Kielder Cottage

Northumberland

Northumberland International Dark Sky Park · Adjacent · 7 miles

Sleeps 6 Wood Burner Star Deck Dog Friendly

Overview

Overlooking Kielder Water and surrounded by the landscapes of Northumberland National Park, Kielder Cottage is the kind of place where days are spent outdoors and evenings naturally drift towards the stars. Sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms, it's an ideal escape for families, friends and anyone looking to experience one of Britain's darkest night skies.

Just seven miles from the award-winning Kielder Observatory and within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, the cottage is perfectly placed for unforgettable nights beneath the stars. After a day exploring the forest, reservoir or nearby walking trails, relax on the decking as darkness falls over the valley.

Inside you'll find a cosy open fire, comfortable living spaces and everything needed for a relaxing countryside stay. Whether you're visiting for adventure, astronomy or simply a few quiet days away, Kielder Cottage offers a wonderful base in one of England's most celebrated dark-sky destinations.

Stargazing guide

As darkness settles over Kielder Water, the deck becomes the best seat in the house. With peaceful reservoir views and very little surrounding light, it's an easy place to slow down, look up and enjoy one of England's finest night skies.
