Spa Cabin
We all lead busy lives, rushing from A to B, thinking of everyone else, making sure we just stay on top of things as well as being one step ahead.
"This is our second stay at The Hemmel and it was just as special as the first. The moment you walk in the door you immediately relax, which is also helped by a treatment with Catherine at The Cabin. We would also recommend using the star gazing kit that can be used upon request. Our first night was the perfect night for it and it was great fun to look up at the stars and watch the moon come over the hill. We are already discussing our next stay and can’t wait to return! Thank you very much to Terri, Matthew and the great team at Kidlandlee"
"We had the most amazing time at the Willow. Terri and her team have thought of absolutely everything to make Kidlandlee the most special place to stay. The accommodation was spotless and finished to an incredibly high and extremely tasteful standard. The views are out of this world, the calm is incredible. We want to live here!"
"Stayed at Kidlandlee several times now and love coming back to this beautiful location, the views from the cottages are simply stunning, walks in all directions from your front door, Leyland Barn itself is home from home, very comfortable, doggy friendly, all the amenities you need and very very clean, it really is five star accommodation, unfortunately this holiday has come to an end but already booked to come back up this August!"
"I almost don’t want to leave a review in case I then can’t book in the future due to Kidlandlee’s popularity. It is a bit of UK paradise. 3 miles from the nearest road (which is no more than a lane). All you can hear are birds singing. The views across the valley are stunning. You can’t help but just sit and gaze and realise how lucky you are to be here. If you’ve never been to this part of the World you don’t realise what you are missing. Book up now."
"It’s our last night here in Chaffinch cottage and we just want to say a huge thank you for the place you have created and the land you tend with such vision and care. We have loved walking in every direction, out every day but only once getting in our car! The regenerative, low carbon vision of this paradise is the main thing that drew us here and it is such an inspiration to see how you are making it work!
"A gem! A genuine 5-star cottage lacking in nothing and with views that are truly spectacular. The owners have spared no expense to ensure visitors have a memorable holiday with its high-quality furnishings and fittings through to the superior welcoming gifts. We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages over many years and it is rare to come across this standard. A deserved winner."
"A lot of places with spectacular countryside and surrounding views rest on their laurels, and often the quality of the accommodation is forgotten and feels a little tired. The Oak at Kidlandlee is not one of those places! It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and there was a lovely welcome pack. Add to this the most incredible views and it’s the perfect place to get away from it all. We visited the surrounding pubs and restaurants, but after eating just wanted to get back to the cottage, relax, and look at the wonderful views. Oh, and the outdoor bath is a must!"
Sustainable Tourism
Kidlandlee is an off-grid experience without compromising on luxury. Sustainable Tourism and our commitment to Improving/ lowering our environmental impact on what is one of the most beautiful hamlets nestled deep in the heart of Northumberland’s National Park , is why we have been awarded Gold with Green Tourism and Silver for Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable Tourism at the North East Tourism Awards this year.
Our cottages are powered by solar trackers and wind turbines, water is pumped from two bore holes and filtered on site, two bio waste systems naturally treat and dispose of your wastewater and we encourage wildlife habitats too so watch out for the Red Squirrels!
Supporting local businesses our Hospitality baskets are full of products locally sourced by Sue and her team at Tully’s of Rothbury, and our Stewardship this year will help us to support our Educational, tree planting and re wilding projects.
Our Visitors Charter has great ideas on how you can play your part whilst staying in our beautiful National Park and exploring all that is amazing about Northumberland!
Glo at The Spa Cabin
Many of our guests have said that their ‘one quiet moment’ happens once they get to Kidlandlee. The slower pace of life, and vibrant energy of the hills, soothes the mind/ body and makes you stand still, and reconnect.
With this in mind, we thought why not go the extra mile and allow our guests to experience a range of treatments to enhance that sense of well-being while at Kidlandlee.
We have teamed up with Glo who have created Rest and Unwind and Glo Platinum treatments that we think you will love in our dedicated treatment room right here on site. A rustic, wooden cabin, heated using wind-felled logs to create a warm and inviting space in keeping with our ‘Green’ ethos.
‘Spa to You’ Rest and Unwind, and Glo Platinum Treatment packages are for individuals, couples or even groups of friends & family staying together. You can create your own bespoke packages via the Glo Platinum range so there is something for everyone.
So why not take advantage of that ‘one quiet moment’ whilst you are staying with us and truly unwind, relax, and treat yourself to that well-deserved time for just you.
