Guests say
Alwinton Lodge is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like welcome packs.

Some minor suggestions for improvement are made, but overall, guests look forward to returning.
Guests consistently mention the lodge's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. There is a single mention of cobwebs, but this does not detract significantly from the overall high standards observed.
The lodge's location is praised for its quietness, picturesque setting, and convenience for touring local attractions. However, some guests note it appears remote at first and suggest the entrance to the site could be improved.
Reviewers find the lodge comfortable, mentioning cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. There are a few comments about additional seating and the chill during bad weather, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.
The lodge is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests appreciate the dog-friendly facilities. Some guests suggest adding shelves in the shower and a shaver point, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

About this property
Settled on the grounds of Fram Park, amongst the rural greenery of Northumberland, rests this picture-perfect wooden dwelling, Alwinton Lodge. Set across one level and beautifully renovated throughout, Alwinton Lodge offers a truly enchanting setting for a romantic retreat for two. An off-road parking space greets you at the foot of this charming abode, meaning you can unpack your belongings and settle in with ease. Leave your muddy walking boots at the door as you step inside your new home-from-home, where you can look forward to unwinding with a steaming cup of tea in front of the television as your better half rustles up a romantic meal for two in the adjoining kitchen area. Pour yourself a drink and step outside to the front patio, where you can indulge in an alfresco affair as you take in your peaceful, countryside surroundings. After a long day exploring the coast and country, relax with a refreshing rinse in the shower before snuggling up under the covers of the double bed to catch your rest. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Longframlington, where you'll find two pubs, ideal for those evenings when you don't fancy cooking, along with a butchers and a corner shop to stock up on goodies to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home. Let your four-legged friends play at the designated Longframlington Dog Area or enjoy a leisurely stroll through the vibrant trees and shrubbery at Longframlington Gardens. There's a wealth of must-see sights and attractions nearby, including the National Trust's Cragside, a remarkable Victorian country house adorned with landscaped gardens, as well as the Northumberland Country Zoo. Seaside adventures await along the Northumberland Coast AONB, whilst the open moorland of Northumberland National Park offers the best of both worlds. Explore the delights of this sought-after region with a stay at Alwinton Lodge.
Longframlington is a charming village situated in rural Northumberland, between the Cheviots and the coast, and with easy access to a network of superb walking options. There's plenty to see and do nearby, including Brinkburn Priory, a rebuilt Augustinian priory, along with The National Trust's Cragside House and Gardens. The Heritage Coast offers miles of beautiful sandy beaches, and Alnwick, with its spectacular Castle and Garden, is only 11 miles to the north.

Great location for visiting Northumberland countryside & coastline. We had glorious weather, it was lovely to come back to such a comfy holiday home. The cabin had everything we could need, the village of Longframlington had a great shop for any extras and a great cafe for some holiday treats. We would highly recommend Alwinton Lodge and would definitely return. The extra welcome goodies were a lovely & much appreciated touch. Thank you
