Guests say
Lime Tree Lodge is highly praised for its cleanliness, welcoming hosts, and peaceful rural setting. Guests appreciate the well-equipped lodge, thoughtful welcome packs, and the property's proximity to Northumberland attractions. While some minor issues with facilities and maintenance are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
The lodge consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. One review mentioned the sofas being dirty, but this seems to be an isolated comment.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for exploring Northumberland. The rural setting and views are particularly appreciated, although one review mentioned difficulty with internet connectivity.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the lodge cosy and well-equipped. Some guests mentioned issues with old sofas and the heat in bedrooms, but these are relatively few compared to the overall positive feedback.
Facilities are generally praised, especially for families and children. However, some guests noted areas for improvement such as the provision of drying facilities for washing, the size of the fridge, and the age of the TV. The presence of stair gates and a secure play area are positively noted.
Many reviews express gratitude for the welcome packs provided, which include homemade bread, wine, and other treats. It is important to note that while these gifts are frequently mentioned and add to the experience, they are a kind gesture and not guaranteed with every stay.
