Cairnswood is a bright airy and comfortable lodge for couples or friends to have some downtime, relax in the bubbling hot tub on the raised deck which wraps around the lodge, and sit and watch the world go by. With some trees and greenery at the front, the lodge is ideally located, offering some privacy, yet only a short walk to the on-site restaurant and café. This 40-acre country park is home to a pretty lake with resident swans and wildlife where you can take an evening stroll then perhaps something to eat on-site or take a few minutes’ drive to one of the many restaurants and pubs nearby.
Located close to the A1 yet you feel like you are in a country retreat, best of both worlds for exploring the local area. Children with you would love the Northumberland Zoo which is only half a mile or within walking distance for those who enjoy walking. Burgham Park Golf course is only half a mile, ideal for the golfers in the family. Nearby Alnwick is home to the Duke and Duchess where you can visit the majestic castle used in some Harry Potter scenes, or visit the Duchess enchanting water gardens then meander the streets soaking up the history.
Nearby Morpeth is a very pretty little market town with some wonderful bars and restaurants and an Edwardian shopping arcade to explore, as well as river boats down on the river Wansbeck. Nearby Felton has an award-winning café and a friendly pub serving lovely food and drinks. Being close to the A1 means you can travel in all directions going somewhere different every day, perhaps a day over at Hadrian’s Wall taking in the Roman Forts and glorious countryside would appeal to you, or perhaps a day trip to the Dark Sky International National park would suit, or maybe even some retail therapy in Newcastle where you can enjoy the Quayside and culture of the streets and buildings.
Visitors to Cairnswood will be spoilt for choice for places to visit, and how wonderful to return to relax in the hot tub and share the memories of your days out.

We had issues with, the fridge was set so high it froze all our salad items making them inedible,it was difficult to hang our clothes due to owners clutter in walk in wardrobe and bed in second bedroom made it impossible to open the wardrobe door, several pots on the decking and either dead plants or weeds in. It was such a shame because otherwise it could have been a perfect place to stay. Good points comfy bed ,good shower and plenty of hot water .

Enjoyed our stay very much . Nice lodge which was well equipped. On arrival it appeared not to have been hoovered, however there was a problem with the vacuum cleaner, so maybe this was why . Beds very comfy and more importantly clean . Loved the hot tub but the decking could do with some work . Very bouncy obviously some timbers need replacing. The outside could do with some tlc . The shower room was clean with a lovely powerful shower . The speed ramps on the site were plentiful, so please go slowly as to not damage your car , we felt they were excessive. Old lodge but very clean and comfortable.

Our second time of staying in this lodge, a few minor issues which I have messaged the owner about but nothing that stopped us having a great time. We didn't get chance to use the outdoor seating much this time as the weather wasn't warm enough but we certainly made use of the hot tub which has the best booster bubbles I have seen, (don't forget to take extra towels as you only get 1 bath and hand towel each). Plenty of room in the lodge there was 4 adults and a small dog in our party and we had plenty of room. Bedrooms were a decent size and comfortable beds. The lodge is a minute walk from the Crazy Horse pub which is great if you don't want to cook and has entertainment and bingo on some nights. The site is in an ideal position just off the A1 (although once you are on the site you would not know this), loads of towns and beaches to visit within 30 mins away.
