    We had a wonderful week with family in Mount Hooley Lodge. The views from the lodge are beautiful and the location very peaceful and private. The lodge is spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating. It's also very cosy. We had a BBQ and toasted marshmallows at the firepit and enjoyed the hot tub in all weather, including Storm Ashley. There's a lovely walk along the side of the railway track running from Alston and passing below the lodge. We'd highly recommend Mount Hooley.

    The lodge is amazing. There was plenty of room for 6 of us. The views are stunning and the bbq hut and hot tub are a really good feature. It was well equipped and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Lovely and warm and the water for showers was always nice and hot. There were plenty of pubs and walks nearby. The only issue we could see was the walk back up to the lodge from the road is very steep and we found it hard work, so I can imagine it would prove extremely difficult for someone with mobility issues or who wasn't quite as fit. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around. Overall it is a beautiful place to come for a relaxing break, it really is a gem of a lodge. We will definitely want to visit again.

    Fabulous lodge, wonderful views and well equipped with comfortable beds. Ground source heating was lovely with underfloor heating. Didn’t need fire in October. Went to Michelin star restaurant (Kirk style inn in Slaggyford). Great taxi service from local guy. Train ride on the steam train was fun. Visited Hexam for some shopping but mainly lots of good food and hot tub action. Dogs were welcome. It is sheep country but there was a lovely walk by the river which is well fenced for off lead. Chris and Marion were friendly hosts but unobtrusive. The local spar is quite big and their butchery is very good. BBQ hut was fun. We also used outdoor fire in the evening as the weather was on our side too. All in all a wonderful place.
