We had a lovely stay at Kielder Kip House. It really was a home from home furnished with everything we could possibly need during our break, including a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer which was very useful.The enclosed garden at the back was great for the dogs to explore and was perfect for stargazing at night and listening to the dawn chorus first thing.The hosts were amazing and provided a wealth of information about the area ahead of our stay. The welcome pack, including delicious home made scones, chocolates and even dog treats was much appreciated.The location was good, in Kielder village, with a play park, basketball hoop and football field on the doorstep, access to some really lovely walks, and easy driving distance to the Observatory, Kielder Waterside and Bellingham (lovely walk to Hareshaw Linn waterfall).We would highly recommend this property!
