(Bothy #5) 2 bedroom cabin (six person)

Liked: The accommodation was superb. Clean and very presentable. The view of the night sky was unbelievable. We were close enough for a trip to Hadrian’s wall and also an afternoon into Newcastle and the MetroCentre. My 12 year old loved the football pitch and my 7 year old enjoyed sitting on the platform over the water and watching the insects etc. an evening around the fire pit watching the stars was perfect way to end our stay.

Disliked: We couldn’t find our BBQ and so had to cook the food we’d brought to BBQ inside…but this the smallest issue we found and didn’t really affect our stay at all.

From the manager: Hi, The BBQ is round the side of the building - I wish you had of asked because we could have shown you where it was. Thanks for coming and we hope to see you again one day. Claire. :-)

Liked: Really good stay at Tarset Tor, Kielder Forest is a must. The town of Bellingham has plenty of things to do and a play park for kids. In terms of the accommodation you couldn’t fault and comms were perfect.

Disliked: The weather but that’s unpredictable!

(Bothy #3) 2 bedroom cabin (eight person)

Liked: The place was fabulous, the owners so helpful and friendly! The whole place is fenced/walled in so you can let the kids explore without worry and even our young dog could wander to his hearts content. All the cleaning products and washing up things are already there so no need to bring with you. Kids loved the play area! Clean and tidy outside and inside. Beautiful views and peace and quiet. Just be aware - There is NO mobile signal unless on a certain provider (we weren’t) Wifi did randomly drop out but to be honest it was nice being left alone for a week.

Disliked: Not really anything Stairs are steep but get used to it

(Bothy #1) 2 bedroom cabin (eight person)

Liked: Fantastic location and a different family experience with Bothy accommodation. Bothy’s was lovely, a good size even with a family of 7 with good amenities and provision of basics. Made to feel very welcome by Rob and Claire (and the dogs) and Rob gave recommendations of things to do locally. Unfortunately the cloud only gave us one fully clear night for stargazing, although we had a good view of meteors. View from the Bothy is stunning and there are plenty of local trails for walking/running. Site is well placed for visiting Kielder reservoir and Hadrians Wall and the local scenery is stunning. If you’re happy to venture a little further then the east coast is just over an hour away. Alnwick Castle and the Beach at Bamburgh are a must and I highly recommend the boat trips to the islands from Seahouses.

Local attractions

There are so many tiptop places around Tarset Tor, whether you're into sedate pursuits like visiting historical sites or white-knuckling ones on fast-paced outdoor activities. Tarset is close to the Kielder mountain bike trails, the 7stanes network and a nicely diverse range of other outdoor activities like learning bushcraft, foraging or how to use crossbows; archery, quad biking, horse riding, fencing, canoeing, skating or clay pigeon shooting… A good selection of golf courses is in the area as well, as is some smashing fishing on the River Tyne. For walkies, hit the nearby Pennine Way north to Bellingham or south to Stonehaugh, or wander around the old Roman market towns of Hexham and Corbridge, both within easy reach and with boutique shops, galleries and restaurants. (More good local eats can be had in neighbouring Greenhaugh, Charlton and Bellingham villages.) And if you're in Northumberland you have to take a run around the coast, especially as the road to the sea from Tarset Tor meanders through old forests and moorland on its way to Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. There's much too much to recommend on the Northumberland coastline, but faves of the Tarset Tor team include the beaches of Alnmouth and Craster; stop off at Alnwick Castle on your way.
