Treetops Lodge in Newcastle upon Tyne offers a delightful stay with its beautiful surroundings and wildlife. Guests appreciate the well-equipped lodge, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches. The presence of red squirrels and birds adds to the charm. While the interior receives high praise for cleanliness and amenities, some guests noted exterior maintenance and hot tub cleanliness could be improved.

The lodge's interior is consistently described as immaculate and very clean, with only minor comments about the exterior cleanliness, such as leaf debris and bird droppings, slightly affecting the score.

The location is highly praised for its scenery and the opportunity to interact with local wildlife, such as red squirrels. It is described as a great place to unwind and enjoy walks, contributing to a high score.

Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfortable beds and a well-furnished lodge. A minor issue was noted regarding hanging space for clothes, but overall, guests found the lodge very comfortable.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the kitchen appliances and entertainment options. However, some maintenance issues like the hot tub cleanliness and a broken heated airer slightly lower the score.

Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as additional amenities and Easter decorations. While gifts are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.

    The quality of bedding & towels is good and the supply of dvd's, toys, games & books is a nice touch. There was a good supply of hot water however the cold tap in the kitchen runs warm initially. We assume the hot & cold pipes are too close together? We found the heated airer had a broken catch so it would not stand properly making it rather dangerous if there are children or dogs in the property. The only reason we have not given Treetops a 5* review is lack of attention of tidiness of the exterior. Understandably due to the many surrounding trees there will always be an element of leaf detritus. However the decking had not been swept for a long time with lots of leaf matter around the whole area. Dead leaves were in the hot tub scoops one of which is falling to pieces. There were bird droppings along the railings and on the outdoor furniture and the hot tub was splattered. The overall appearance of the exterior with cobwebs, debris etc let's down what the lodge offers internally. It would also be useful if there was a book with details of how the equipment worked. There were a number of instruction leaflets in a drawer but nothing relating to heating, the automatic rubbish bin, soap hand dispenser etc.

    Being able to feed Red Squirrels off the balcony made our holiday extra special. Would definitely recommend this lodge.

    Wildlife outside was excellent, hot tub amazing for star gazing and just a great place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
