Forest View

Last updated: 22 April 2004

Forest View offers two rooms, by arrangement with Miss A. Ridley. The house looks into the trees, as its name suggests, and it is a quiet house. Breakfast is provided when a booking has been accepted. There is no evening meal while the inn is closed; Falstone and Kielder are the practical alternatives, and a flask will serve on the trail. There is a small eating-house on the lane past the house, The Ginger Cat; we do not take bookings for it. Next door to that is Armstrong's, the photograph shop. Guests on a longer stay sometimes use the laundrette behind the hall. A wet afternoon has been known to end at the book shop on the green. The house is not a hotel and is not signed from the road.

Enquiries go through the Heritage Centre, which is the arrangement Miss Ridley prefers. See booking. If the centre is shut, leave a letter. The house is a private house first, and a room for visitors second, and that is the character of a stay there.
