What our customers say about their holidays

• Susan - Verified booking

  Alwinton Lodge is a comfortable welcoming home from home.

  The kitchen especially is very well equipped. Cooking with a set of three saucepans, a large sauté pan and a full set of tools was a pleasure. Dogs are catered for with their own doggy box. We did not use this however, because our mini-Schnauzer, Archie, has his own holiday kit. He did enjoy the treats that were left though. Northumberland is very dog friendly. Archie visited Cragside and Bamburgh Castle with us and enjoyed all their outdoor spaces. The road adjoining Fram Park does not have a pavement, but there is a grass verge up to the pavement further up the road. Archie had full days out with us, so did not need very long early morning walks. While is it is essential to have a car to get around, there is free parking in Alnwick. We enjoyed a bus ride on the X18 with Archie to Morpeth. This is an interesting town to visit with pleasant river walks through their park. In Alnwick, the Information Centre is part of the Playhouse/Library complex. There are no signs outside and even the locals do not know where the I.C. is. All staff were very helpful and gave lots of useful and interesting information. This was an extremely relaxing week, enjoying sunny autumn days in the natural beauty of Northumberland countryside. I would highly recommend this lodge if you like peace, tranquillity and dark starry skies. We look forward to staying here again at a different time of year.

  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

  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

  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!

  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
