The location is frequently described as perfect, with its quiet setting, proximity to beaches, and local attractions like Cragside National Trust, contributing to a high score. However, one mention of insufficient parking prevents a perfect score.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with mentions of comfortable beds and a relaxing environment. However, there is a single negative comment about the lounge seating being hard and uncomfortable, which slightly lowers the score.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like welcome packs with Prosecco, chocolate, and crisps. While these gestures are highly valued, it is noted that such amenities may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Felton 2.8 miles. Olives Place is a family-friendly lodge sitting in Bockenfield Country Holiday Park near Felton, Northumberland. With a contemporary interior, on-site facilities and a private hot tub, the lodge invites a family of four to spend quality time together, with fantastic attractions within easy reach. Unload your luggage from the off-road parking space and get settled into the stylish, open-plan living space. Set the dining table for four, whilst your other half prepares heart-warming meals in the kitchen area; you'll find everything you need for a self-catering stay! Or why not cook on the barbecue on the private graveled area. Pull open the patio doors to let the outside in on summer evenings and tuck into a delicious dinner at sunset; during the day, there are open-aspect country views for watching wildlife during the day and stargazing at night. Follow with a relaxing seat in the bubbling hot tub, which you'll surely love after rambling along the coast or through the countryside. A homely lodge all year-round, inside you'll find a sumptuous corner sofa, Smart TV with DVD player, and an electric fire for snuggling up on colder nights for a movie. Both bedrooms have been just as beautifully appointed as the living areas with industrial-style lighting, quaint décor, and a wall-mounted TV enticing you to relax in the mornings; choose between a king-size with en-suite cloakroom or a twin. Start your day with a hot rinse in the shower room followed by a fluffy towel fresh off the heated rail. This pet-friendly lodge sits on Bockenfield Country Holiday Park with an on-site bar for socialising, as well as a children's play area, and plenty of attractions nearby to suit the whole family, including Burgham Park Golf & Leisure Club and Northumberland Country Zoo! Jump in the car and journey south to Morpeth for picnics in Carlisle Park, the historic Clock Tower, and eateries ranging from stylish to family-friendly. Alnwick is a short drive away and a must for family days out; explore Alnwick Castle, the setting of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, relax in The Alnwick Garden and dine at the quirky Treehouse restaurant, or catch a performance at The Alnwick Playhouse. For Northumberland's stunning coastline, Alnmouth hosts a long, sandy beach, historic sites such as Ferryman's Hut, and Alnmouth Golf Club for sea views. If you want more of the great outdoors, venture into Northumberland National Park for rolling hills, woodland and historic ruins, such as Hadrian's Wall! An unforgettable holiday awaits with your loved ones at Olives Place.
