The lodge caters for all our needs. Two item that would make it even better, a lamp and a vacuum cleaner. We're looking to book again early next year. Thank you.

The only thing I thought was missing was a lamp in the living room. Also as a 6ft man I did struggle with the small beds. I had to give my elderly mother the double bed as she would struggle in the small room, but this is totally out of the owners hands. My only other gripe was there was a noisy hen party in front of us that went past the 10pm deadline, again not the owners fault. We also highly recommend the Northumbria arms pub in Felton, amazing food. Thank you for a very enjoyable week!

Very clean and well kept accomodation. Plenty of kitchen equiptment and storage if you,re cooking at 'home". Husband found the bed a bit uncomfortable but no fault of the owner, he,d recently had a hip operation. Lovely gift and milk a nice touch for when we arrived. Made use of the garden furniture as the weather was good. Set in a very private, quiet part of the park, which was good due to our dog being timid around others. Over all a nice relaxing break in a lovely setting.
