The Experience
You’re surrounded by glorious nature: grasslands, moors and heather-covered hills are yours to stride, woodlands are filled with bird life, you’ll spot lively red squirrels and hear many sheep; it’s grand up here. Your uncluttered, calming sitting room has a cosy wood-burner, books, DVDS and games for settling in on foul weather days, the sleek kitchen has all the kit you need and you’ll find a welcome basket of local goodies and sparkling wine.
The spacious bedroom has a king-size bed (or twins) and sliding glass doors to a patio with probably the best views in the UK. Drink your morning tea while gazing at the Cheviot Hills and plan your day. Walks from the door are sublime, and you can ask for massages, holistic treatments and much more but you also have your own Shanti room with a freestanding brass tub.
You’re in a Dark Sky area so make the most of any clear nights by ordering a stargazing kit and setting up on the patio.

Absolutely beautiful stay. So many little touches that make this place a real luxury. The oak has everything you need, we didn’t venture out to the villages as the place was so well equipped we didn’t need or want to! The view is spectacular and with the log burner absolutely perfect. Fantastic base for walking the cheviots, lots of places to wonder but easy to navigate back to Kidlandlee. A very happy Labrador with his creature comforts and his own welcome back! We can’t wait to be back!

Well what a wonderful week in peaceful Kidlandlee. From the moment we arrived till the moment we left, we didn’t want to leave. The Oak is a holiday home that has been designed to make relaxation second nature. There is no detail that hasn’t been thought about - the attention to detail and luxury is staggering. There is everything you could possibly need to cook, BBQ, explore or simply chill. The tranquility and stunning scenery is amazing, with the beautiful views and abundant wildlife. A big thank you for the very generous hamper. We have booked to return to this little piece of Heaven.

A lot of places with spectacular countryside and surrounding views rest on their laurels, and often the quality of the accommodation is forgotten and feels a little tired. The Oak at Kidlandlee is not one of those places! It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and there was a lovely welcome pack. Add to this the most incredible views and it’s the perfect place to get away from it all. We visited the surrounding pubs and restaurants, but after eating just wanted to get back to the cottage, relax, and look at the wonderful views. Oh, and the outdoor bath is a must!

Location
The neighbourhood
Footpaths from the door will take you along a myriad of footpaths up into the hills or down into the valley where the river Coquet flows merrily along. The nearest pubs are at Harbottle or Alwinton, both four miles. Thropton has a garage shop and is eight miles. Rothbury is a 25-minute drive for bigger shops and cafés. Alnwick is 14 miles for castle and gardens; the coast is just under an hour.
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 favorite.. The Village has amazing coffee shops and dog friendly pubs. Visit the School House Gallery for famous local art work 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.
Another fantastic stay at The Oak. Everything you need for a relaxing break with breathtaking views.
