What a brilliant place to stay – the Tree House Yurt at Wild Northumbrian, near Kielder Water

Glamping at Wild Northumbrian in the ‘Houlet’ Tree House Yurt 

 
We where fortunate to have a little stay at the ‘Houlet’ Tree House Yurt at Wild Northumbrian near Kielder Water recently – a very unique and ‘back-to-nature’ little hstaycation. Here’s a few photos of our experience.
When you arrive at Wild Northumbrian – you leave the car in the car park and make teh short walk to your accommodation with your stuff. The sign gives you an idea of this rugged natural landscape.
A little beck runs through the Wild Northumbrian estate and the rope bridge over it leads us to our residence for the weekend
What a brilliant place to stay – the Tree House Yurt at Wild Northumbrian, complete with its own look-out / star-gazing platform, fire pit/bbq and outdoor kitchen (with sink and running water) and gas powered shower under the Yurt itself (the compost toilet is a stone’s throw away from here)
You really do feel amongst the tree’s up here in the Yurt
The interior of the Yurt is very quirky and in keeping with the whole magical ethos of Wild Northumbrian. The double-bed is very comfortable, the sofa turns into 1 single-bed and there is a pull-out futton for another bed. 
The wood burning stove (lots of wood provided) heats up the place in no-time and is great for making a brew!
You feel like your in a very private place here and its a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle!
We love a fire-pit and this is a great setting for an evening around the campfire
It’s time for bed in this warm and cosy place
There’s no electricity in the Tree House – and no TV (greta eh!) – but the bird feeder on the window makes for a bit of morning entertainment!
There are plenty of Wild Birds around and you will encounter lots of wildlife here
We loved our stay at the Tree House and its somewhere we will definitely try and come back too!

I hope you've found this info useful and it helps to plan your own adventures! I share my stuff simply to help others enjoy the great outdoors and reap the many physical & mental health benefits of being in nature.

I send an e-newsletter every few months about my latest walks, adventures, photos & exclusive stuff that isn't on the blog if you are interested. Subscribe below:

Not all my stuff goes on this blog - Give me a follow to see what else I've been up to: 

More people enjoying the outdoors is great - but a small minority are leaving rubbish behind. No one gets paid to clean up natural beauty spots, (I know I'm mainly preaching to the converted) but please take all your litter home and also don’t scorch the earth with fires & BBQs which takes years to recover. You'll be an absolute outdoors legend if you pick up & dispose of any rubbish you do see from others. Finally, when sharing your pics online, please also consider encouraging responsible & sustainable enjoyment of the outdoors too. We're all influencers to some extent!

I’m always interested to know if people find my stuff useful to plan a walk, or if you have any further tips to help others (some of these write uyps are old now) – so any feedback is welcome, just leave a commnet below and I’ll get back to you…
