"The Lodge was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped (maybe some serving spoons would be useful and we coudn't find any extra bin bags for the rubbish)."
It was well situated to get to local tourist sites and loads of lovely walks. The views from the house were stunning, in all directions. And I loved finding out about the history of the pele tower.
As we were staying for 2 weeks, we did expect to find arrangements for a change of bed linen and towels but this didn't happen - we found some "not such good quality" towels in a cupboard and washed the bed linen ourselves. Apart from that minor inconvenience, we had an excellent holiday.

"The Lodge was lovely."
Could not fault the cleanliness. Spotlessly clean. Probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in. Elsdon is the perfect base for exploring the area with easy access to places of interest. The village has a pub which serves lunches and evening meals at a very reasonable price. Close by there is a coffee shop run by a lovely couple who are very welcoming and a font of knowledge of the local area. Will be booking again.

"This was an exceptional holiday cottage and we have already recommended The Lodge to friends."
John gave us a great welcome and the extra touches when we arrived were much appreciated.
There are so many interesting places to visit within a short distance and Elsdon is a gem of a village. The Tower, a beautiful church, a friendly pub and even a fabulous
Motte and Bailey.
We will definitely return. Graham.

"A beautiful well equipped cottage in a lovely village with beautiful views back and front."
We were made very welcome, and found it very comfortable, and an excellent setting off point for days out - beautiful wild moors, and plenty of castles and gardens, and runs to a beautiful coastline. The enclosed garden provided a safe and welcome place for visiting dogs, and an easy to light wood burner provided cosy evenings in. Certainly we can recommend this Lodge.

"The Lodge is a very spacious, immaculate detached cottage."
For two people, it is one of the largest we have stayed in, plenty of room, utility, parking space etc. Everything you think you will need, is there!! It is warm, cosy and very very pleasant, with wonderful views from both the rear orangery and the front conservatory! A wonderful, wonderful holiday cottage, ideal for just getting away from it all. The stunning Northumberland is an added bonus! Great walking country. John is a brilliant host and am sure nothing would be too much trouble for him to ensure you had a lovely holiday in his lovely property.

It is a wonderful, spacious, extremely comfortable cottage - the best equipped we have come across in 40 years of self-catering. Every comfort / guidance and information is provided in the cottage; John is the most gracious, kind and thoughtful host. We are booking our fourth stay soon! Can't wait to get back to this lovely property.

"Beautiful house with amazing views."
House had everything we could need. Kitchen was wonderfully kitted out for cooking- best cottage by far. Owners have done a great job making it feel like a home and not a ‘holiday cottage’.
