Step into a piece of history with all the modern comforts you could want. Originally built in 1860 and now beautifully reimagined, this character-filled home combines timeless charm with a chic, modern vibe. It features a stylish, state-of-the-art kitchen and a cozy wood-burning stove , and thoughtful touches throughout designed for relaxation and style.

For guests who prefer single-level living with no stairs, there is a large ground floor bedroom with a double bed, blackout curtains and an en-suite with a shower.

Upstairs, the large master bedroom overlooks the garden and features a luxurious king-sized bed along with a walk-in wardrobe, giving you plenty of space to settle in. The second upstairs room includes a comfortable double bed, and both share a luxurious bathroom highlighted by an exposed stone wall and modern fittings.

Start your mornings with freshly brewed bean-to-cup coffee and end your evenings with a glass from the wine chiller by the warm glow of the wood-burning stove. With fast 5G Wi-Fi, and a large smart TV you have all the comforts of home in a peaceful countryside setting.

Outside, you’ll find a peaceful patio and garden where local birds often visit. We frequently have feasants and even a resident owl occasionally likes to perch on the garden post.

From the doorstep this house offers simple access to the very best of Kielder — from scenic bike rides to breathtaking forest walks to Kielder castle, the lake, café, pub, and local facilities, all just a short stroll or ride away.

For those interested in Astronomy, this is the closest house to the Kielder Observatory, so you’ll have prime stargazing opportunities. We’ve even provided a telescope so you can make the most of our famous dark skies—and maybe spot the International Space Station on a clear night.

It’s a perfect, soothing retreat to enjoy all that Kielder has to offer.

You can enjoy the entire property during your stay, with private gated parking and access via a smart lock door with your own pin.

The major supermarkets deliver here, so you might want to book a slot if you don't wish to travel with food, and if you enjoy your own brand of coffee bean, feel free to bring them along too!
