  We had a fantastic week with family at this gorgeous property.

  The views front and back were stunning and the area was very peaceful and restful. It was nice to sit out in the hot tub and I imagine when the stars are out it would be even better. We had a lot of rain and cloud for our week, so also got to enjoy snuggling up on the comfy sofas in front of the log burner and the TV. It was brilliant to have 2 en-suite bathrooms plus the family bathroom. The large table was super for eating all together and playing cards and games together on. So many lovely finishing touches in the property, a very well equipped kitchen and the nicknacks with the fox theme were a lovely addition. The welcome hamper was incredibly generous and thoughtful and appealed to us all with Prosecco, chocolate, pint of milk, coffee, tea, biscuits, jams- a kind thought to include a bubble wand and chocolate stars for my 10 year old daughter also. The pub a 2 minute walk away, The Pheasant Inn, did great food and the tea room in Falstone was super for cake or lunch. Falstone also has a very good playground for kids and a pub that looked good too. We enjoyed walking in the area and at Kielder Forest. Booked tickets for the Kielder Observatory which was great and The Bird of Prey Centre was excellent. We drove to Alnwick and toured the castle and loved the National Trust property, Cragside. A fun week for us all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property as it was perfect, in fact the best rental we have ever stayed in. Many thanks to Jill the owner who was very kind when our car broke down at the end of our stay. (Please remember your midge protection creams and lotions, as you are near Kielder Water/Forest so they are to be expected. A midge protector was also provided by the owner).

  We have just returned from 7 day stay at Fox View Cottage .

  The whole cottage exceeded our expectations it was furnished to a very high standard. Excellent having 3 bathrooms so everybody had their own bathroom. 2 en-suite plus lovely roll top bath with spectacular views of the countryside The cottage was warm & inviting especially when the roaring log fire was lit in the evening. The walk up the hill opposite the cottage was great for our dog Ted especially in the mornings Perfect location to get away from everyday life & fully recharge your batteries in peace & tranquility. Plenty of different Walks around keilder water only a few minutes drive away. Some suitable for a mobility scooter especially keilder waterside visitors centre. Lindisfarne ( Holy Island) & Beamish living museum both approx 1hr 30mins away & well worth a visit. Pub few minutes walk away but didn’t use it as we had the dog with us. Lovely extra touches including welcome basket including cheeky bottle of Prosecco not forgetting a lovely welcome for Ted including dog bed towel & blankets, dishes treats & toys ( Ted will definitely be booking again.) such attention to detail by the lovely owner Jill . It was all much appreciated & we will definitely be booking another stay.

  A perfect place for a reunion of friends. Lots of space for activities (including outdoor space which unfortunately the weather did not allow us to utilise). The sauna and pool were thoroughly enjoyed. The large dining table made all meals very sociable and there were lots of pots and pans for cooking. There was no undesirable bedroom which made choosing rooms less competitive and all beds were comfy. Lots of blankets were provided across the house for warmth. The large sofa room comfortably fit all guests and allowed us to relax together. On one evening, we went to the holly bush inn for a meal, which was delicious and we would reccommend. Due to our large group size, a booking was required. The only problem was that the bins from the previous customer had not been removed meaning there was no space for our rubbish and the wind had caused rubbish to be spread across the front driveway. If you want to play ping pong, bring balls. Overall, we had a fun new years in this lovely house.

  Beautiful location.

  Good quality, comfortable furnishings for the price. Kitchen has everything needed, again a good standard of fixings and appliances. Bathroom appliances, fixings and decor could do with some upgrading, but more than adequate and satisfactory. However, we arrived to a cold house ( this was not unexpected ) and although we managed after a short period of time to work the heating system, someone with less familiarity and experience in using these systems could of struggled for far longer with the overcomplicated programs and functions. The ensuite bedroom bed was covered in long black animal hairs, all over the sheet and under the duvet. We attempted to change the sheet ourselves. The spare sheets stored within the bed draws were stained with blood. Disgusting as I'm sure you would agree. Note we have taken pictures of the above as proof. A long red hair was found in the bathroom off the hall. Thank you.

  The property and location are wonderful.

  The photos don't do it justice. It is secluded and peaceful. Set next to the North Tyne River, we had wonderful views from the house and beautiful nights to sit and watch the stars on the bench. Dog walks on the doorstep. Loved watching the fish jump out of the river to catch bugs. Spotted a heron, pheasants and other birds. My husband spotted a deer and lots of squirrels. The house is comfortable and homely, with everything you need. Hexham is close enough to stock up. We also visited Newcastle for some Christmas shopping. Loving the Quentin Blake Fenwick window display. Also visited Kielder Water. We visited out of season but still plenty to do and see. Thank you for the bottle of bubbly, biscuits and fudge. N8ce surprise! Would love to return as ideal spot to visit our son at Uni.
