Sykes need to update the pictures
The lodge had been refurbished and the current pictures do not do it justice
Lovely comfy sofas and bed
No internet connection or dvd player
This would have been a welcome asset
Lovely welcome pack of wine and biscuits
Also tea, coffee and toilet rolls while you don't always get
Definitely would stay again

"Sadly the start of our holiday was spoilt by a very nasty phone call with Mark , the owner."
This was in response to 2 queries about the lodge and ended with Mark very nastily saying “ if you’re not happy, find somewhere else and I’ll give you a refund, and putting the phone down on me!!!!” Unnecessary and upsetting. The cleaning was not great. Apart from that, the lodge is comfortable with lovely beds and nice linen and towels.

"The property was lovely and comfortable although Some areas needed a good clean , under the beds , (there was a false nail on my bedroom floor at the edge of the bed) , top of sockets etc , the bedding and towels were very clean and fresh ."
Sykes haven't updated the photos on the website and the lodge looks completely different as it has been refurnished its actually a lot nicer than it looks on the website .

"Clean. Very well-equipped."
Owners very accommodating. Peaceful area. Comfortable living room. Nice and cozy when the temperature outside was a little chilly. Heating easy to work, and worked well, when we needed it. Hot water on demand, no pressure problems when someone else was using water in another room elsewhere. Two toilets and two showers were much appreciated. There were four adults in our party: A married couple who shared a double bed; one woman who slept in the other double bed, and me, and I slept on the bottom bedbunk. I think the log cabin should have been designed differently, and only included two bedrooms, because space was a little bit tight in the sleeping areas, at least for me. But it wasn't too bad, and we only used the bedrooms to sleep in anyway. In my room, a Henry vacuum cleaner (a bit bulky) was left on the floor in front of the clothes storage, which was a bit odd. The bunk bed mattress didn't feel like a proper mattress, or at least it was a bit insubstantial, and with just a sheet covering it I could feel the bumps of the patterning of it. It was difficult to open any window in that room, as it was too cramped with furniture. The clothes storage was in the way of anybody wanting to climb up on to the top bunk. So perhaps that room is only suitable for small children who can be lifted up and down by an adult, although I would expect that could cause health and safety issues what with a child wanting to move of his/her own accord and not perhaps being able to, needing to use the toilet during the night for example. I enjoyed a few walks, and we twice ate at the Granby Inn, within walking distance, as the meals were good quality at a reasonable price. Thank you for a very decent stay.

"Property was clean, comfortable, nice decor and in a quiet spot on the edge of the village."
Within easy walking distance to local shops and pubs. Good location for visiting Alnwick, Bamburgh. Berwick and Seahouses/Farne Islands. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

"We had a wonderful break in this cosy cottage."
Nicely laid out, two bathrooms were a real plus as we were sharing with other family members. A welcome pack was a nice touch too. Situated on a small and quiet estate, it is within easy walking distance of a charming village with two pubs, both of which offer quality menus. All the usual attractions, Warkworth, Bamborough, Alnwick and Cragside are all a short drive away. Highly recommended. We hope to return next year.

"We’ve just had a fab long weekend!"
The lack of WiFi meant we could reconnect and do things IRL.
The lodge is spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming, perfect for a quiet base to get out exploring the local area. The host Mandy was brilliant. The welcome pack was nice and we had everything and more required for a wonderful stay. We’re already planning and booking our next trip

"There was a lot of rain and after two days the road round the site turned into a swamp."
Not that there was a proper road. The lodge was ok. The interior looked nothing like the pictures on Sykes website. A lot of dust round the windows and air vents in the bathrooms. The welcome biscuits, milk and wine were a nice touch. Sadly the site feels very run down and unloved

It was clean and warm, we have stayed on the site many times but was really impressed with the size and comfort in Matfen. We will definitely recommend the site and the lodge and will hopefully be back soon.

"Lovely lodge, very quiet location 15 min walk to village."
Was not that clean, I wiped some water off the floor and it was filthy, not been dusted either, told main bathroom shower didnt have any hot water and plumber coming to fix then told he cannot het a part for it and finally told having a new bathroom fitted before xmas, dont think ever intended to fix it, would have preferred the truth! Grounds need tidying up and craters filling in on the road around cabins.
Hi Diane, as you were told, we had just taken over the lodge and had to honour the guests that were already booked in. The plumber couldn’t get the part for the shower and so we decided on putting a new bathroom in, as it all needs updating.
