Peaceful setting, great views, perfect for families
(Bothy #3) 2 bedroom cabin (eight person)

We’ll be back…we loved this place
(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.

Northumberland Beauty and family friendly escape
(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

Quiet, rural location with stunning views and welcoming owners.
(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.
