We had an lovely holiday based at Oak Cottage.
We had an lovely holiday based at Oak Cottage. The cottage was ideal for us to explore the area and of Kielder Forest. Due to the COVID 19 restrictions items within the cottage were limited, however this did not spoil our experience. The garden was a little overgrown at the time of our visit, but this enhanced all of the bird life that was in abundance. The hosts were very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome to their cottage. We will certainly be visiting again, for the wonderful dark skies and beautiful scenery.

The cottage had everything we wanted, comfort, peacefulness and beautiful surroundings and views. The interior was spacious apart from the dining area which is small. In many ways we would have preferred at table to eat at in the living room, which is very large. John and Jill have spent a lot of time rewilding the area, planting trees and bushes to attract wildlife. There are therefore loads of birds around - and rabbits pop out from time to time. The wildcams picked up the owl leaving and returning, and fish in the pond.

Oak cottage is owned by 2 really nice farmers.
Oak cottage is owned by 2 really nice farmers. But the cottage needs a few things changing. The 3 piece suite has no bottom in so you feel as though you have sunk! We found it difficult to get up from.
The four poster bed was white metal with a tacky white net. Admittedly I didn't see any pictures on the site when I booked it as the starry nights attracted me.
But the sky at night is amazing.

Rustic charming cottage set amongst the rugged hills of the National Park. Everywhere we visited was dog friendly. We were lucky with the weather which helped our stargazing. John and Jill have amassed amazing reference guides to help you get the most out of your holiday. Thank you...

Brilliant cottage, quiet peaceful location, lots of birds and the live web cam is fantastic. Saw barn owls on the cam -so interesting. Dark starry skies a plus. Nearest pub 6 miles though and nearest town 20 mins drive. So bear that in mind.
