Description

Stay here if you want to experience: panoramic views, glorious sunsets/sunrises, perfect views of the stars, wildlife, walking, and peace and quiet in an isolated location but with a pub 5 minutes drive away! Petty Knowes is also not just a summer destination! It is located within the International Dark Sky Park, and this, along with our unique location, means that on a clear night, you can look up into the night sky and see thousands of stars, the Milky Way, and the Andromeda Galaxy (2.5 million light years away) all with the naked eye and from the comfort of your private garden! In addition, the local pub does occasional dark sky events where you can go for a meal then be shown the stars through a telescope for a much closer look. There is also the close by Observatory at Kielder, a public astronomical observatory and educational centre where unforgettable memories are made beneath the stars.

The property has been renovated to a high standard, whilst care has been taken to retain many original features to add a wealth of character. Petty Knowes Cottage is an excellent choice for relaxing in comfort with touches of luxury, at any time of the year.

Enter into the stylish sitting room which is designed with comfort in mind. Leather sofas with throws and cushions provide ample seating with a porters chair for those who prefer their own space! The lighting can be ambient or set according to your mood with a dimmer facility on the main light and a selection of lamps and candles. You can curl up on the sofas and relax in front of the open fire, play cards/games on the games table, (a selection is available for your use) and there is a 42" TV, DVD player and a large selection of DVD’s.

Walk through to the open-plan fully equipped kitchen/diner, where you will find all the necessary appliances for rustling up some delicious meals. There is also a washer/dryer, so you don't have to bring your whole wardrobe with you during your stay.

The luxury bathroom provides a bath and over shower, with Egyptian cotton towels and sumptuous underfloor heating.

Once the evening draws to a close, retire to the super king-size bedroom which has its own woodburning stove and a wall mounted TV so you don't have to move to watch your favourite morning shows whilst relaxing in the soft Egyptian cotton bedding.

There is a secret snug (behind the mirror) with stone walls and a day bed, perfect for curling up and reading a book.

To the front of the cottage, there is a private decking area which comes with outdoor furniture, meaning you can dine alfresco or simply enjoy a refreshing drink as the sun sets.

Guests are welcome to use the owner’s hot tub during their stay, adding a spot of luxury to your romantic getaway. Plastic glasses are provided so you can enjoy a drink whilst watching the stars or enjoying the rolling countryside.

Beautiful cosy cottage, spotlessly clean and comfy.

Welcome basket was a lovely addition. Really quiet location and dark at night if you want peace and quiet. Hosts were really friendly and helpful.
