• "A fabulous, relaxing family get-together that was enhanced by the many home comforts provided in this accommodation."

  The owner has thought of everything, so it's set up for a hassle-free stay. Thanks so much for that. We were very fortunate to have good weather for a late October stay, so were able to enjoy sitting outside on the decking, taking in the autumn colours and sounds while facing the pond. We thought this lodge was probably on the best part of the site, even though it was quite close to Reception. It was very quiet and well-spaced from other units, giving a reasonable degree of privacy. We already knew the area well, so finding our favourite eateries and pursuits was easy, as this place is great for both the coast and countryside in Northumberland. The only very minor disappointment was that the on-site pub/restaurant (a 15mins walk away), is only open on certain days at this time of the year. This wasn't an issue, though, because there are plenty of other excellent places to eat out a short drive away. We hope to return soon and highly recommend Oaks One to everyone. Angela October 2024

• "We had a lovely stay in Oaks One."

  Very comfortable bed and all that we could need for our stay. The enclosed veranda proved popular with our puppy for her morning meander !! We would not hesitate to book here again in the future.

• "What can I say the lodge is everything and more , there was everything you needed and more ."

  The beds were soo comfortable and a good night sleep every night. The lodge is situated not far from the entrance of the Percy Wood Park looking over the pond but it was soon quiet. We walked straight down the road to the right and thru the gates to the clubhouse where a nice meal and pint can be had. The park is ideal to be based at to go around the beautiful countryside and coast. The Cook & Barker pub in nearby village is definitely a must the meals are divine and all local produce. So I would definitely recommend and will be returning.

  Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so pleased you had a holiday to remember. Good nights sleep is at the heart of every holiday. Property Owner

• "We have had a really lovely week at Oaks One."

  The property was really well equipped, with most of everything you could thing of in the kitchen especially! The living and sleeping areas were really comfortable and everywhere was very clean. The position of the property on the park was excellent as it’s very near the entrance, and away from a lot of the noise. We did however have a very noisy dog next door - which is no fault of the owners! The only thing I’d suggest is a little info pack on what’s expected at the end of the stay and where to find things - we had to find our way to the bins and had to message to find out what needed doing when we left. Bar that, everything was pretty much perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay - we were very sad to leave!

  Thank you for your kind comments. It’s good to hear you have a wonderful holiday . Kind regards Property Owner

  The lodge is furnished with high quality fixtures and fittings and is situated on a lovely park close to all the top attractions Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Cragside, the coast etc. Enjoyed my morning coffee sat on the decking overlooking a small pond watching ducks, other birds and was lucky enough to see a deer close up.

• "The lodge is in a lovely location within the park, from the decking you feel very secluded."

  The owners have gone above and beyond to provide everything that you could possibly want or need. The decor is colourful and uplifting in the lounge/dining/kitchen. The only very small negative for me was the very weighty duvet on the double bed, I found this unpleasant and the pillows were either too hard or too soft! I couldn't find my ideal. Having said that I would happily enjoy a second holiday at Oaks 1.

  Thank you for your kind comments. We have 3 different grades of pillow memory , duvet style and low fill. Maybe try a pillow from another room. As May is very cold we still have the winter weight duvets on. They do seperate out to a 9 plus a4.5 tog if you find this more to your liking. Kind regards Carolyn Property Owner

Location is very peaceful and ideal for dogs. Location is also well placed near to the A1 in order to travel both North and South of Northumberland for all the attractions. The lodge is a credit to the owners.

  Very clean and tidy with everything that you could need for a warm, comfortable stay (especially appreciated the welcome bowl of goodies!!). Unfortunately we had an incident that happened with an elderly visitor but the owners were very quickly contacted and are dealing with the aftermath!! Would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone. Very ideally set within Northumberland to be able to get to all the lovely tourist places. One of the best places we have stayed in.

• "Lovely location and a lovely spot on the park, (Perfect bench for morning tea to relax and watch the wildlife)."

  Everything you could wish for is provided. Unfortunately it is let down as being a little tired, kitchen and lounge are nice and look quite recent, the rest of the accommodation needs a good sparkle, just a thorough clean, couple of bathroom blinds together with a lick of paint and it’s done, outside needs an overall clean up, deck stain, glass veranda and that’s sorted, if we thought that these points had been addressed then we would return, trouble is there’s so many and standards have to be an absolute 9 really, I’d give this a 7 as it stood, like I say, not much really to up it!! Thanks, Martyn

  Please you enjoyed your stay. I’m not sure how to answer your feed other than in the spring we paint. The decking is neutral colour I have no intention of staining it . Our windows clean had been on holiday and is doing catch up cleaned last week.the bathroom blinds are to be replaced as we are refitting the bathroom later this year . Property Owner

• "The directions to the property are a total nonsense."

  You need to rewrite these so that future holiday makers can find the site without travelling to all four points of the compass. The property was very well equipped but lacked a local information folder with recommendations and directions.

  It difficult to communicate with people who do use a mobile phone . We are very happy to help people who get lost . To date we have only had this problem one other time . Percy woods has numerous signs on entering the village to indicate which way to travel, There is a large basket of maps local guides and information on the floor under the TV.

  Oaks One was the best of the best. The Lodge was spotless, beautifully "laid out" with high quality fixtures and fittings. The Welcome pack was the best and most thoughtful one I've seen in nearly 40 years of taking self catering holidays with my own family. We'd brought our colleagues dog, even he got a Welcome pack too!! The enclosed verandah meant we and him were relaxing together. The location was idyllic, surrounded by well kept grounds and "nature" at your door. It was relaxing watching the birds, ducks and moorhens on the pond, and visiting toads and frogs in glorious sunshine from the verandah. Extra special was visiting Roe deer on a 05.30hr early rising!! The owner telephoned to check we were happy and to help with anything. He made us feel so welcome. We will be booking again, as soon as time and off-duties allow. Thankyou

• "Very comfortable and trendy."

  Probably the best equipped property we have had. can`t think of anything lacking. The bed too is the most comfortable we have had. We explored the park and concluded Oaks One has the best site on the park but the park itself was disappointing. If i was paying £4,000 a year ground rent I would want far more facilities. Nelson`s is excellent but a least 2 miles away. But for anyone who is happy to go out and about for their entertainment i would highly recommend this lodge.

  The heating was on and all the beds made up, these beds were amazingly comfortable, it was obvious a great deal of money had been spent on the quality of the mattresses, something overlooked in some holiday properties. The whole cabin oozed luxury, we felt very comfortable aand at home for the 4 days we were there. It was a lovely touch when we got a call from David the owner to ask if everything was ok and to recommend some places to visit and places to eat in the area, which was extremely helpful. Percy Woods is a beautifully kept site with nice walks within, and a lovely golf course nearby, a tennis court, playpark. The magic for us was that Swarland is one of the Dark Sky areas of the Northumberland National Park, and on the morning of our departure at 5am whilst out with the dog, we were rewarded with an amazing sky. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone, it is a credit to the owner. We hope to make another visit sometime soon.
