The location is quiet and beautiful with a distant view of Bamburgh Castle and surrounded by cows and sheep. I enjoyed waking early to see the hares too. Betony is warm and comfortable with a good bed and mattress in the main bedroom (we only used that bedroom so can't comment on the others). Both showers were effective too. We found the location very convenient for travelling around Northumberland. Betony really is a home from home.

Stunning lodge and location, built, designed and furnished to the highest quality. Plenty good restaurants around (eg The Apple Inn at Lucker, 2-3 miles away, and an excellent full breakfast at the Purdy Lodge). Couple of slight suggestions: the excellent Welcome Info Pack might be placed 'on display' on arrival, rather than being put in a drawer, and some of the cooking pans were past their best. But these tiny points in no way detracted from a hugely enjoyable stay. We will certainly be back.
