Swallow Lodge

What a fantastic place!

The lodge has all the facilities you need and was spotlessly clean. It was a privilege to share the garden, which is amazing. I say share, you have your own space, a terrace, in front of the accommodation with comfy seating. Paul and Jacqui were really friendly and helpful, we had our dog with us, which can be a little noisy, this wasn't an issue at all. Very located as well for the wonderful beaches.

Well equipped and spotlessly clean.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. Ideal location for exploring nearby Amble and surrounding area.

Lovely owners nothing too much trouble for anyone staying.

easy access to park and beach

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in Swallow Lodge.

The property was spotlessly clean, well appointed and in a great location for exploring the area. The garden was stunning and a joy to sit in. Paul and Jacqui gave us a warm welcome making sure we had everything we needed and paid great attention to detail for all those little things which add to your holiday. They respected your privacy but were on hand if needed. Definitely recommend a stay here.

We had a wonderful stay at swallow Lodge, the lovely hosts Jacqui and Paul were very welcoming and informative about the area.

The Lodge is perfect for a relaxing stay and is well appointed with everything you need (including a nice bottle of red and some delicious chocolates!) The garden is beautiful and our dog was able to wander round safely. We would love to go back sometime and explore more of beautiful Northumberland.

A real couples retreat,the owners were very helpful and charming lovely people,fully reccomended

The most comfortable bed we've had so far and a lovely garden to admire.

Very clean, comfortable, well equipped accommodation suitable for a couple.

Just over a mile from Druridge Bay beach and a couple of miles south of the interesting fishing village of Amble.The house is set in a beautiful, large water garden with a places suitable for outside dining. The hosts, Paul and Jaquie, were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. One the very best self-catering places we have stayed in...a real home from home!

Warm welcome from hosts.

Very peaceful and comfortable with every facility provided and in immaculate condition..

Jacqui and Paul were the perfect hosts - thank you so much!

You could come here for your holiday and there would be no need to go out - except for food! - as the beautiful garden which is accessible right from the patio doors is all you need to chill and relax - whatever the weather throws at you. But it is a good base for visiting the lovely places associated with this amazing part of the country. Thank you.

This bijou lodge is very cosy and tastefully decorated and the owners warm and friendly.

They were also very tolerant of my barky dog which has an aversion to large black dogs! I liked that a few seconds from the front door was a tarmacced public footpath where dogs could be excercised safely with beach and country park both within a few minutes drive. The living room looks out on to their gorgeous garden which we would have enjoyed more if the weather had been more clement. Recommended!

Absolutely stunning from the moment we arrived we were made to feel extremely welcome.

The property is just beautiful, hand built by the owners Paul and Jacqui and the carpentry and attention to detail is stunning. Has to be seen to be believed. Waking up every morning to the beautiful gardens was an absolute delight. We had a delightful holiday getting to know Northumberland and the property in Hadston Amble was a great location. We couldn't have wished for more.

Owners very welcoming and friendly Lounge over looking a very well designed and beautiful garden Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet vacation with easy access to Northumberland's coastline

Fantastic place to stay, Paul & Jacqui provided us with great local knowledge on places to visit, Garden was absolutely beautiful need to return in Summer to see it in full bloom.

Everything we could need for a relaxing break was provided here, great kitchen and everything provided to cook at night, cosy to sit and watch birds in the garden or TV. So quiet resulting in a great night's sleep. We loved our stay .

The property owners were very warm and welcoming when I arrived and, although I didn't need anything during my stay, it was good to know that they were very willing to offer any help they could.

The property was warm and comfortable and had everything needed for a very pleasant stay. Swallow Lodge is at the edge of a large housing estate but was very quiet and there was a lovely view of the owner's beautiful garden (which they were very happy to share) from the living area and of the garden and the open field and trees beyond from the bedroom. The property was an easy drive to Amble and also to the very attractive and interesting local country park which, in turn, gave access to a fantastic sandy beach.

What a beautiful place garden beautiful loads of walks and paul and jacqui are wonderful kind people jet and our dog Enzo got on so well thanks again for making our Holiday.

We have had a super week in a cosy , warm cottage that was spotlessly clean .

There is so much to see and do in the area and we enjoyed meeting the owners and seeing the lovely garden .

We had a lovely stay at swallow lodge, it was a beautiful place all built and designed by Paul and Jacqui.

The gardens with the ponds and fish were tranquil and relaxing, there were lots of sitting areas . The annex were we stayed at the side of there’s was well thought out when designed, it was lovely and had everything in it for our stay, if we had forgotten anything it would of been sorted for us. Our dog Tom loved it especially the fields round the back, and he made a friend with jet there dog. Paul and Jacque were perfect hosts, and I would recommend any couple to go there for a peaceful retreat. It was central for visiting other places and the beautiful beaches and castles. Thank you both so much we’ve had a great time. Helen Tommy & Little Tom xxx

The property was on an estate near a prison and was essentially a converted double garage.

