24 Lakeside Drive

Very nice cabin with hot tub , Didn’t like nail clippings on bedroom floor,dust on window sills chewing gum In litter bin , carpets need a shampoo, windows need cleaning inside and out , many cobwebs on the outside , Audrey&Trevor Thacker .

We were greeted by John who showed us round and passed on useful recommendations.

The lodge was lovely, and beds were comfortable (apart from one of the single beds where the mattress could do with being replaced). We had a lovely relaxing stay and thoroughly enjoyed it

A lovely stay at 24 Lakeside.

The lodge was warm and cosy, simply but tastefully decorated. Ideal for a short break away from the clutter and distractions of home! The setting was very idyllic next to a charming little pond. The swans and ducks had recently had cygnets and ducklings and we enjoyed watching them swimming and waddling around. The hot tub was the perfect size and temperature, and ready to hop in straight away upon our arrival. we would definitely book again!

Lovely lodge, very clean and welcoming.

Lovely to meet John who showed us around on arrival. We booked a short break and would love to go back for longer. Great having the hot tub and overlooking the pond. Lovely site and dog friendly walks - all enjoyed

Lovely lodge with every thing you need for a perfect, peaceful relaxing break.

Nice area overlooking lake which is filled with wildlife. Hot tub was excellent. Great location for exploring Northumberland.

The lodge was lovely and in nice surroundings.

There was a few maintenance issues around the lodge though that need attending to. The kitchen tap leaked very badly. The double bed matress was absolutely terrible. Very uncomfortable and needs replacing. Cooker hood did not work. Three of the corner jets in hot tub did not work. Bulbs out in kitchen and lounge. The worst thing was on the last night the people in the lodge next door decided to play rave music until 11 at night really loudly and were very noisy in the hot tub which disturbed the peacefulness we were there for. Also no heating was left on for us so upon arrival it was absolutely freezing in the lodge. If all of this was attended to it would be really lovely .

A very pleasant log cabin with lakeside views and a relaxing atmosphere.

Close to wonderful places in Northumberland.

It was nice for John to meet us.

Had a lovely relaxing time, fab position, pub on site with food (not massive menu) but ok and staff very helpful. Lodge could do with some minor tlc - filter on hot tube needs good clean, lever on hot tub broken. However had a wonderful break, loved the ducks, swans and there cygnets coming up.

Wonderfully peaceful location, we hardly saw a soul during our 4 days there other than fellow dog walkers.

Seriously relaxing...the hot tub was fantastic although not all the jets are working so we had to "rotate" for the best spot, but lovely and hot! Very clean and tidy on arrival. The resident ducks were so cute and we even had a visit from a whole swan family. Only very minor grumbles from us. One single bed needs some maintenance, it feels very rickety, and maybe a new mattress on the double as the springs are very prominent. New shelf needed in the fridge as everything falls into the veg drawer, a small leak from the heated towel rail and the decking is quite slippery and could do with a sweep. The only refuse bins we could find were on the other side of the site which meant rubbish bags in the car but not sure if we maybe missed closer ones? These are really tiny issues...would we return? Absolutely!! What a beautiful property you have. Thank you.

The lodge its self was lovely.

Nice location next to the lake, very clean, nice warm welcoming from the lodge owner. The only thing letting it down a bit was the on site pub. Service wasn’t the greatest and the atmosphere wasn’t the best. Overall lovely weekend away.

Beautiful lodge in perfect setting owners very helpful could do with a little tlc however would still visit again

The idyllic surrounds made up for a few shortcomings.

The fridge has most shelves missing and the shower became hot/cold after two uses. I don’t mind mice but I think living with it put a dampener on our four day stay. The cottage itself was in a perfect location with swan ducks geese birds and plenty to sight see.

Had the best weekend, lovely cottage located next to the lake.

Great location, we visited Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick, Alnmouth. Excellent hosts, couldn't do enough. Would defiantly go back.

No water in hot tub we filled it I did say I would however no chemicals for it and it wasn’t working someone came Saturday before lunch put chemicals in and said jets were not working correctly also filter kept coming off he told us to just keep it off and he said owner had said to empty and not fill hot tub hence why it was empty on the Friday We could not use hot tub until late Saturday afternoon which is not right as I had paid for hot tub.

Utensils were dirty chopping knife full of old food cereal bowls dirty 2 of them Microwave food at top Benches had crumbs on and beside toaster and microwave was grinded old spillages Shower head broken Iron no plug on it So it’s safe to say it wasn’t the best and I’m disappointed in the experience yes I got an apology off the owner it was sorry for the inconvenience it’s caused The lodge beautifully situated overlooking the lake We have booked again a different lodge with a different owner but gone through the owner themselves who let us look around the lodge on Sunday what a huge difference and so clean overlooking the lake I feel let down as it’s alot of money I paid to have so much wrong

Fantastic cabin.

Clean, comfortable and Homeley. The owner couldn't do enough for us. Small issue with needing a new TV for my autistic son to stop him going into a sensory meltdown. The owner had a brand new TV there and set up for us within a couple of hours. The facilities were great. The hot tub was amazing! The decking area nice and clean and plenty of space for the children to run around, and also a gate to ensure their safety. We are rebooking for the summer we are very impressed
