  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

  On arrival at our accommodation we were delighted to find how well presented the property was, and how extremely well equipped it was, there was absolutely everything you needed.

  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.

  Enjoyed our stay at Lodge 32.

  The site it is on was quiet and peaceful and well cared for. If you've read other reviews about the toilet not flushing this is operator error, just jab the large flush button with your thumb and keep it there until the cistern empties. Hot tub was nice, staff arrive every morning to clean and treat it, nice folk. Ask them to tune the tub to your liking. The shop in the village “Border Reiver” was very good and staff helpful, as was the Otterburn Mill Cafe and Shop. Nearest fuel station was Bellingham (Jet) or at Thropton (Shell), so arrive fuelled up unless you are venturing out and about. The Coach House on site was not open during our stay, so arrive expecting to self cater. They have no chef at the moment (but this is not the responsibility of Lodge 32). If you are old folk like us the low furniture and beds are a tad difficult to get out of, not a criticism just a note for older guests.

  As a nurse going on a much needed break/rest with 2 colleagues, this was everything we needed.

  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

  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.
