The Experience
1400 feet above the Coquet valley floor and surrounded by acres of grasslands, heather-covered moors and forests, this is just the ticket for walkers, nature lovers and peace seekers. Back at your timber-clad cottage you’ll find an unfussy, calming vibe with a spacious living room, view-filled bedroom and a kitchen with plenty of bells and whistles. On cooler days you can light the wood-burner and snuggle down to watch a film while delving into the welcome hamper – chocolate, biscuits, fizz and more.
Views from your bed are stunning, through sliding doors and over the Cheviot Hills to Simonside. Outside is your own patio leading to a grassed area and newly planted trees. Lovely to sit out here and listen to the sound of birds, sheep and the wind in the trees. Better still, you can slide into your covered outdoor Shanti bath and soak in some Penhaligon’s bubbles.
Extras include holistic treatments and a stargazing pack for stunning skies.

Another 5* stay here in Kidlandlee, having previously stayed in the Old Barn - we welcomed the added luxury of the outdoor copper bath in the Elm during this stay. Beautiful scenery, and whilst we would love to keep this place our secret we have already highly recommended to friends and family.

The Elm is an outstanding holiday home with all the home comforts we needed and so much more. The tranquility and views we experienced at Kidlandlee were unmatched by anywhere else we have stayed. The accommodation was stunning and so much thought had been put into making our stay such a wonderful and relaxed experience. The welcome packs, facilities and information provided were exceptional!! We really didn't want to leave and are already planning our next stay. Well done Kidlandlee, you truly are outstanding hosts!

A beautiful stay at such a perfect location. A real escape, with incredible views and tranquility, but also a suitable base for us to get out and explore lots of what Northumberland had to offer. The welcome bags and personal touches were a great and welcome addition and we would absolutely love to return.

Location
The neighbourhood
The nearest shop/garage is eight miles away in Thropton although there are pubs four miles away in either Harbottle or Alwinton. Rothbury (14 miles) is a charming market town with some good shops and cafés; Alnwick is 18 miles for the wonderful castle, gardens and the fabulous Barter Books. The coast is just under an hour for castles, fine beaches with dunes and boat trips to the Farne Isles.
Local points of interest from Terri & Matthew Stock
- Visit Craigside House! A wonderful day out for the whole family and doggies too. Building camps in the woods, nature trails, kayaking and canoeing on the lake. Beautiful gardens and house full of local history and inventions. Our favorite place to go!
- For Harry Potter fans! Alnwick Castle is a fantastic day out for all the family. Learn about the history of Alnwick and enjoy the beautiful award-winning gardens created by The Duchess of Northumberland. Activities, concerts, and magical fun!
- Barter Books is one of the biggest second-hand bookstores in the country. Great for rainy days. Preserved beautifully, it is located in the old Alnwick Train Station. Sit, read, and relax with a cuppa in restored waiting rooms with open fires. Dogs welco
- Holy Island and the Farne Islands are a great day out. Spot seals and puffins as you travel by boat. Visit the home of Grace Darling, Longstone Light House and find out how her amazing courage inspired the first lifeboats to patrol our shores.
- Alnmouth Beach is the start of amazing castle walks and the beach itself is stunning and the local’s favourite. The Village has amazing coffee shops and dog friendly pubs. Visit the School House Gallery for famous local artwork and cultural events.
- The Star Inn in Harbottle is loved by guests for its warm welcome and is at the heart of the community. You can dine in or pick up a takeaway on your way back to the cottage. It's dog friendly too so you can take them with you.

Introducing
Terri & Matthew Stock
Terri and Matthew moved to Kidlandlee Estate from Kent in 2017 with their children and two Labradors. Matthew had a renovation business which he has put to good use on the cottages and buildings, and Terri was a stage manager in the theatre in London for a number of years. They hope their guests enjoy the peace and tranquillity, have fun exploring the hills, valleys and beaches and totally unwind during their stay.
The Elm was a perfect, luxurious escape. Really well designed and has everything you need for a few days away from it all.
