  • "Lovely relaxing stay with a nice bottle of wine and large bag of crisps to welcome us."

    Clean and comfortable. Hot tub could do with a clip on drinks holder to level the side up if at all possible,

    Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you liked our welcome pack. We will see what we can do about a clip for a drinks holder for the hot tub, great idea. We hope you will come again. Regards Catherine and Amanda Property Owner

  • "Absolutely beautiful stay, we came back for a second time because we loved it so much and we will definitely come again."

    A lovely homely lodge, lots of thought and attention to make it comfortable and dog friendly which is a must for us. Our only feedback was that the hot tub had a bit of scumy dirt around the water level and seemed like it hadn't been cleaned. The TV signal was really poor, as was the wifi. I think if the TV signal and possibly the wifi could be sorted out it would be a great improvement. Thank you for a wonderful stay, would thoroughly recommend staying here. Bests Lucie and Bernie

    Thank you for your feedback, glad you loved our lodge. The hot-tub is drained down and cleaned between guests but occasionally if previous guests haven’t followed our hot tub rules and have been wearing makeup or fake tan the filter still has residue. If you do stay again, please report any issues to us and we will resolve straight away. In this case our hot tub cleaner would have come out to sort. We will look again at the TV and WiFi but it’s difficult in such a rural location. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you will consider coming back. Kind regards Amanda and Catherine Property Owner

  • "A damp/musty smell in the bathroom when it had been closed up so we had to leave the window slightly open."

    It turned out to be the shower attachment to the mixer tap had a leak so we could not use it. The hot tub was good but the area was dirty and the cover was very heavy and awkward to cope with, we are both in our 80s. A gate at the top of the access steps would be good when visitors like us had a dog. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Manderine Lodge and Northumberland.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you experienced some issues with the lodge, if you had let us know we would have resolved during your stay. I appreciate the hot tub lids are very heavy as they contain a lot on insulation to keep the water warm. We are looking at a gate at the top of the stairs as we realise that dog owners would like better security for their dogs. Thank you again for your feedback .

  • "Lovely well equipped and clean accommodation."

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it had everything we needed and more. Lovely little touches like the wine, crisps, dog food and a kitchen with essentials!! Hot tub brilliant! Close enough for days out but in a lovely location, so the best of both worlds. Would definitely return x

  • "We had a great stay, the only down side was a very muddy walk to the Bari Bar and back."

    It could be improved by putting a path instead of the muddy road.

    You will be pleased to hear that a path with new lighting is being laid at the moment. Property Owner

  • "The lodge was clean and all essentials provided."

    However, the carpet in the sitting area was very badly stained and the settee was well worn and not at all comfortable to sit in for any length of time. The tap was loose on the handbasin of the en-suite shower room and the shower hose kept coming off the shower head when in use. The shower in the main bathroom was not good either. The kitchen and dining area were good with plenty of space for cooking and dining and we made good use of the veranda, although that could have done with a really good clean as it was really quite dirty, espescially when compared to our neighbouring lodges. All in all, we enjoyed our stay as the park is set in lovely woodland and a good location for visiting local attractions, however not in Manderine Lodge as it is really looking a bit tired.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are really sorry that you found Manderine looking tired and in need of some repairs. It has been a busy season and clearly it has taken its toll on the lodge. We have replaced the living room carpet, tightened the tap in the en-suite, fitted new made to measure blinds in both bathrooms. The hose and shower head has been replaced and the verandah has had a spring clean. Property Owner

    It was a very good price, good size, homely and would recommend this accommodation. I will definately be booking again in the near future.

    Thank you for your feedback we have had a new carpet and new blinds in the bathrooms since you stayed with us last year. Hoping to see you back again soon. Property Owner

  • "The property was good value for money."

    Kitchen and livingroom facilities were great. Although, a little dated and a bit grubby in places (mould in bathroom, wonky tap and stains on the carpet). The hot tub was a good size and was in a nice location underneath the trees. However, this meant there were constant insects, leaves etc. It really needs a net, as there was always scum on the sides which made it quite off putting getting in. I wouldn't come back for this reason.

  • "Pros - A beautiful lodge in a beautiful location."

    The lodge comes fully equipped with all you need to have an amazing holiday. The hot tub is great and easy to use for novices like myself. WiFi works well. Kitchen is fully equipped with all you need. You are surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty of walks for the dog right on your doorstep. If you want to venture out it's not far to plenty of beautiful beaches, castles and various other attractions. We had a fantastic holiday and will no doubt return in the future. Cons - None Things that need attention - The over bath shower is not very powerful. The extractor in the bathroom is very noisy, needs replacing. TV could do with an update. Thanks for a great holiday.

    Thank you for your feedback, we replaced both bathroom extractors and popped new blinds up in both bathrooms. We have also replaced the TV and put a new carpet in the sitting room. I hope that you will book with us again. Property Owner

The property

Felton 2.8 miles.

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Felton, Northumberland on the Percy Wood Country Park is Manderine Lodge.

This wonderful, dog-friendly lodge benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior with two well-appointed bedrooms, off-road parking, and a decked veranda with hot tub, as well as a fantastic location on a site with amenities including a sports court, golf course, adventure playground, its own woods and a close proximity to the picturesque Northumberland National Park; the perfect setting for families.

Head into your new home-from-home where the warmth of the electric flame-effect stove greets you after a day of exploration, unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV or step into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up hearty meals.

Enjoy these as a family at the dining table or indulge in an alfresco affair on the wrap-around decking, where tranquil birdsong is the soundtrack to your meal.

Later, enjoy a soothing soak in the hot tub and watch on as the stars fill the sky before heading inside to wash away the day’s adventures in the bathroom; you can then slope off to sleep in either the king-size with en-suite shower room or the twin with TV.

If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful park venture into the nearby village of Felton where you can pick up all the necessities for your self-catered stay or treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen with a delicious meal at The Northumberland Arms.

The fabulous, Northumberland Zoo is only a short drive from Mandarine Lodge, showcasing a variety of exotic wildlife including snow leopards and lemurs; a guaranteed day of fun for the whole family!

History is woven throughout the surrounding countryside; explore the National Trust site of Cragside, the riverside ruins of Edlingham Castle or venture to Alnwick to tour its breath-taking castle which may look familiar to eagle-eyed Harry Potter fans.

The coast is also easily accessible, travel to Warkworth where its wonderful castle overlooks the stunning golden shores of Warkworth Beach or take a boat trip from Amble to explore the open water, you may even spot the resident puffins and grey seals.

All this and more awaits you at Manderine Lodge.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
