This was our first visit to Tarset Tor, and not our last.The bothy was warm, comfortable and had everything you need for your stay.It was like home from home with nice hot showers and a fully functioning kitchen.The view was really nice no matter what time of day, but it did look lovely when the sunset on a clear night.A peaceful location and very quiet during the night.On departure you do need to strip beds, give a sweep over the floors and a little bit of a clean around but this wasn’t a problem for us. Also make sure to recycle your rubbish at the designated areas on site.Looking forward to another visit in the near future.Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

This is an amazing place. It's obviously growing quickly and I will be keeping up with its developments. If you have a group definitely consider booking the bunkhouse. It's very practical and very good value for money.The only thing I'd change is that there was a problem with the floor in the toilets that needs addressing. Other than that the lodge is perfect. Definitely considering visiting again.Rooms: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Location: 5/5

From beginning to the end it was just perfect!Arrival we met the lovely Rob & Claire and helped us with anything we needed.The Bothy it’s self was clean, SO WARM (very much needed on a wet and windy February) it is equipped with everything you’d need from fuel for biomass burner to bottle opener! It’s slept all 5 of us very comfortably with very clean beds and bedding.The view are just amazing and need to be seen to appreciate how beautiful Northumberland really is.We will definitely be back in fact I might just book it tonight.Highly recommend this accommodation!!!Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

Such an amazing place for a stag or hen weekend. Surrounded by the most amazing country side and rivers, undulating hills and breath taking views. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and couldn't do enough to make sure our stay (all 16 of us) here was as good as it could be. We stayed in the bunk house and it was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It was clean, tidy, spacious and VERY VERY warm. There is a sauna (which we didn't manage to use but the stag party that were in the bothys managed to get their fair use of it) we also had a hillbilly outdoor bar area with fire pit and the whole experience was just outstanding. Thanks to Rob and Claire for their warm welcome and making sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back here, that is for sure.

We rented the three bothys for a large group for a long weekend it is was absolutely amazing. The bothys sit atop a hill that gives a glorious view over the landscape and is directly aligned with the sunset giving us spectacular views all day and eve.The bothys themselves are modern, clean, and well stocked with utensils, and they sit in front of a games field which was ideal for weekend activities.Claire and Rob were great hosts and helped us unlock a great weekend. Would recommend coming to stay here and am looking forward to a chance to return.Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

Excellent facilities. This is not just for backpackers it has wonderful facilities for all visitors. The views are second to none, the facilities are clean and beautifully warm, heated by echo friendly fires. Dark skies. Fishing. A tranquil yet exhilarating place to visit, as within an hours drive you can see beaches, castles (as in where Harry Potter was filmed) one of the best National Trust houses - Cragside.

Wonderful setting with excellent views, superb hosts who made us feel welcome from the offset. Everything is provided! (except food and drink).We arrived to a well equipped kitchen with cutlery, pots, plates, kettle, toaster gas cooker/hob and a microwave.There is an eco friendly wood pellet boiler providing heat and hot water and plenty of pellets provided for our weeks stay.The Bothy provides plenty of power sockets for charging up gadgets however, be aware, we didn't get any mobile signal on o2, EE or Three.Fortunately there is free wifi on-site which, while not the best is definitely very welcomed!We were provided with a metal BBQ/fire pit and wood/charcoal is available on-site should you need it.It's a little more expensive than we'd usually pay however given what you get, it's certainly not a deal breaker!I hope we'll be back soon, perhaps for a little longer next time!

Booked the whole site for my wife's 30th. The accommodation is very good with beautiful views from the bothies. The woodland bar was a little neglected but this didn't impact on our stay as the space up by the bothies was perfect for a party. Highly recommended!
