About this property

Felton 2.9 miles. Nestled in the serene Percy Woods Holiday Park in Swarland near Felton, Northumberland, is this charming, detached lodge of 4 The Oaks. Accommodating a family of six, 4 The Oaks features ground-floor accommodation throughout, along with access to a wealth of on-site facilities. Upon arrival, pull up into one of the two off-road spaces, before taking in your tranquil environment. Make your way up the steps to find a timber-clad, open-plan living space featuring all you need to unwind, as well as appliances fit for a self-catering stay. Grab a seat on one of the plush seating options in front of the Smart TV and enjoy your favourite movie together or your favourite series on Netflix; switch on the electric fire to add to the warm ambiance. When you're ready to prepare a mouthwatering meal, make your way over to the kitchen, where wooden cabinetry features a great range of appliances, including a large fridge/freezer. These meals can be enjoyed at the dining table or out on your private decking; wherever you choose to eat and enjoy your complimentary bottle of fizz along and make a toast to this charming getaway! When sleep calls, move through the property to find three inviting bedrooms, two of which are twins that share access to a well-appointed bathroom, and the other comprising a king-size with ample storage and an en-suite shower room. Take a leisurely stroll through the tranquil grounds of Percy Wood Golf & Country Park to get a better sense of your surroundings; let the kids make the most of the adventure playground, go wildlife-watching in the woodland, or try your hand at putting at the on-site golf course! Take a break from cooking by stopping at Nelson’s at the Park for a great home-cooked dinner served with a well-deserved pint or travel a little further afield to Felton to find more of your amenities resting in one location, such as The Northumberland Arms pub, where you can enjoy a hearty meal and a convenience store, where you can pick up self-catering essentials. Northumberland Country Zoo is close by, with a variety of creatures eager to meet you. Nearby, discover the stunning terrain of Northumberland National Park, which is home to the longest section of Hadrian's Wall and offers a variety of walking, biking, and hiking trails across sandstone hills, beautiful moorland, and enchanting forests.

    Lodge was lovely & very clean with everything you need & lots of little extras provided. Owners left a nice touch with a welcome pack & a file with useful information in. (Our Grandson loved the biscuits!) Ideal location for visiting Alnwick castle. The Grandchildren enjoyed the playpark & tennis. Would definitely stay here again & have already recommended it to friends & family. Thank you
