The stunning, award-winning Kielder Waterside, part of our exclusive ‘Magnificent’ collection, offers an unrivalled setting on the shores of the largest man-made reservoir in the UK. With panoramic views stretching across the shimmering waters, this unique location invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature in one of the most tranquil and awe-inspiring places to visit.
At night, Kielder Waterside transforms into a stargazer’s paradise, sitting at the heart of the largest Dark Sky area in Europe. Free from light pollution, the night sky here is simply mesmerising, perfect for witnessing constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way in all its glory. Whether you’re relaxing in your private hot tub or wrapped up on your lodge’s deck, the celestial display above will leave you spellbound.
This extraordinary destination offers something for everyone. Indulge in ultimate relaxation with spa treatments, unwind in the steam room and sauna, or take a peaceful lakeside stroll. For those looking to explore the water, why not try paddle boarding?
Families will love the variety of activities on offer, from mini golf to a fantastic adventure play area and junior activities for younger guests. Thrill-seekers can try their hand at target sports, or even enjoy a fun Segway experience.
For a truly memorable experience, visit the Bird of Prey Centre to witness live flying displays of over 60 majestic birds. When it’s time to refuel, The Forest Bar and Kitchen offers delicious meals in a relaxed and welcoming setting, making it the perfect spot for family dining.
Beyond the park, Northumberland is rich with breathtaking landscapes and historic sites, including Hadrian’s Wall and the stunning Northumberland National Park. Year-round events and activities ensure there’s always something new to experience, while a visit to Newcastle, which is just an hour’s drive away, offers incredible architecture, vibrant culture, and legendary nightlife.
If you’re searching for a holiday that offers spectacular scenery, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable experiences, Kielder Waterside is truly ‘Magnificent’.
