My husband's hobby is photography so this was an excellent place to capture the squirrels in their natural habitat. We loved the little squirrel feeder on the window, the squirrels were adorable each with their own characters when the came to feed. Dark night sky to absolutely amazing so many stars just wished we could have stayed longer. Loved the hot tub and the decking area below, but didn't need the outdoor tv/screen facility. Beautiful lodge we will most certainly be returning. Amazing so peaceful and relaxing ....thank you x

The site its self is quite run down, however the lodge and hot tub was beautiful. The lodge is equipped with everything you could need, and we were greeted with a welcome hamper which was a lovely touch. The checkin in process was seamless, property was clean and presented beautifully. Check out is 10am, which was reasonable along with check out procedure. Spent 2 days at Kielder forest which was lovely plus ate at Bellingham. Local shop however is expensive ensure you take or get a grocery delivery. The outdoor cinema was a lovely touch however we were unable to get the signal to work which was a shame but did not ruin our stay. Beautiful stay, excellent lodge and brilliant amenities thank you.
