If so, take a look at this Airbnb. Located at Lanehead, the Bunkhouse at Tarset Tor is perfectly positioned for visiting Kielder Water and Forest Park, Bellingham Village, and Otterburn Mill. Though its contemporary sleeping quarters are currently only open to 6 guests, once restrictions are lifted it can sleep 16 – 20 guests across four separate rooms. There’s also a kitchen, dining room and open living area with floor to ceiling windows where you can enjoy views of the rolling hills of Northumberland National Park. In terms of entertainment, there’s a pool table and TV. However, with mountain bike trails, River Tyne fishing, and loads of local activities on your doorstep, you may not be around too much to use them!
