Chaffinch Cottage, Kidlandlee

A perfect stay in a glorious location. Kidlandlee is heavenly.

Chaffinch Cottage on the Kidlandlee estate turned out to perfectly match the description provided on the publicity / website. The cottage and its location are indeed the answer if you need peace and quiet, assured by a natural environment that is beautiful and uncontaminated as well as by accommodation that is spacious, well appointed, tastefully decorated. We loved the sense of space, and the fact that whatever we needed ‘domestically’ was there, and worked well, was efficient and harmonious. The whole estate clearly deserves the Gold Award and other similar recognition.

We very much enjoyed our week at Chaffinch Cottage. It was immaculate, kitted out to the highest level from the Denby crockery to the (presumably) White Company bedding, tweed cushion covers and cosy chenille throws. It's in a remote spot, e miles up a stony track, but the peace, views & stargazing make this utterly worth it. A very special part of the world.

Lovely place! The house is spotless, the surroundings absolutely beautiful and the owners most welcoming and helpful. This is a destinasjon I highly recommend!

Just perfect

All I need to say is that we rebooked the same day we returned home! We have never done that before! It’s the most wonderful place if you want to recharge. The cottage is absolutely delightful. Beautifully furnished with so many extra treats. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. The track up to the cottages does seem a little daunting the first time you drive up it but the location and view once you reach your destination is breathtaking. It certainly is worth it!

A relaxing time in the very comfortable and well equipped Chaffinch Cottage. It is the most stunning location with far reaching views and fabulous walks all around.

A truly remote and wonderfully peaceful location, great for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. There are some good, long walks from the door and even better mountain biking and trail running options. The cottage is warm and comfortable, very well-equipped, and has fantastic views across the hills. There is also a lot to do in the area in all seasons. We would definitely book again.

Kidlandlee (and the team that run it) is remarkable: walks aplenty, breathtaking views, welcoming fires on chilly days and heartfelt hospitality all combine to showcase a perfect combination. Terri and Matthew's previous renovation and theatrical experience have resulted in a stay that makes the most of the jaw-dropping scenery. The sheer remoteness of the location means that off-grid is a big part of their provision, but this is off-grid meets luxury and it in no way interferes with your stay. We were inspired to start researching off-grid solutions for ourselves.

Wonderful place, set in the most beautiful scenery. No corners are cut in the cottage, and they've spent money on all the areas where higher quality makes a difference to comfort or environmental footprint. The location is quite isolated, and getting up the last couple of miles out of season may be tricky. However, there is lovely walking straight out of the door, and it's a good base to explore other areas of Northumberland (the beaches are an hour away, Hadrian's wall a few minute further). The owners are also very responsive to queries. All in all, one of the best holidays we've had

This was our first visit to Kidlandlee, what an amazing, stunning location with a beautiful cottage upon arrival. The accommodation was so well appointed and thoughtfully laid out/furnished, it truly feels like you are staying in a much loved home. Terri, Matthew, their family and Oscar & Indie are all lovely, nothing too much trouble - and always around if needed. Can't wait to visit again, a week wasn't long enough. Thank you, Kathryn, Andy, Matthew, Samantha & Lady :-) xxx

A beautifully equipped and furnished cottage and a most stunning location - perfect for walking, cycling, exploring the beautiful Northumberland National Park or somewhere to chill and look at the views!
