About this property

This cottage is a real gem offering peaceful rural life with green views, plus a small paddock which takes you down through woodland to the banks of the Smales burn. No 2 Smalesmouth Cottage is located in an area that contains some of the darkest skies in Europe. Step out and walk up the fell for 800 metres to the edge of the giant Kielder forest, which actually began its life here with initial planting in 1926. Only a mile or so away is the spectacular Kielder water, with its terrific views, along with walking and cycling tracks. Plus, shops and a restaurant.
