We booked to stay here while visiting Kielder Observatory, and we weren't disappointed. It's a 25-ish minute drive to the observatory and it's a very easy drive. The huts are amazing and so cosy, loved the little kitchen and the bed was very comfy. Falstone Farm was super easy to find, only thing that confused us a little was what to do when we got there - the reception isn't easy to spot. We found our hut and the keys were just in the door so we let ourselves in. It was pitch black when we arrived which didn't help us - take a torch! The hut itself was amazing, would definitely stay again. We took food, drinks and snacks - only thing we didn't take was milk unfortunately, as we assumed there would be milk with the free tea and coffee. I hate black tea so we just had hot water - take your own milk if you enjoy a cuppa! The underfloor heating was not working so we were given complementary wood for the fire burner which was nice. There are some board games in the hut which we did enjoy while we were waiting to go to Kielder. We had no signal so was lovely to get away from it all and enjoy some quality time together. Overall we loved the stay and would definitely return. It was lush to drive back here after going to the observatory (where we were freezing!!) and get cosy in the bed! Views when we woke up were lovely, it looked like we were in a Christmas card with...
Read moreWe stayed in Meadow View for two nights. The hut and its garden could be very pretty, but I’m afraid they are tired and neglected. The hut needs a good deep clean especially in the kitchen and shelves at head of the bed. Too much clutter. The underfloor heating did not seem to be working and the radiator seemed to work erratically. The curtains were thin, tired voile which let the light in. The towels were past their best.||However the bed was very comfortable and the shower powerful and clean .||Outside was the most disappointing, the grass needed a cut and a weed. The lanterns and ornaments were rusty and some broken items were shoved under the hut. The garden furniture was exceedingly poor, old mismatched and not fit for use-fortunately we’d brought our own camping chairs. Even the lovely dovecote was wonky. ||The directions to the hut were vague, once we got to Falstone we had to ask in the pub where they were as they were never marketed under Falstone Barns. Luckily a local knew they were the same place.||I think to call them ‘Posh huts’ is disgenuine, ‘Tired Huts’ would be more accurate. We paid £240 for two nights in September, that’s a posh price for lack luster...
Read moreWe stayed for 3 nights in August and really enjoyed our time here. Huts were beautiful inside and out. Lovely outdoor area for chilling by the fire pit, weather was hit and miss so no clear skies for us unfortunately but we still enjoyed the fire pit most nights.||The hut was well equipped although kitchen lacked a little as we like to cook. Only minor things such there being only one tea spoon and one fork (luckily we managed to find a plastic one!). There was a cooker but you couldn't use the oven and the hobs at the same time which was tricky.....but we did manage to cook lovely meals still. As I say nothing major but worth noting.||We did have a lovely time and would...
