“First class holiday accommodation”
On arrival we called at the owners home opposite and was warmly welcomed by the owner Mrs Proctor. The lodge was immaculate and beautifully furnished. There was a welcoming bottle of wine, biscuits, milk and bread. The grounds surrounding the lodge were also well kept and there was a play area for younger children with swings and slides. The views from the lodge were spectacular looking over the surrounding farmland, you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere. However there is easy access to the main A1 which will take you to many of the attractions in the area. Amongst the best holiday homes I've stayed in in the last 20 years.

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.
