Kellah Farm Cottages

A rural setting for a perfect holiday

Kellah Farm Cottages provide self-catering holiday accomodation with open coal fires situated on a working hill farm at Kellah, a former mining community, four miles from Haltwhistle, Northumberland which is on the A69 from Carlisle to Newcastle.

Excellent starting point

An ideal base for exploring Hadrian's Wall Country, the North and South Tyne Valleys and walking in the Pennines. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are an hours drive away, and the Border Counties of Scotland are also within easy reach.

Haltwhistle itself is on the main Carlisle-Newcastle railway line and has an excellent range of services and shops as well as the nearest public transport by bus.

A Beautiful place

There are many fascinating walks in the countryside and hills nearby, including the Pennine Way which passes only a few hundred yards away, and the South Tyne Trail which follows the disused railway line from Alston passing over the newly restored Lambley Viaduct. Fishing, bird- watching and pony-trekking are just a few of the many local attractions, and a tour of the Roman Wall via the many local museums and visitor centres is a must.

Interesting educational and fun

At Kellah, children are encouraged to have hands-on experience of farming life by helping to feed the cattle, sheep and chickens as well as observing the day-to-day activities on a busy hill farm. Parents too can join in if they wish.

There is also is a games room with a pool table.

High Standards

All the cottages are inspected anually and graded by the Tourist Board and have a range of equipment such as cots, high chairs, fire-guards etc. making them suitable for all ages of family.

Two of the cottages Chapel View Cottage and Kellah Cottage have recently been regraded to 4 stars by the English Tourism Council, the other achieve 3 stars

Practical

Arrangements can be made for ordering groceries and there is a telephone box, post box and safe convenient parking in the farmyard. Pets are accepted by agreement.
