Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we've enjoyed ourselves in your wonderful house (not jealous at all!). The pictures only tell part of a story!! House is just perfect. We enjoyed morning swims and chilling around the pool. We would recommend playing water polo and having games evenings, as well as star gazing. We didn't leave the property during our stay - it was just too beautiful.

Thank you for a fantastic place to stay in a beautiful place. We will definitely be back! We enjoyed family mornings with the kids in the pool, movies inside whilst it rained and being able to all sit together in one place. We would recommend walks around Kielder Forest (Gruffalo walk for the kids!) and the Birds of Prey centre at Kielder Water.

The most gorgeous house. Perfect for our family get together, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. We enjoyed fun in the pool and family meals at the table. We would recommend visiting nature walks at Kielder Forest and dinner at the lovely Pheasant Inn.

Thank you for a great stay. A perfect house for a large family celebration. Plenty of space for socialising, stunning views and everything we needed. We'll be back. We enjoyed the pool & sauna and that we were all able to celebrate, eat, drink and enjoy everyone's company. We would recommend visiting The Pheasant Inn, The Hollybush Inn (both perfect for all the family). We also had a Tesco delivery scheduled for just after check-in.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house. We enjoyed meals together around the huge table, cooking together, playing board games together; so nice being together, all 20 of us! 3 generations. Picnics, walks, etc. We would recommend visiting Kielder Water, The Holly Bush (pub) and Roman Army Museum.

After a shabby start travelling in Storm Ewoyn to find no power, we enjoyed our stay once we had electric. A well equipped cottage for all our family, ranging from 11-months to 70-years old. Youngsters enjoyed the swimming pool. Lovely time eating at the large dining table dressed for our murder mystery night. Weather wasn't great so we enjoyed our time with family inside Crackin' View.

A perfect place for a reunion of friends. Lots of space for activities (including outdoor space which unfortunately the weather did not allow us to utilise). The sauna and pool were thoroughly enjoyed. The large dining table made all meals very sociable and there were lots of pots and pans for cooking. There was no undesirable bedroom which made choosing rooms less competitive and all beds were comfy. Lots of blankets were provided across the house for warmth. The large sofa room comfortably fit all guests and allowed us to relax together. On one evening, we went to the holly bush inn for a meal, which was delicious and we would reccommend. Due to our large group size, a booking was required. The only problem was that the bins from the previous customer had not been removed meaning there was no space for our rubbish and the wind had caused rubbish to be spread across the front driveway. If you want to play ping pong, bring balls. Overall, we had a fun new years in this lovely house.

Had three nights at Crackin View on a family get together. Ages ranging from 57 years down to 9 months. We all had an amazing time with the pool and sauna being the hi light for the older children. The kitchen dining room an the lounge were great communal areas with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. A great recommendation for a large family break

The accomodation was excellent for our family size. lots of rooms and lots of space! The kitchen was very well equipped for upto 20 people. All appliances very clean and in perfect working order in the kitchen. Good range of activities for the kids at home. The swimming pool was a pleasant feature that made it worthwhile. We really missed it on the first day as previous guests left it in an unusable condition. All in all, a value for money accomodation. Thank you
