  Just what we needed for our short break with our two Golden Retriever’s.

  A warm and cosy west-facing property, where we enjoyed watching the sunset on the veranda. Outside, plenty of space to park the car, a lovely green area in front, which was ideal first thing in the morning and last thing at night to allow the dogs to do their business. If you wanted a slightly longer walk, the adjacent field had a path around its perimeter, which has been cut. It was well drained and relatively dry considerably it was the end of October. There was also a lovely tarmac walk down the lane towards the valley if your preferred something firmer. Indoors - top spec. Loved it! We didn’t get chance to do too much cooking, but there appeared plenty of utensils for the two of us. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of wine, which was enjoyed by hubby - the only wine-drinker in the party. There was enough space to put our dog’s baskets and their toys. Have given 4 stars for comfort, as the sofa was rather low to the ground with very soft cushions, so not as comfortable as you’d expect. Welcome additions were the two high-back chairs, which I preferred to use. Wi-if was weak and kept dropping out, so had to use my own data to keep in touch with messages I had to pick up relating to an important event I was attending during our stay. Overall, we were extremely pleased with this accommodation and will definitely visit again and will recommend to our friends and family. Plenty of attention to detail and located on a lovely village with a dog-walking field, great corner shop, butchers, hairdressers and excellent dog-friendly, welcoming pubs with an excellent menu.

  Enjoyed our stay at Lodge 32.

  The site it is on was quiet and peaceful and well cared for. If you've read other reviews about the toilet not flushing this is operator error, just jab the large flush button with your thumb and keep it there until the cistern empties. Hot tub was nice, staff arrive every morning to clean and treat it, nice folk. Ask them to tune the tub to your liking. The shop in the village “Border Reiver” was very good and staff helpful, as was the Otterburn Mill Cafe and Shop. Nearest fuel station was Bellingham (Jet) or at Thropton (Shell), so arrive fuelled up unless you are venturing out and about. The Coach House on site was not open during our stay, so arrive expecting to self cater. They have no chef at the moment (but this is not the responsibility of Lodge 32). If you are old folk like us the low furniture and beds are a tad difficult to get out of, not a criticism just a note for older guests.

  I have a number of observations re Starwood and the site.

  There are obviously some issues with the water supply on site. We were unable to utilise the showers early mornings as the tanking system used apparently has had a fault for some time with no or very little water pressure. With Starwood itself there was an issue with the main toilet. We were unable to flush. The owner was advised but he was unable to arrange a fix. As this was an issue I was forced to undertake a repair. It wasn't difficult but not what I was looking to do. In addition the outside space could do with a bit of care and attention as it wasn't really condusive for outside entertainment, and I believe the site has banned the use of BBQ,s. Finally a little more attention to the general cleaning of the cabin would not go amiss or cleaning under the beds as an example. Sorry to go on but the cabin has the potential to be excellent and we had a very good holiday. Regards Marguerite and Ken

  We had a very enjoyable holiday.

  Longframlington is central to the area we wanted to explore - half an hour from the coast, about an hour from Lindisfarne, and with National Trust and English Heritage properties not far away. We could be on Warkworth dunes every morning with our dog by 7.00an (getting up at 5.00, which we enjoyed). We walked on Simonside, at Holystone Forest, on Lindisfarne, visited Belsay Hall, Cragside and Wallington, spent a hot afternoon at Longframlington Gardens, and another at Brinkburn Priory, and enjoyed lunches at the Anglers Arms. The cottage was clean - very important in these pandemic days - and had what we needed, though we were out most of the time. The kitchen was minimally equipped and I had to use a bit of ingenuity to cook, but we managed. The sofa is very uncomfortable - even our lurcher, a sofa enthusiast, would not go on it - but we had not gone on holiday to spend time sitting down.

  Wonderfully peaceful location, we hardly saw a soul during our 4 days there other than fellow dog walkers.

  Seriously relaxing...the hot tub was fantastic although not all the jets are working so we had to "rotate" for the best spot, but lovely and hot! Very clean and tidy on arrival. The resident ducks were so cute and we even had a visit from a whole swan family. Only very minor grumbles from us. One single bed needs some maintenance, it feels very rickety, and maybe a new mattress on the double as the springs are very prominent. New shelf needed in the fridge as everything falls into the veg drawer, a small leak from the heated towel rail and the decking is quite slippery and could do with a sweep. The only refuse bins we could find were on the other side of the site which meant rubbish bags in the car but not sure if we maybe missed closer ones? These are really tiny issues...would we return? Absolutely!! What a beautiful property you have. Thank you.
