A unique off-grid retreat for groups seeking adventure, wilderness and dark skies

In a stunning and remote location at the heart of Kielder Forest, Willow Bog Cottage is the perfect base for groups looking to get away from it all and experience the great outdoors.

With the excitement of off-grid living, spectacular dark skies, and miles of wilderness on the doorstep, Willow Bog Cottage offers an authentic off-grid experience without sacrificing the comforts you need after a day of adventure.

The cottage has electricity supplied by a generator and central heating from LPG gas. There is no Wi-Fi or mobile phone reception. The signal improves at higher ground, with some reception available around a five-minute walk away.

The cottage can accommodate up to 32 people across 5 bedrooms, with plenty of space for camping for those who prefer to sleep under canvas. Whether you're planning a weekend of hiking, wildlife watching, or simply escaping into nature, your group has exclusive use of the cottage with plenty of room to make the place your own.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, dining room with an open fire, cosy snug with a fireplace, and a games/boot room – ideal for drying off and warming up after a day exploring the moors.

Outside, the garden provides plenty of space for camping, outdoor games, activities, and group gatherings. The property is accessible by road and has car parking for about 10 cars, making it easy to bring all the equipment you need for your adventure.

Your overnight stay includes diesel for the generator, gas bottles for the central heating, along with coal and firewood, so you can enjoy the unique off-grid experience while still having the essentials covered. Catering options may also be available on request.

With year-round access to outdoor activities and easy access to local attractions including Kielder Castle, Kielder Observatory and Kielder Waterside, Willow Bog Cottage is an ideal base for outdoor clubs, adventure groups, walking groups, school and youth groups, or simply friends and families looking for a wild escape together.

And when night falls, step outside and look up. With some of the darkest skies in England, the stars at Willow Bog Cottage are something to behold.
