Welcome

Sitting 1400 feet above sea level deep in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, this is a place of big sky views and never-ending walking and cycling from the doorstep. Surrounded by the beautifully rugged hills of the Upper Coquet Valley, this really is a place to escape the crowds and get away from it all.  An off-grid experience without compromising on luxury. Sustainable Tourism and a commitment to Improving our environmental impact is why we have been awarded Gold with Green Tourism. An executive escape, or a fun filled family holiday, the calm natural beauty of Kidlandlee will certainly send you home relaxed, refreshed and with plenty of fond holiday memories.
