The location was perfect—close enough to shops, pubs, and other amenities, yet far enough out that we felt like we were in our own little world in the woods. It was truly idyllic. The lodge itself was immaculate. We had a small issue with the heating, but after messaging Alex, he came down and had it sorted within the hour. Excellent service! 10/10—we’ll definitely be coming back next year.

The only comment I would make about our experience is the bed in the master bedroom—it was a little uncomfortable. I was quite surprised by this, as everything else was of such high quality and kept immaculate. The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be upgrading the mattress.

it was a delightful lodge, with hot tub and we had an enjoyable stay. We felt very comfortable in the lodge and this is represented in the rating which with some small adjustments would be amazing. I would highly recommend the lodge as a place to stay and unwind, very peaceful and some great walks. The dog exercise field was also a lovely find to get the dog to burn off some energy.

with a few small tweaks this could have obtained top marks. There was some cobwebs on the lights so some dusting on these, there was a dishwasher but no tablets provided so I'd have either thought this was mentioned to bring some of non are supplied or supply some. I think it would also be a lovely touch having a welcome basket of some local produce.

The location of the lodge was lovely and quiet. Hot tub was really nice and the cover over the top helped when it started to rain.

The door leading out to the hot tub didn’t open so it meant walking around onto mud and grass to get to and from hot tub. The oven wouldn’t work but we didn’t realise this until we were about to settle for the night, informed owner who directed us through how to get it working but still wouldn’t work. So food we’d bought to bring up went in the bin as there was no other way to cook it. Found takeaway leaflets in kitchen so ordered from there.

We loved the size of the accommodation and where it was situated on the end of a row. We loved the hot tub which was ready, and easy to use. We liked that things like loo roll, washing up equipment and towels were provided. There is also a smart TV so we were able to watch films on Netflix. There is also a Tassimo coffee machine provided however we didn't use that. We visited Northumberland Zoo which is only a short drive from the lodge. We did have an issue with the gas oven. The hob and grill worked fine but the oven did not. We reported the issue to the owner but we didn't get any response until the next day. Luckily we had brought two days worth of food with us so after a delay and a re-think we had our evening meal. We resolved the issue with the oven on day two by purchasing a gas lighter. A suggestion might be to ensure there is always a lighter available and to add instructions to use this to light the oven to the communication message you get before arrival. Generally there were a few maintenance issues that could be looked at. Nothing that impacted us (other than the oven) we were only there for 2 nights. Little things like missing door handles, a couple of bulbs that needed replacing and a curtain pole that needed attaching to the wall again. One other recommendation would be to reprint the accommodation instructions in a traditional font such as Arial to make them easier to read. All 4 of us mis-read the password for the WiFi on day one. A different font might help with this. Overall it was a good place to stay, nice and clean, well equipped and overall the communication was good. I'd stay there again.

Decor beautiful , hot tub fantastic ,everything you could possibly need in the lodge , very nice equipment ,beds very comfortable , loved the jacuzzi bath , very peaceful site , Went to a lovely pub just down the road and had a gorgeous meal

The only little niggle was the decking wasn't very clean ,could have been swept and windows were dirty , also around the hot tub could have been cleaner , there was no brush or hoover in lodge for us to sweep or clean so we bought a brush and gave inside a sweep before we left . But like i said it didn't spoil our stay loved it overall

Property was nice clean? Hot tub was lovely! We wanted peace and quiet and that’s what we got. We took our air fryer and pleased we did, as bar was closed on the Tuesday and Wednesday which was a shame as couldn’t get food. But cooker in lodge works fine we used this also ;)

We liked everything about the property, take a hair dryer states there is one but I couldn’t find one, also the bar is a little walk may be a problem if elderly or poor mobility but this wasn’t the owners fault or nothing to do with the lodge.

It was spacious enough for a family, whilst still having a cosy feel to it. The hot tub was amazing and lovely on a night with a sky full of stars. Lots of things to do nearby, and in the ‘welcome folder’ there was lots of leaflets if guests needed ideas for anywhere to go. Owner was very helpful, answered any questions quickly, and also checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again. It was a lovely winter get away to relax and enjoy the peace after a hectic Christmas and new year.

Location nice and lodge nice. Hot tub was a nice bonus but expected it to be covered.

Appeared to be a lack of facilities on the site. There was a clubhouse type of place which was more or less off site so a bit of a trek and only open at the end of the week due to time of year. Would have been more enjoyable if there was a steak house type restaurant near the reception area. But otherwise it was a nice site.

Location, dining area, table in terrace and near the hot tub.

Hot tub bubbles didn't work properly, toilet in big bathroom didn't have proper water flow, tried to lowered down the temperature in the lodge but was keeping up therefore was extremely hot in both bathrooms. Not many utensils in the kitchen. At the entry was sign "take of your shoes" so we walked without shoes and our foot were so black which means the properly floors weren't mopped up for a long time. Bedding sheets had some stains on which not very pleasant to see, shower head was very dirty. Lights outside next to hot tub didn't work properly too, there was gas barbecue in the back of the lodge but no instructions how to use it.

Lovely lodge ,very cosy and the addition of the hot tub a bonus.

Lots of little things that could be mentioned before arrival, no clear directions to find the lodge, the heating system difficult to use, the oven has its quirks and difficult to turn on as no ignition spark, no bulb in the fire to turn it on and no glass allowed in the hot tub but no plastic glasses provided (we would have packed our own if we knew). All things that have been mentioned previously in the guest book by others that have stayed and not acted on. Just a few little things that could easily be sorted and aid for the perfect stay
