Otterstone Cottage Reviews

Pam
We loved staying at this small cosy cottage in Yarrow. A perfect position if you love walking, cycling, or just being out in the sticks. The cottage was perfect for the dog too as it was easy to keep every thing clean and he felt perfectly at home there. We had every kind of weather from the moment we arrived but we felt warm and cosy the whole timRead moree. Loved being there. Hide
Gail
Absolutley love this place. This is it second visit, and will definately be going back again. Hosts were amazing especially during the blackout because of the storm. We could not recommend this enough. Thank you so much Margaret & Dave
Damian
The day I arrived at the cottage it was foggy and raining so I could not see the local area well. When I stepped inside the cottage felt welcoming and was very warm. It is deceptively spacious. On waking up the first morning and looking out I could not believe the views and location. Outstanding! The cottage is beautifully furnished and well equippRead moreed. It really did feel like a home away from home and I will be back. Hide
Janet

If you want to rest and destress this is the place to stay sitting in the hot tube watching the sunny going down in the evenings was so relaxing
Stephen

Laura
Lovely Cottage with scenic views. A lovely relaxing spot with hot tub and outdoor space. You can also take your fur babies.
Richard
The location is stunning with clear viws of the dam and Reservoir. And the night sky was superb.
Jenny
Beautiful cottage overlooking Kielder Water. Lovely seating area off the lounge area to admire the views from. Location nice and quiet but shops within 20 minutes drive. Wood fired hot tub, easy to use but first heat up took about 6 hours, after that it was ready to use after about 1/2 hours heating.
Stephen
Lovely period property with amazing views over the reservoir. Ideally located for walking and cycling the trails and paths around Kielder Water. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Sarah
The cottage is fabulous and cosy with amazing views. It had everything we needed and would recommend. Great for time out and relaxing and great for walks around the reserve or to the pub :)
Sarah
A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Very welcoming, exceptionally well equipped. Despite it being snowy, it was cozy. If you want peace, quiet and a very rural location, this is your place. Thankyou, loved it!
Gail
This is a beautiful cottage right at the heart of kielder. The views are stunning, and at night the sky is an absolute wonder because of its location. There are easy tranquil walks. The cottage has everything you need, it's cosy and the hosts are exceptional. We can't wait for our next visit. Thank you for your hospitality, you really made our holi day

Housing the most fascinating collection of Birds of Prey in the North East this centre is definitely worth a visit if you are staying in the Kielder Water area. Located in Falstone it's easy to get to and makes a great day out for both families and couples.  As well as seeing the amazing birds you can learn all about the captive breeding programme and the excellent work being done there.  Some of the highlights of the day might include watching a Falcon stoop down from the skies at over 100mph and admiring the grace of the Eagles, Kites and Hawks.
Go Ape Northumberland - NE48 1NT
about 22 Miles
Go Ape! has really taken off and become one of the most popular attractions in the UK.  The Northumberland course is set in the stunning grounds of Matfin Hall.  Described as a high wire forest adventure this really is one for the more daring as the course takes place right up in the tree tops.  Giant tree top obstacle courses include ladders, bridges, tunnels and some of the country's best zip lines.  You will be provided with all safety equipment and training on site.
Cragside House and Gardens - NE65 7PX
about 24 Miles
Cragside House and Gardens (National Trust) are a popular Northumberland attraction with a beautiful stately home and gorgeous grounds to explore. The rhododendron labyrinth is a unique and fun addition to the grounds and there is also an adventure playground where children can let of steam. It is the stunning scenery that attracts most of the visitors though with many bringing a picnic for a relaxing family day out. The house itself hosts exhibits which change regularly. World of the Water Wizard is currently on display.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 27 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
