Home close to the observatory, lake & castle
Stay in the historic Station Master’s House, a Northumberland landmark with its own model in Bellingham Heritage Centre. Enjoy breakfast where the platform once stood, then walk the former railway line, the miles of scenic walks or ride one of the fabulous bike trails right from your door. Kielder water is just 2min away, we are the closest house to Kielder Observatory — our dark sky is ideal for stargazing or spotting the ISS. Spot Housemartins, Sedge Warblers, Goldfinches and more. Sleeps 6
Step into a piece of history with all the modern comforts you could want. Originally built in 1860 and now beautifully reimagined, this character-filled home combines timeless charm with a chic, modern vibe. It features a stylish, state-of-the-art kitchen and a cozy wood-burning stove , and thoughtful touches throughout designed for relaxation and style.
For guests who prefer single-level living with no stairs, there is a large ground floor bedroom with a double bed, blackout curtains and an en-suite with a shower.
Upstairs, the large master bedroom overlooks the garden and features a luxurious king-sized bed along with a walk-in wardrobe, giving you plenty of space to settle in. The second upstairs room includes a comfortable double bed, and both share a luxurious bathroom highlighted by an exposed stone wall and modern fittings.
Start your mornings with freshly brewed bean-to-cup coffee and end your evenings with a glass from the wine chiller by the warm glow of the wood-burning stove. With fast 5G Wi-Fi, and a large smart TV you have all the comforts of home in a peaceful countryside setting.
Outside, you’ll find a peaceful patio and garden where local birds often visit. We frequently have feasants and even a resident owl occasionally likes to perch on the garden post.
From the doorstep this house offers simple access to the very best of Kielder — from scenic bike rides to breathtaking forest walks to Kielder castle, the lake, café, pub, and local facilities, all just a short stroll or ride away.
For those interested in Astronomy, this is the closest house to the Kielder Observatory, so you’ll have prime stargazing opportunities. We’ve even provided a telescope so you can make the most of our famous dark skies—and maybe spot the International Space Station on a clear night.
It’s a perfect, soothing retreat to enjoy all that Kielder has to offer.
You can enjoy the entire property during your stay, with private gated parking and access via a smart lock door with your own pin.
The major supermarkets deliver here, so you might want to book a slot if you don't wish to travel with food, and if you enjoy your own brand of coffee bean, feel free to bring them along too!
