What to Expect
A renovated former hunting lodge situated in Northumberland National Park with spectacular views over Catcleugh Reservoir. While remote, the farmhouse is well connected for guests to explore Kielder, The Borders and other attractions in North East as well as across the border in Scotland. Surrounded by nature, the house is also situated in one of Europe’s largest International Dark Sky Parks (Gold-Tier) - achieving the most ‘pristine dark skies’ in England (CPRE Night Blight Report 2016), making it one of the best places in the country to go stargazing and viewing the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

❋ Surrounding Grounds
The house sits amongst various gardens, woodlands and streams that are designed to be outdoor spaces & features to enjoy. Some parts are still in development as they become established, but this is to be a centre point of the experience at Catcleugh. You’ll immediately notice the fresh clean air, as evidenced by the lichen that grip the trees.
❋ Wildlife and Nature
You’ll know instantly that you’re in a national park with all sorts of wildlife everywhere, from dragon flies, butterflies, bats and barn owls; to frogs, newts and beetles to red squirrels, rabbits and feral goats.
