds flying above us. Also in the sideboard there are binoculars and telescope for star gazing! Make your way down to the fire hut its gorgeous we never got the chance to use it as we were busy exploring but our next visit we certainly will be. The sound of the river is so calming and the vast array of seating in its winding paths just makes you feel in your own little world. This house has been carefully thought out with such attention to detail and is truly a rare find! Two minute drive is the pheasant inn which we visited twice and had outstanding meals the Sunday dinner was gorgeous we recommend the lamb (book to save disappointment). If you want luxury and home away from home comfort and adventure of exploring Kielder then look no further! Thank you for such a lovely stay we most definitely will be returning. Love Aaron & Zipporah Hide
