  • "Very impressive accommodation."

    Owners attention to detail was first rate. We had booked the lodge to spend our Golden Wedding with our family, and it was a truly memorable stay. Surrounding countryside was lovely too. We enjoyed so many nice walks.

  • "This lodge was fantastic, it was lovely spacious set in beautiful woodland."

    The lodge was in a perfect position in the park for us to park but also to walk my dog as there was plenty of little walks next to our lodge. The hot tub at the lodge was one of the best I have had, the temperature was fantastic & the lights around made it magical. Debra the owner was great she messaged me on the first day to check everything was ok & to leave me her number for any problems. The lodge facilities were great & has instructions on every appliance.. could not have asked for more for a lodge & we will definitely be back.

  • "Beautiful lodge."

    Modern and great layout. Everything you need provided. Lovely hot tub Great communication with owners and well located. Even took the train to Edinburgh for the day Only downside was: close proximity to other lodges with some privacy issues, but normally we hire a cottage or house. Neighbours on last days were definitely not ones we would choose. Too much booze fuelled swearing up to 1am, but not reflection on the otherwise great time we had. Would highly recommend this lodge.

  • "Great, well appointed lodge."

    Good location at Otterburn Hall Estate. Only minor comment is that it would have been nice to be able to separate the recycling. But really enjoyed our few days away.

  • "Our stay at The Broken Sky Lodge was truly exceptional."

    From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the thoughtful touches, like the delicious cookies and sweets waiting for us. The lodge itself is beautifully appointed, with great facilities that made our stay both comfortable and convenient. The beds were incredibly comfy, ensuring we had restful nights, and the large hot tub was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which allowed us to cook most nights without any hassle. The peacefulness of the site added to the overall relaxing experience, making it a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host was attentive and checked in from afar to ensure everything was going smoothly, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, The Broken Sky Lodge provided us with a lovely stay, and we couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended!

  • "Property is really well maintained, stylishly done inside and super comfortable."

    The owners were very helpful and communicated with me regularly on the day of arrival. Kids loved the hot tub and it was a good base for us to visit the Northumbrian coast, Lake District and Edinburgh as all within a couple of hours away. Only slight issue was a 30th birthday party being a bit noisy in one of the neighbouring properties one evening well into the early hours combined with a strong smell of marijuana

    It is set in a peaceful location with plenty of walks available in the local area. Premier shop and pub(William de Percy) not too far away in Otterburn village plus you get a 20% discount at this pub when staying in the lodge which is a bonus.

  • "Lovely location Lake could be a bit cleaner with more benches."

    That just one small contrition. The lodge was facilitated with every we could wish for. A proper home from home. From lovely clean beds made for us to washing up liquid dishwasher pods and loo rolls provided. Nipping clean. Friendly hot tub guy coming around every morn to put solution in tub. We had one night of clear sky. Felt like we could touch the stars. Enjoyed our country walks where we saw a dear and red squirrel. Ordered and picked up meals from the Coach House. A little pricey but delicious. Hence why we ordered again. Can’t wait to go back. Loved it. A family of five with a dog. A lovely chilled relaxing holiday at Otterburn

  • "Lodge was very comfortable and well appointed."

    I loved the hive heating system which came on automatically when the temperature dropped (handy for first thing on a morning for a September holiday!) and was easy to boost during the day to take chill off when necessary. Could have done with somewhere to store muddy boots and wet coats (although we were lucky with the weather, so not such a problem for us). The decking area and hot tub were well maintained (hot tub was serviced every morning) and perfect to relax in after a day out exploring in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Would certainly recommend for a peaceful get away break

    Thank you for your feedback and I'm so pleased that our property itself suited you. Local independent amenities at the moment are outside our control and of course also subject to the covid situation may be closed or open at different times to usual. Also due to the covid situation, less hard copy information is being provided within the property for hygiene purposes - this is for guest safety and we hope guests understand that. We are glad you enjoyed your stay though. Property Owner
