Very friendly staff and in a lovely location. Excellent meals in the restaurant and nice atmosphere. The cycle tracks around the lake are a challenge but a worthwhile one. More

Excellent caravan site on a beatufil location. Pitch we were was very nice even weather was awful. It rained all week and altough some areas were muddy, which you woul expect in the great British weather, there were no major issues. Only issue was that we didn't have electricity for a couple of hours on two days but I'm not... More

Fantastic weekend that the kids really enjoyed. We did the first weekend of the season and it was very quiet, so the kids got to have extra turns on the doughnut slide and skating rink.

Took our family here for a short break over the February half-term and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodges are about as remote as you can get in England and amid lovely scenery. They are probably not for you if you want to be near civilisation however. If the great outdoors, cycling, walking, fishing etc are your thing... More

Spending an hour or so on Kielder Water on the boat Osprey was a good way to spend a dull afternoon. Informative audio guide and very pleasant boatmen rounded-off the afternoon. More

It's a lovely venue, with beautiful scenery and walks. Lots of boating activity too. But the Boat Inn lets the place down. As we sat waiting for lunch we noticed the table next to us was covered in bread crumbs. After some time, a waiter came with a cloth in his hand. We could tell by the smell that it... More
