This is a remote, spacious, sumptuous and tranquil jewel. The decor and facilities are first class - every utensil, glass pot and pan you could need. The owner is so friendly and helpful and the little touches.... like a bottle of nice white wine in the fridge, tea, coffee, milk, sugar and various condiments - and even 2 home made scones with jam and butter to welcome you - all really make you feel at home. The setting and scenery is gorgeous too. Short trip to Kielder and to the shops and pubs in Bellingham. The welcoming Pheasant Inn is also a short drive too.

Outstanding location, in the middle of farmland and suurounded by forest.. The luxury accommodation provided a wonderful homely retreat and was within easy driving distance to lakes, walks, culture filled towns and the historical remains of Hadrian's Wall.

When we arrived at the cottage we were immediately impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the place.. The beds and linen were some of the best we have experienced and we were really impressed! The kitchen was well enough equipped for us, plenty of crockery and glassware to meet our needs and enough pans and dishes to cook easily. The fridge was a little small given the distance from a large supermarket, but was fine for the four of us. We can recommend sausages from Rothbury if you visit Cragside, absolutely amazing! The location was just what we wanted, seclusion, perfect dark skies and picturesque. We were able to walk from the front door and the cows and sheep were lovely to watch from the kitchen window! Simon was warm and friendly without being intrusive in the slightest. We were left a welcome pack and that was really generous. Overall a delightful and friendly host! The location for us was perfect, we toured all of Northumberland and popped into Scotland :) We saw the Milky Way and then warmed ourselves by the log burner, absolutely perfect! We are hoping to book to come back next summer, the area and the cottage has really stolen our hearts!

Mr Caney

The location was superb although being a bit isolated it was peaceful and the cottage again was superb with a large bed and quite large rooms and all the facilities were present.. The only drawback was that when the weather is cold the cental heating was not that effective and we were not able to use the fire because of our mobility.

A beautiful luxurious, affordable & very well appointed holiday cottage. Stunning log burner for cosy cold winter nights. Wonderful comfy beds with beautiful bedding & towels throughout. All mod cons to hand (inc dishwasher tabs) plus Sky TV, WiFi, dishwasher & washing machine etc. The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter, scones & wine were a lovely touch & most appreciated. There is 1 step into the cottage from outside then 1 more step inside from kitchen to the living area. Otherwise the cottage is level throughout. The local village has everything to hand. The butcher is well worth a visit!

We had a lovely time at Gallow Law.. The cottage was everything & more. Beautiful comfy beds & luxurious bedding. The rooms are huge, light & airy yet it still manages to have a warm cosy feel to it. The welcome pack of bread, butter, milk, scones & wine were a lovely touch too - thank you! We weren’t able to eat out (due to food allergies) so had to cook indoors. However, we found the fridge a tad on the small side. The cottage is situated in a stunning part of Northumberland & would highly recommend. We’ll certainly be returning!

Mr Prentis

The cottage is very comfortable and in a lovely and peaceful remote location with lots of good walks around..

This was a superb cottage with definitely the wow factor.. In addition to the lovely cottage its location is at least equally impressive, It is isolated but the scenery is lovely, the walking is on your doorstep. I cannot praise it enough - just one word of warning - you are 7 miles from the nearest village so no popping out for milk or bread. We and our dog Lia loved it.

My wife and I very much enjoyed the peace and quiet and picturesque remoteness of Gallow Law Cottage, being some three miles from the main road from Kielder to Bellingham, which in itself bears no comparison whatsoever to the volumes of traffic one experiences nearer to more densely populated areas.. The owner, Simon, lives next door in Bower House and was very friendly and helpful and not at all intrusive. The welcome pack of scones, tea & coffee, milk and butter, not forgetting the bottle of wine, was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable and fully equipped as we all expect nowadays. Admittedly the weather was superb for our stay, but even if it had been not so good then we would have still enjoyed our stay and may even have used the TV and vast array of games and books available. There is plenty to see and do in the area, one week was not enough! We certainly recommend Gallow Law Cottage to those wanting a relaxing and peaceful holiday away from the "madding crowd".

This was our first holiday in a holiday cottage and Gallow Law has certainly set the bar high.. Such a lovely cottage with plenty of room for the whole family. Very cosy and has everything you could need. It was lovely to arrive to a welcome package of scones, butter, bread, milk, wine and dog biscuits. The owner, Simon also brought round some freshly laid eggs which is just what we needed for our morning fry up. It’s such a peaceful location with lovely walks from the doorstep and not far from Kielder which is worth a visit. It was very helpful to have walking routes on the bookcase and plenty of information on places to visit. Thank you for a lovely stay, we were sad to be leaving but will definitely be back!

Beautiful and comfortable cottage.. It had everything we needed, very thoughtfully well equipped. We loved the spaciousness and the locatiom being remote it meant we got no sound from the road at all. So peaceful, tranquil and serene. We were spoilt with the view too. Plenty of walking paths but we didn’t get to do many due to the weather and the ground being too saturated. Would definitely like to return in the future to explore more.

Mrs Booker

Outstanding peoperty and venue

A secluded cottage in Kielder forest with accommodation on one level, very comfortable and excellent facilities.. The quality of goods included far exceed some holiday cottages we have experienced. Overall 5 star from us and we stay at quite a few holiday cottages throughout the country.

November 2017

We booked this cottage for 2 reasons, 1) dark skies so we could see stars without light pollution, we got clear cold nights but also a full moon, so we could only see the stars that we would see back at home.. 2) to have time away due to bonfire night, as our dog got very stressed last year at home, we got our wish and very chilled and relaxed dog. About the cottage.....WOW you get a lot of cottage for your money, particularly in off season, loads of internal space, photos don't do it justice and deceptive from front, if you are taking dog(s) there are safe areas for them front and back, back is preferred as you can see through several windows. Cast log stove makes lounge nice and cosy, watching flames dance with no lights on and a lovely moon rise in the old arch window, was a joy for me....but lost on the hound. Kitchen, plenty of space and enough utensils and cookware (take a water filter if you have one) water is from a bore hole, but tea is nicer having had water filtered. Bathroom, big, nice deep bath and separate shower.....but its the only one, if you have family of four, you may struggle at times. The area, well you got a forest on your doorstep, 2 rivers (1 front, 1 back) Kielder water not far away, Hadrian's wall (I recommend locating a place called the SILL) its a new education centre, great for kids. Hexham is nearest major town, lovely buildings, and shops a good park with skate park, nearest village is Bellingham, which has food shops, tea rooms, heritage centre with a railway carriage, a waterfall walk.....its a cracking area for those muddy walks and wide open spaces, my only gripe is dog and animals, the place is full of either sheep or cattle.....so no suitable places to let dog off lead, same with cottage area, only safe space to play is your rear enclosed garden, everywhere else has to be on lead. But apart from that I cannot recommend this cottage enough, for a autumn/winter hide away it's perfect.
