We stayed at The Kennelman in March 2025 for a special Mother’s Day weekend, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We were met by the host Richard who was extremely helpful and looking forward to meeting him again when we return. The cottage is stunning — beautifully decorated with a cozy, welcoming feel, and all the modern comforts you could ask for. Every little detail has been thought through, and it felt like a true home away from home.

This was our second visit to this lovely countyside cottage and it was as perfect as the first. Cosy, peaceful, beautiful scenery and an abundance of wildlife to observe (although we failed to see the otter again, we could hear he/she but no sight)!! Lovely local walks nearby, Branton Lakes, Linhope Spout etc. Homemade soup and cake at the Ingham Cafe and a delicious breakfast at The Running Fox. Fiona and Richard are so welcoming and friendly and are a fount of local knowledge should you need it. We hope to be back soon.

Spent a very enjoyable autumn break at The Kennelman in Powburn - three couples plus 2 dogs. Location is pretty good for exploring Cheviots and the coast - around 20 min drive to Alnwick, 35 mins to Bamburgh and 40 mins to Holy Island.

The ground floor bedrooms are not huge and storage space is very limited but beds are comfy and heating / ventilation all good....more