Previous reviews have covered the height of ceiling issues but if the property had been pristine and nice in every other way that would have been tolerable. There were not curtains on the door into the garden for privacy and the heating was outwith our control. I do not want to have to seek out the owner when I feel cold. A laundry without a dryer is useless and there was nowhere outside to dry washing. The kitchen was greasy, there was no dishwasher and the cupboards appear to be falling apart inside. We disliked it so much we left on Thursday morning. It would make me very wary of using you again - and we have used you many times before. Not worth the money - a caravan would have been about the same- and so disappointing. It was difficult to raise issues given we had to go through the owners’ hall to access the property. Your listing was by the letter accurate but we feel should have defined the extremely small size and perhaps an inspection is required to check on the state of the kitchen and bedroom and bathroom.

Both Jackie and Paul were such lovely and wonderful hosts.

The property was lovely with a stunning garden and was exactly as it was on the listing. Location was perfect for visiting alot of popular destinations and we would 100% stay here again without a doubt.

A lovely cosy property with very friendly hosts.

The gardens were beautiful.

Jacqui and Paul were excellent hosts and made us very welcome.

Accommodation and facilities were excellent if a trifle tight in places for my 6'4" frame due to sloping ceilings in bathroom and toilet. The property had everything anyone could need and the welcoming bottle of wine waiting on the table was a nice touch.Wonderful garden and open outlook made it a pleasure to sit outside and relax. Thank you J & P.

This is a delightful property, with the most wonderful garden that the owners were happy to share, sadly the weather didn’t allow as much as we hoped.

A super welcome from the owners and family dog who made us feel welcome and couldn’t have done more to make our stay comfortable. Swallow Lodge is well located for the Northumberland sights. It had been thoughtful fitted out with everything you would need. Our only negative would be the sloping roof in the bedroom and bathroom which caught us out until we got used to it.

It required some agility to make use of the bath but otherwise the property was extremely well equipped, with every possible need provided for.

Outside, as well as good parking space, there is a fascinating rear garden offering attractive lounging accommodation. Added to this the hosts were very welcoming and helpful at all times.

super holiday property ideally situated easy access to beach areas and villages along this coast excellent restaurants in this area short drive away

Swallow lodge is a beautiful quaint property which has all the comforts of home with every facility needed.

The gardens are stunning with oriental feel ponds looking out to woodland. The bathroom facilities are well equipped with a hot shower and bath option. The kitchen has all pots and pans required with high quality cooker, microwave , toaster. There is a utility area with washing machine, ironing board and clothes hanger etc. The bed was super comfy and spotlessly clean. The owners Paul and Jacqui were the perfect hosts, welcoming and really approachable. Your comfort is their prime goal They even ensure you have toiletries available in the bathroom and dressing table in case you forget something- I thought this was really thoughtful Ample storage in the bedroom too. Our dog made friends with Jet a very gentle greyhound. We will definitely be back , super relaxing holiday in a great location , the nearest beach is only a mile away , which stretches , 7 miles, Fabulous !!!

Jacqui and Paul (and Jet, the dog) could not have been friendlier or more welcoming.

Sharing the garden with them was not a bit problematic - before I got there I thought it might be. Abundant walks for me and my dog; both locally and farther afield. A charming area and well worth a visit.

Beautiful gardens.

Property lovely. Great location. Property owners very helpful and friendly. We had a brilliant stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Swallow Lodge during the second week in October 2023 The lodge had everything you could possibly need and more besides.

It was very clean, well equipped and the gardens were absolutely beautiful There was plenty to do in the surrounding area for old folk like us or for families The hosts were warm, friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back

This cottage is exactly as described in both text and photographs.

The facilities are excellent and the owners are so welcoming. We have had a thoroughly relaxing week at Swallow Lodge and wouldn't hesitate to book it again if we need accommodation in Northumberland. The lodge is well situated for access to the coast road. A far as we are concerned, the lodge is outstanding. James & Jennifer Pritchard

Very friendly, kind and helpful hosts.

The cottage had everything we needed, well equipped, comfortable with a beautiful garden.

We had a lovely stay at Swallow Lodge.

The lodge was well equipped and everything was there that we needed. We appreciated the welcome tray of wine and chocolates and the roses were a nice touch. Paul and Jacqui made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed spending time with them. They have some amazing life stories to tell. The garden is lovely and it was nice to be able to relax in it and enjoy the beautiful flowers and water features. Marc and Hazel

We enjoyed our stay at Swallow Lodge very much .

It is in a quiet area with a beautiful garden . Some good walks close by and only a short distance to beautiful beaches and places to visit . The Lodge itself was extremely well equipped with everything we needed. Jacqui and Paul the owners were so kind and helpful and could supply us with any info we needed about the district

Swallow Lodge is well equipped, very clean and comfortable and situated in a peaceful setting with the use of a beautiful garden.

Our hosts, Jacqui and Paul, were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. We felt very relaxed in this perfect place to explore north and south of the fabulous Northumberland Coast.
