About this property
This attractive, detached cottage is situated in the pretty Northumberland village of Falstone, just a stone's throw away from Kielder Water & Forest Park. Beautifully appointed throughout and providing light and airy accommodation, this Falstone cottage is ideal for families and friends looking for a relaxing retreat where they can enjoy time together and explore the countryside. The front of this Northumberland cottage boasts stunning views of the surrounding forest and the North Tyne River after it exits Kielder Water. With lovely furnishings, this Falstone cottage provides three bedrooms and a beautifully fitted, modern kitchen, a great place to prepare home-cooked food before everyone gathers together in the dining room. The welcoming sitting room has a comfy leather sofa and chair, perfect to relax in after a day out walking or cycling. The gardens to the side of this Falstone cottage meander up past the stream and directly to a woodland cycle path, which leads into the Kielder Forest, Kielder dam and the Lakeland Way cycle route, all just a five minute ride away, plus only 150 yards from this holiday home is the North Tyne River, where fishing can be enjoyed (permit required). If all this sightseeing has increased your appetite, why not take a walk to the local pub or tea rooms in Falstone and sample some of the many delights on offer. With the Scottish border just eight miles away and the Heritage Coast and Hadrian's Wall just over an hour's drive, this Falstone cottage is in an ideal position for exploring this vast historic county.
Falstone is a delightful village, lying at the edge of Kielder Forest, Northern Europe's largest forest and at the foot of Kielder Water which is the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe.

We didn't use the car all week just walked from the door to Kielder forest, Kielder water and Falstone village. The cafe in the village is excellent. We have just booked again for next year.

The garden is great for dogs but be advised it is open at the top. My daughter particularly lived using the telescope at night to look at the stars/moon. A great place for a base for exploring, lots of different walks literally on your doorstep from the top of the garden. Kielder Forrest is so lovely and lots of walking to be done there, it's about a 15 min walk away from the cottage and there are quite a few different paths signposted in the car park.... its beautiful on a sunny day with the view over the water.... it is huge! :) The village is literally a 10 min walk away with a lovely little pub that is very welcoming with a roaring fire and allows dogs (just make a note of the opening times) The Tea Shop is great and the owners are beyond helpful and friendly....they also allow dogs in here and the cheesecake is amazing... they also sell a small amount of essentials and some local art :) (again make note of the openjng times) Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it..... :) The only couple of recommendations I would make would be some soft furnishings/cushions on the sofa and maybe some games/cards or books for days when the weather is not so good. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay, the locals are very friendly and helpful and we would definitely go back :)
