About this property

Nestled into the Percy Wood Park in Swarland, 15 Silverbirch is a delightful lodge, outfitted to a high standard and ideal for a family or two couples looking to explore the coast and countryside of Northumberland. Be welcomed into a light and airy open-plan living space, sporting homely décor, ample amenities and large windows and patio doors allowing in seas of light and views of the park. Here guests can get to grips with the well-fitted kitchen and rustle up a storm, which can be served at the family dining table, before settling into the sitting area beside the electric fire to enjoy a movie marathon. When sleep calls, settle down into one of two well-presented bedrooms, choosing between a double with en-suite shower room and a double with en-suite bathroom. Outside you will find a delightful wrap-around veranda with a great selection of furniture and a barbecue, plus a non-enclosed patio with furniture, encouraging guests to dine alfresco in the sunshine with a glass of their favourite beverage. The Percy Wood Park itself offers a fantastic range of facilities for guests to try out, including a golf course, adventure playground. Swarland itself is a rural village offering a selection of amenities, including a post office where you can stock up on essentials, Nelson’s at the Park restaurant and a local pub, Bari Bar, and within a short drive you can visit Viking and Roman towns, including Warkworth with its incredible castle and beautiful beach and Alnwick, a historic market town with a fantastic rage of independent shops, quaint eateries, a museum and the impressive Alnwick Castle. For retail therapy, visit Morpeth town centre, or visit Bamburgh where there is another beautiful beach and castle. Visit the scenic Low Hauxley Nature Reserve for birdwatching and nature lovers will enjoy the Northumberland Zoo or spend a day hiking or mountain biking through the breath-taking scenery of the Northumberland National Park. Amble and Embleton are also well worth a visit. Enjoy all of this and so much more with a stay at the delightful 15 Silverbirch.

The delightful village of Swarland is set in rural Northumberland, between Morpeth to the south and Alnwick to the north. The village has Nelsons, situated in the sports hall, which is open seven days a week, serving excellent coffee and meals, a children’s play area and tennis courts. It is just 8 miles from Alnwick, with its castle and garden, which features Europe's largest cascading water feature, an enormous tree house, a rose garden and an ornamental walled garden. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat. There is plenty to see and do near to Swarland, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Brinkburn Priory is a pleasant drive away, a restored Augustinian Priory in a most lovely setting beside the River Coquet. Just 10 minutes’ drive to the west is the National Trust’s Cragside House and Gardens. Altogether a perfect location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.

    I was a bit surprised to find underwear and clothing items in one of the bedside draws which meant I couldn’t use it. Also lots of food items in cupboards which I’m presuming is owner’s personal items? As we arrived in the dark we drove past the lodge the first time as lighting on the park not great and we had to get out of car to check numbers on lodges with a torch, also instructions of where the key store box is located would have been good as missed it first time and again had to use torch on phone to see numbers. There was no internet provided or any information about it so we used hotspot on phone for Netflix. Also email received at end of stay from Sykes telling us to follow check out info provided when leaving lodge but none provided I.e leave towels in bathrooms/strip beds/dispose of rubbish in bin areas! None of this takes away the great stay we had in the lodge, the comfort and location all good and the advertised pictures are spot on. The shower in the en-suite is the best I’ve experienced in a lodge very roomy and powerful. Would recommend and would consider staying again.

    Had everything you needed. Will definitely be going back. Christmas decorations were fab. Thank you for the hamper, only thing was we couldn't work out how to use the coffee machine

  • William

    The only downside was the grubbiness of the two sofas in the living area. Apart from that the lodge was a lovely place to stay.
