About this property
Felton 2.9 miles. Sitting in Percy Wood Country Park near Felton, Northumberland is this white-washed pet friendly lodge with a private hot tub, Percy Wood Country Park. Set in a quiet spot overlooking woodland and farmland with plenty of outdoor seating, the lodge offers a rural retreat for a family of four, plus their canine companion! Find off-road parking on arrival on a private driveway to unload your luggage and get your holiday started. Step inside thoughtfully presented, open-plan living space with everything you need for your self-catering stay including washing machine/tumble dryer, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and slow cooker; pop the kettle on and prepare your supper in the kitchen area, complete with an electric double oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher for fuss-free clean ups! Dine at the breakfast bar for two or set the dining table ready to host a family dinner after the day's adventures.

The rear raised decking also offers more seating for alfresco dining in a secluded spot with woodland as your backdrop, as you admire Northumberland's famed dark skies for stargazing! When it's time to retire inside, the warmth of an electric fire entices you to take a seat on the cushioned sofa in front of the Smart TV; lay down a blanket for your dog to rest their paws too! Whether you've hiked through countryside or swam in the sea, a well-appointed bathroom awaits to freshen up before catching your rest. The king-size master bedroom has a TV to take it easy in the mornings, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, while the twin room is just next door. On Percy Wood Country Park, you'll find an on-site coffee bar if you need a break from the kitchen; alternatively, head to the nearby Nelson's at the Park café or the small village of Felton, home to a convenience store and The Northumberland Arms. Pack the car and head to the family-friendly Northumberland Country Zoo to meet meerkats, snow leopards, and a variety of birdlife! The National Trust's Cragside is also within easy reach, the rural mansion of the 19th-century inventor, Lord Armstrong, now displaying curious gadgets and vast gardens. For Harry Potter fans, a day in the historic Alnwick is a must; visit the market town's castle, a filming location for the iconic film series, alongside the formal Alnwick Gardens with a quirky Treehouse Restaurant.

The location and site we had no complaints. The position of the accommodation within the site was good and the view was nice. The communication with sykes was great. The property however was really let down by the cleanliness of the place when we arrived. The fridge had food remains from the previous guests and needed cleaned on arrival. All the blinds were thick with dust. We had to hoover round all the edges of the carpets as they looked like they hadn't been cleaned for months. It had spiders webs in lots of locations. Mould behind the toilet. The shower head and hose were needing cleaned as they had black mould on them. The shower head was dangling down and required a repair which I achieved to use it properly. Alot of the dishes and cutlery needed cleaned before use as they were still stained and unclean from the dishwasher. There was hair's and fluff in the cutlery tray. The bedding was inadequate as the duvet didn't overhang the edges. The sheets in the main bedroom were needing replacing as they were old and bobbled not to mention the hairs that were found inbetween the covers. Just as well we brought our own sleeping bags. Hairs and thick dust down the side and back of the bed. Thick dust on the lightswitches. Stains on the lampshades. A foosty smell throughout the property. Definitely in need of an some air fresheners. The decking area is in need of a deep clean. On the plus side it was comfortable and spacious but definitely needing a proper deep clean and some general maintenance to make it up to the standards we expected from a sykes holiday as we have been to many other sykes properties in the past.
