CASTLE COTTAGE

Welcome to Castle Cottage, Kielder

 

Castle Cottage has an enviable location in Kielder Forest Park and a great view of Kielder Castle.  

We have 2 bedrooms and can accommodate 4/5 guests,  2 well behaved dogs are also welcome.

 

The area is famous for its International Dark Sky status and we are only 2.5 miles from award winning Kielder Observatory with its wide range of stargazing events.   

 

Castle Cottage is equally perfect for a peaceful relaxing break or an adventure packed holiday - enjoy outdoor activities by day and be mesmerised by our dark skies at night.

 

The vast forest surrounding Kielder Water has numerous bike trails, walks and art projects to explore together with 3 visitor centres.  You won't be short of outdoor pursuits with walking, cycling, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, sailing, crazy golf and archery to choose from together with Lakeside swimming pool and gym.  Hire a bike to explore or choose to relax with a cruise on the Osprey Ferry.    

Visit Kielder Salmon Centre, escape from the Minotaur Maze or follow the Zog trail !   

​

Kielder has an abundance of wildlife including red squirrels, roe deer and osprey.  Kielder Bird of Prey Centre is also well worth a visit.

 

Kielder Castle is partially closed for refurbishment but expected to reopen in 2024 with a new visitor centre and cafe.   Takeaway food and drinks are available from the Street Diner outside the building.
