“Lime tree lodge is perfect in every way but one, could not get on line.”

I download the Mail every day at home. Everything else was great, Diane is a lovely owner so pleasant and welcoming. Would go again if internet is available.

Mr Hulse July 2019

“Lime tree lodge was superb.”

And more. The Proctors looked after anything we needed right away. Checked to see if everything was fine. A wonderful family. The countryside around the lodge was spectacular. Absolutely highly recommend this vacation lodge. The lodge was well looked after, comfortable and for 4 adults and 2 children lots of room. The outside play area great for young children. A beautiful setting. We could not have had a more pleasant and comfortable stay. Easy access to Alnwick and Northumberland’s amazing beaches. All just minutes away.

Mrs Piggott September 2018

“Wonderful holiday property 10/10 in every way.”

On arrival what struck me first were the far reaching views across the Northumberland countryside and on entrance I knew I'd chosen a fab holiday property. The lodge itself was warm and comfortable and presented to a high standard. Mrs Proctor has been in the hospitality trade for many years oozing warmth and a bubbly welcome. We do not hesitate to recommend this holiday property and can't wait to return.

- Mrs Piggott, September 2018
Mr Hook September 2018

Mrs Mclaughlin June 2018

“The owners were friendly and helpful.”

Stair gates were most welcome with a 2 year old. Excellent location for touring the whole of Northumberland, especially the coast. Loads of nice places to eat at reasonable prices. Beaches were clean and parking cheap.

- Mrs Mclaughlin, June 2018
Mr Rushton April 2018

“We had a wonderful stay at Lime Tree Lodge.”

The lodge was really well set up for our party of 2 adults and 3 children. It is in a lovely rural setting and well located for the attractions of Northumberland. Dianne and Arthur are perfect hosts. The welcome pack, including home made bread, wine and Easter eggs was a lovely surprise. We stayed during lambing season and Arthur took time out of his hectic schedule to show the children how to feed the orphan lambs - it was the highlight of our trip.

- Mr Rushton, April 2018
Mr Atkinson April 2018

“A lovely clean, well equipped cottage in an ideal location to tour the major sites of Northumberland.”

Would recommend without hesitation.

- Mr Atkinson, April 2018
Mr Preece March 2018

“An excellent base for a family holiday in Northumberland.”

Easy reach of the coast and beaches, plus inland to National Trust and places like the beautiful Alnwick Gardens and castle. We had a warm welcome on arrival with a few tasty treats to get us going and help was available throughout our stay. Accommodation is ideal with three great sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. Safe and secure play area in sight of the property and of course there’s the farm to explore along the footpaths. We were lucky to be there as lambing was taking place. At nights you are surrounded by quiet - refreshing to hear only the sounds of nature and not of traffic. All in all most highly recommended.

- Mr Preece, March 2018
Mr Clark October 2017

“A lovely cottage in a wonderful location.”

“Just Perfect”

We have just spent a most wonderful week here, the accommodation is Just lovely 3 very good sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The living area is very spacious and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you would need. It has free WiFi and good phone reception. There is central heating which is very good as we did use it one night. It is set in the grounds of Swarland Old Hall and as there are only 2 it is quiet. The welcome pack us very nice 2 fresh loaves of bread, tea, milk, a lovely cake and bottle of wine which was very much appreciated. The area is beautiful and there is a lot to see. It is a working farm so there are animal's about but that never bothered us and the family that own and run this are very lovely people and just want you to enjoy your time there which we did

Mrs Gurnhill December 2016

“This was a lovely lodge, very well presented in a beautifully peaceful location.”

The owners are so pleasant and the welcome pack was excellent. We would love to go again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lodge.

Mr Marsden November 2016

“Mr & Mrs Proctor are very approachable, they had thought about the essentials on arrival, wine, cake and bread, very thoughtful.”

The lodges are extremely comfortable, very warm and very clean. All facilities are modern and efficient, hot water is plentiful and the heating can be set to just how you like it. The location is just about right, it is a very rural position but only 10mins away from shops, public house etc. The lodges are within a working farm environment so you will get the sounds and smells that go with farming, so don't be surprised when they are feeding the cattle at 7.30 in the morning, although we never heard anything once inside the lodge. Overall a great weeks holiday in a nice location with friendly hosts who try to think of everything.

- Mr Marsden, November 2016
Mr Foster October 2016

Steve M September 2016

“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.

- Steve M, September 2016

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Lime Tree Lodge, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your break there with us all. The feeling of being in a rural location, but with great transport links to further afield sounds perfect, certainly the best of both worlds! We will pass your comments along to the owner and hope that you return for another holiday in the very near future! Sykes owner relations
