"Lovely welcome to one of the nicest cottages we've stayed in.  Cottage cosy and well equipped, the perfect place for a really 'chill out' holiday.  Weather typical January.  Went for a walk in the Kielder Forest, no-one else around!  Masses of birds in the garden. Nice to see badger, foxes and barn owls at such close quarters on the wildlife cameras.  Would love to come back!"
