  • "The property owners were very warm and welcoming when I arrived and, although I didn't need anything during my stay, it was good to know that they were very willing to offer any help they could."

    The property was warm and comfortable and had everything needed for a very pleasant stay. Swallow Lodge is at the edge of a large housing estate but was very quiet and there was a lovely view of the owner's beautiful garden (which they were very happy to share) from the living area and of the garden and the open field and trees beyond from the bedroom. The property was an easy drive to Amble and also to the very attractive and interesting local country park which, in turn, gave access to a fantastic sandy beach.

  • "We had a lovely stay at swallow lodge, it was a beautiful place all built and designed by Paul and Jacqui."

    The gardens with the ponds and fish were tranquil and relaxing, there were lots of sitting areas . The annex were we stayed at the side of there’s was well thought out when designed, it was lovely and had everything in it for our stay, if we had forgotten anything it would of been sorted for us. Our dog Tom loved it especially the fields round the back, and he made a friend with jet there dog. Paul and Jacque were perfect hosts, and I would recommend any couple to go there for a peaceful retreat. It was central for visiting other places and the beautiful beaches and castles. Thank you both so much we’ve had a great time. Helen Tommy & Little Tom xxx

    Thank you, it was a real pleasure to meet you and share Tommy's birthday with you. We hope to see you again in the not too distant future. Enjoy Jacquis book. Property Owner

  • "The property was on an estate near a prison and was essentially a converted double garage."

    Previous reviews have covered the height of ceiling issues but if the property had been pristine and nice in every other way that would have been tolerable. There were not curtains on the door into the garden for privacy and the heating was outwith our control. I do not want to have to seek out the owner when I feel cold. A laundry without a dryer is useless and there was nowhere outside to dry washing. The kitchen was greasy, there was no dishwasher and the cupboards appear to be falling apart inside. We disliked it so much we left on Thursday morning. It would make me very wary of using you again - and we have used you many times before. Not worth the money - a caravan would have been about the same- and so disappointing. It was difficult to raise issues given we had to go through the owners’ hall to access the property. Your listing was by the letter accurate but we feel should have defined the extremely small size and perhaps an inspection is required to check on the state of the kitchen and bedroom and bathroom.

    We take it you will not be coming back. Have a nice day. Property Owner

  • "Jacqui and Paul were excellent hosts and made us very welcome."

    Accommodation and facilities were excellent if a trifle tight in places for my 6'4" frame due to sloping ceilings in bathroom and toilet. The property had everything anyone could need and the welcoming bottle of wine waiting on the table was a nice touch.Wonderful garden and open outlook made it a pleasure to sit outside and relax. Thank you J & P.

    Outside, as well as good parking space, there is a fascinating rear garden offering attractive lounging accommodation. Added to this the hosts were very welcoming and helpful at all times.

  • "This is a delightful property, with the most wonderful garden that the owners were happy to share, sadly the weather didn’t allow as much as we hoped."

    A super welcome from the owners and family dog who made us feel welcome and couldn’t have done more to make our stay comfortable. Swallow Lodge is well located for the Northumberland sights. It had been thoughtful fitted out with everything you would need. Our only negative would be the sloping roof in the bedroom and bathroom which caught us out until we got used to it.

  • "Swallow lodge is a beautiful quaint property which has all the comforts of home with every facility needed."

    The gardens are stunning with oriental feel ponds looking out to woodland. The bathroom facilities are well equipped with a hot shower and bath option. The kitchen has all pots and pans required with high quality cooker, microwave , toaster. There is a utility area with washing machine, ironing board and clothes hanger etc. The bed was super comfy and spotlessly clean. The owners Paul and Jacqui were the perfect hosts, welcoming and really approachable. Your comfort is their prime goal They even ensure you have toiletries available in the bathroom and dressing table in case you forget something- I thought this was really thoughtful Ample storage in the bedroom too. Our dog made friends with Jet a very gentle greyhound. We will definitely be back , super relaxing holiday in a great location , the nearest beach is only a mile away , which stretches , 7 miles, Fabulous !!!

    Sharing the garden with them was not a bit problematic - before I got there I thought it might be. Abundant walks for me and my dog; both locally and farther afield. A charming area and well worth a visit.

The property

Amble 3.6 miles.

A lovely couple’s retreat resting in the village of Hadston, south of Amble, Swallow Lodge is ideal for exploring the coast and countryside of Northumberland.

Be welcomed into a tastefully furnished open-plan living area, where large windows and patio doors allow in seas of light, where views of the garden can be enjoyed from the sitting area, an ideal spot for curling up with a coffee and a good book.

Cook up a storm in a contemporary kitchen, housing many great amenities to assist in creating a romantic meal for two, and whilst the laundry room takes care of your sandy clothes, enjoy your meal at the dining area.

Freshen up in a ground-floor shower room with eye-catching sparkly walls, or a charming little bathroom with wooden ceilings and a bath, ideal for a soak amongst the bubbles.

The double bedroom is a bubble of relaxation, with pine ceilings, a small library, a smart TV for reclining in bed as you catch up on your favourite shows, and views over the rear garden and the countryside beyond.

Make the most of the beautiful garden, boasting three large ponds, many shrubs and seating areas, making it ideal for an alfresco affair.

Hadston has local shops, and a little further away you can find a pub.

Close to the property you will find a walk through the woodlands and countryside, leading down to Druidge Bay Country Park, with the Stepping Stones and walks around the lake, a great spot for birdwatching, as well as East Chevington Bay, a lovely sandy beach ideal for watersports and strolls along the shore with your other half.

From here, discover Hauxley Wildlife Centre and beach, and beyond that, the bustling seaside town of Amble, where there is a picturesque harbour, piers where you can enjoy an ice cream with a view of the coast and many independent shops, tasty eateries, and riverside walks.

Beside Amble rests the historic town of Warkworth, where there is a historic Hermitage and the impressive Warkworth Castle, and beyond this there is the market town of Alnwick with its museum, gardens and castle shown in the Harry Potter films, Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Northumberland Zoo.

There is something for everyone with a stay at the quaint Swallow Lodge.

About the location

AMBLE

Warkworth 1 mile; Alnmouth 4 miles.

The bustling little seaport of Amble is situated at the mouth of the River Coquet and is an ideal place for exploring Northumberland. Historically a centre for boatbuilding, Amble offers a marina, a harbour, sandy beaches and coastal walks to the bird sanctuary at Hauxley and country park at Druridge Bay. Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an RSPB reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged. The pretty coastal villages of Alnmouth and Craster and numerous superb beaches are only a short drive away, whilst picturesque Warkworth with its castle, charming Alnwick with its castle and award-winning gardens, and the National Trust’s Wallington Hall and Cragside are all within easy reach.
