Roomy. Some negatives: We asked for the bi-fold doors to be fixed. They said a maintenance man would come but he never did which meant we couldnât use them which really wasn't very good at all as weâd have like that and it would have added to our holiday. The lights in bedrooms were basically useless - need proper bulbs. Would be better if the fences on patio was fully enclosed for kids and dogs. It was very very hot. Thankfully Iâd bought a fan but think one or two should be provided. The hot water in tap was way too hot and needs considering for children. Otherwise a very nice stay. Lovely deco. Rooms decent size. Facilities to wash and cook were good although took us a while to work out the hob so better instructions would be good. Having a utility room was great. Views from place amazing and being in the corner meant we feel we had privacy and also good grass space for the door. Room for at least 3 cars. Very nice. Would defo stay again as all the things mentioned should be easy to fix.

Beds and pillows are very comfortable and the showers are great. The lodge has lovely countryside views from which you can see Bamburgh Castle . We walked into Bamburgh on the country footpath which took about 40mins or could drive there in less than 5 mins. Had a great holiday.

! The bi-folding doors looking onto cow fields and the quiet corner plot location were just absolutely brilliant. We had the best week here. It is worth noting that it gets very hot in summer if you donât leave any windows open and dogs are not allowed to be left on their own, but we will 100% be back!!!
