Hartam House, Falstone, Hexham, Northumberland, NE48 1BB

As a previous guest stated the photograph on the website is misleading as it gives the impression that this cottage is on its own when in truth it is at the end of a line of other houses and overlooked by two at the side of it. So would recommend people bear this in mind if looking for a more isolated position. This said the cottage itself was of a high standard and you wanted for nothing. The best part though is the fact that the path at the bottom of the garden leads straight to Kielder Water. Lovely wecome of flowers tea, sugar coffee and a bottle of wine

We are just coming to the end of our week in this beautiful house. Unlike the other reviewer that marked the place down for an overgrown garden, we found the garden to be very neat and tidy and nor did we hear a peep out of the neighbours. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone , especially those wanting a quiet and relaxing break in the Kielder area, it's very central for exploring. We loved the stream in the garden and the access to the cycle path beyond and then on to the lakeside walk. The house was very well equipped, with great attention

Felt duped by the photos of the property. Looked from the photos as if it were on it's own when in fact it was on an estate with houses overlooking on 3 sides with noisy dogs and children. Not the peaceful retreat we had hoped for. The garden was neglected and overgrown including brambles and nettles and, again, not like the photos.

The interior was extremely clean and the open fire lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Flowers and wine on arrival. We did not get to meet the owner so were unable to pass on disappointment with t
