Cairnswood is a bright airy and comfortable lodge for couples or friends to have some downtime, relax in the bubbling hot tub on the raised deck which wraps around the lodge, and sit and watch the world go by. With some trees and greenery at the front, the lodge is ideally located, offering some privacy, yet only a short walk to the on-site restaurant and café. This 40-acre country park is home to a pretty lake with resident swans and wildlife where you can take an evening stroll then perhaps something to eat on-site or take a few minutes’ drive to one of the many restaurants and pubs nearby.
Located close to the A1 yet you feel like you are in a country retreat, best of both worlds for exploring the local area. Children with you would love the Northumberland Zoo which is only half a mile or within walking distance for those who enjoy walking. Burgham Park Golf course is only half a mile, ideal for the golfers in the family. Nearby Alnwick is home to the Duke and Duchess where you can visit the majestic castle used in some Harry Potter scenes, or visit the Duchess enchanting water gardens then meander the streets soaking up the history.
Nearby Morpeth is a very pretty little market town with some wonderful bars and restaurants and an Edwardian shopping arcade to explore, as well as river boats down on the river Wansbeck. Nearby Felton has an award-winning café and a friendly pub serving lovely food and drinks. Being close to the A1 means you can travel in all directions going somewhere different every day, perhaps a day over at Hadrian’s Wall taking in the Roman Forts and glorious countryside would appeal to you, or perhaps a day trip to the Dark Sky International National park would suit, or maybe even some retail therapy in Newcastle where you can enjoy the Quayside and culture of the streets and buildings.
Visitors to Cairnswood will be spoilt for choice for places to visit, and how wonderful to return to relax in the hot tub and share the memories of your days out.

We have stayed here before and returned due to the location, cleanliness and the lovely lodge, unfortunately there was no cutlery this time only 2 large spoons and 1 fork, had to go to the club house to borrow some and returned them on departure, apart from this is was a pleasant stay and would defiantly return again 😊

Lovely week spent at Cairnswood Lodge. Outside decking and facia boards above door needs some attention but did not affect our break. Amazing hot tub would highly recommend.

We had issues with, the fridge was set so high it froze all our salad items making them inedible,it was difficult to hang our clothes due to owners clutter in walk in wardrobe and bed in second bedroom made it impossible to open the wardrobe door, several pots on the decking and either dead plants or weeds in. It was such a shame because otherwise it could have been a perfect place to stay. Good points comfy bed ,good shower and plenty of hot water .
