  The property is beautiful, feels very luxurious and comfortable.

  Beds are comfy and it's spacious. Hot tub was easy to work and thoroughly enjoyable with the stream running right past. Sadly there were a few negatives: - the place was filthy. It looked as though it hadn't been cleaned at all. Plates and bowls were displayed nicely on the dining table but I had to wash them all before use due to finger prints and dust. The bedroom was disgusting. Dust EVERYWHERE, even on bedside table and easy to reach areas. Around and behind the bed was horrific with some sweets on the floor and I found a massive man sized, bronze pyramid ring (hard to miss!). - All the window guards were broken away (usually these are in place to open and close as the person sees fit, but were completely removed). This made the place extremely cold but also bug infested. I'd hate to stay during summer and winter months when creepy crawlies are out and about. There were spiders and webs at every window except the door opening to the hot tub. These could really do with being repaired as not only would I not stay again due to bugs, but the cold air was constant. The sealant around the windows were also in desperate need of repair! Other than those 2 negatives, the place is very beautiful and I'd love to stay again if the window situation was repaired and the cleaning standards were raised. The place is easy to find and very peaceful. So I really loved my stay. Not much nearby, so take your own food etc.

  I’m going to start with the positives.

  Hot tub was amazing. Really bubbly and perfect temperature. However we have stayed in lots of holiday lodges and we’re used to having the hot tub checked and wiped over daily. This happened twice during our stay. Outside area is also lovely and comfortable with beautiful views over the field. There was however a cushion pad missing from the outside sofa which would have left someone with no seat if there had been 4 of us staying. I let the property manager know this by text. The pressure and temp in the showers was the best I’ve ever had in a holiday lodge. However, there was no sieve, colander, corkscrew or cafetière in the kitchen. I couldn’t even make a pot of pasta as I couldn’t drain it. Even if there was a sieve or colander, there wasn’t a pot big enough to cook pasta. Given that this is a lodge for 4 people that’s not good news. Only 2 rings worked on the hob also. The couch in the living room was very uncomfortable and as a result I spent most of my time on the outside couch. That’s fine as we had good weather but if it rained I would have spent a lot of time on a very uncomfortable couch. The pillows in both bedrooms were wafer thin and the fact that the pillow slips were enormous made them feel and look even more flimsy. Considering that we spent over £1000 for seven days none of this is good enough and I hope the owner reads this and makes the necessary changes.

  We had a pleasant stay at 43 Burnside Lodge.

  It was very well equipped,and comfortable,and the location of the park itself was ideal for all area's we were interested in for our week long walking holiday. I dislike having to give any negative feedback but feel I have to mention our disappointment on the cleanliness of the lodge. Although the towels/ bedding, worktops, and bathrooms were clean(apart from the grouting on tiles in the en-suite), the lodge had a fusty smell on our arrival, and looking at the cushions on the sofas,they could do with washing. The skirting boards were really dirty throuout the lodge and there were children's handprints on most of the windows(we didn't have children there). We also had to wash most the cutlery before using them. To me,these things should be checked and cleaned where necessary. The hot tub was a great addition,and we used it most evenings,and we really appreciated the prosecco and chocolates left by the owner. But,unfortunately,we probably wouldn't book again.

  Really enjoyed our stay, able to drop our cases and relax in the hot tub as soon as we arrived, its home from home.

  excellent location for touring Northumberland, site was clean and well maintained. Minor points, vacuum cleaner had to be emptied and filters cleaned before use and shower head in the main bathroom didn't work very well. however, these are very minor refinements and overall the property is fabulous and we will return without hesitation. Our dog settled in straight away too which was a bonus, he loved the enclosed veranda and was exhausted after all that running on the beautiful beaches. Thank you for the chocolates and wine, these were very welcome. We were impressed and comforted by how many dog friendly facilities there are, which meant we could eat out at ease and there was always a doggie treat awaiting. the Northumberland Arms was fab and even have a doggie menu. would highly recommend Burnside Lodge, I'm sure you will enjoy your stay as did we.

  We had a lovely stay at Aln cabin.

  It was good to have the grass area outside to toilet our dog first thing in the morning and at night. Managed one drink sitting in the bench outside as the weather was warm that late September evening. Yes the sofa was a little low but being of petite size did not really notice. The only things we could have done with inside were a few hooks on the bathroom door to hang a dressing gown, some sauce pan lids and a spare toilet roll. The owners lived onsite but kept away unless there was an issue. This we found rude. Other properties where the owner lives near they always said hello. The cabin is in a good location for exploring and there is lots to do with a dog. Longframlington has a lovely butchers and The Running Fox is idea for breakfast, if booked. Would certainly consider staying here again in the future.
