Guests have praised the lodge at 24 Lakeside Drive for its cleanliness, stunning location, and welcoming atmosphere. The hot tub is a highlight, though some maintenance issues were noted. The surrounding wildlife adds to the peaceful experience, and the owner's responsiveness is well-regarded. A few minor issues with furnishings and on-site facilities were mentioned, but overall, guests are keen to return.
The property is consistently described as clean and tidy upon arrival, with only minor suggestions for improvement. The hot tub filter and decking area were mentioned for needing attention.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its lakeside views and proximity to local attractions. The peaceful setting is appreciated by guests, enhancing the overall experience.
Comfort is generally well-received, with a warm welcome and a relaxing atmosphere. However, some guests noted issues with mattresses and a rickety bed, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities like the hot tub are a hit, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as a leaky tap, non-working cooker hood, and broken hot tub jets. The on-site pub's service and atmosphere received mixed feedback.
While the owner's responsiveness and actions are highly commended, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

The delightful village of Felton is set in rural Northumberland, between Morpeth to the south and Alnwick to the north. The village has a shop with a post office, coffee shop, pub and restaurant, and is just 10 miles from Alnwick, with its Castle and now famous Garden, which features Europe's largest cascading water feature, an enormous tree house, a rose garden and an ornamental walled garden. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the "Harry Potter" films! Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.

There was a few maintenance issues around the lodge though that need attending to. The kitchen tap leaked very badly. The double bed matress was absolutely terrible. Very uncomfortable and needs replacing. Cooker hood did not work. Three of the corner jets in hot tub did not work. Bulbs out in kitchen and lounge. The worst thing was on the last night the people in the lodge next door decided to play rave music until 11 at night really loudly and were very noisy in the hot tub which disturbed the peacefulness we were there for. Also no heating was left on for us so upon arrival it was absolutely freezing in the lodge. If all of this was attended to it would be really lovely .

Seriously relaxing...the hot tub was fantastic although not all the jets are working so we had to "rotate" for the best spot, but lovely and hot! Very clean and tidy on arrival. The resident ducks were so cute and we even had a visit from a whole swan family. Only very minor grumbles from us. One single bed needs some maintenance, it feels very rickety, and maybe a new mattress on the double as the springs are very prominent. New shelf needed in the fridge as everything falls into the veg drawer, a small leak from the heated towel rail and the decking is quite slippery and could do with a sweep. The only refuse bins we could find were on the other side of the site which meant rubbish bags in the car but not sure if we maybe missed closer ones? These are really tiny issues...would we return? Absolutely!! What a beautiful property you have. Thank you.
