Oliver

We loved staying here! The cottage's position at the edge of Kielder Water offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. It's super cosy and well-stocked, making it feel like a home away from home. The beds are comfy and the bedrooms overlook the lake, which is a real treat. The hot tub takes a little time to warm up, but totally worth the wait. Perfect for a peaceful, scenic escapeand we'll definitely return!

Emma T.

We just spent a fantastic week at Otterstone cottageand honestly, it was exactly what we needed for a peaceful getaway. The location is stunning and super tranquil. The cottage feels really cosy and welcoming, especially the sitting room with the lovely fire-so warm and inviting. The views are absolutely breathtakingand the beds are incredibly comfortable; we slept like logs. The shower was a bit snug for my 6ft 1in son, but he enjoyed the bath instead. The hot tub took ages to warm up and was a bit tricky to keep hot, so we only used it a couple of times. Overall, a lovely stay and we'd definitely recommend it!

David

The location of this cottage is fantastic, with lovely views over Kielder Water. We really enjoyed seeing the osprey every day. Inside, it's quite comfy, but the decor feels a bit out of date. The decking and plant pots definitely need some paintand adding some summer bedding plants would brighten things up. The garden could do with weeding and nettle removal. With a little update, this place could be truly fabulous!

Charlotte

We stayed at the cottage recently and honestly, it was a mixed bag. It's a bit tired inside, but very clean which we appreciated. The location is fantastic-amazing views and a spacious garden, so no worries about being overlooked. We loved watching ospreys catch fish and the sunsets-absolutely stunning! The midges started biting, but incense sticks helped keep them at bay. It's a shame we couldn't sit outside more, though, since the patio doors in the living room meant we could still enjoy the scenery from indoors. Overall, a lovely spot with some quirks!

Matt

We loved the cottage, it was spotlessly clean and really comfy. The hot tub was absolutely fantastic - we spent ages in it, especially enjoying the stunning views. We burned through all the logs for the fires and hot tub, definitely worth it! Only thing was, none of the pubs were open on Monday, but honestly, we didn't mind too much. Great stay!

Emma

The place is fantastic! We've been twice now and definitely plan to return. The hosts, Margaret and Dave, were especially wonderful during the storm blackout. Can't recommend them enough-really made our stay special. Thanks so much for everything!

Emily Carter

When we arrived, the weather was pretty foggy and drizzly, so we couldn't get a good look at the surroundings right away. But once inside, the cottage felt super cosy and welcomingand it was surprisingly spacious. The next morning, waking up to those incredible views really took our breath away-simply stunning! The place is beautifully decorated and fully equipped, making it feel just like a home from home. We'll definitely be returning!

James

Peaceful and lovely

Emma Johnson

Really enjoyed staying here! The house is charming, with beautiful views of the reservoir. Perfect spot for cycling and walking. Very tranquil and just what we needed!

Emily

The cottage was really charming and perfect for relaxing. It had all we needed, plus fantastic views. Ideal for walks in the reserve or just unwinding. Definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!
