  • "The lodge was of a very high standard with everything you could possibly need for a fantastic holiday."

    Being able to feed Red Squirrels off the balcony made our holiday extra special. Would definitely recommend this lodge.

  • "Overall the interior of the lodge is clean, well equipped and comfortably furnished."

    The quality of bedding & towels is good and the supply of dvd's, toys, games & books is a nice touch. There was a good supply of hot water however the cold tap in the kitchen runs warm initially. We assume the hot & cold pipes are too close together? We found the heated airer had a broken catch so it would not stand properly making it rather dangerous if there are children or dogs in the property. The only reason we have not given Treetops a 5* review is lack of attention of tidiness of the exterior. Understandably due to the many surrounding trees there will always be an element of leaf detritus. However the decking had not been swept for a long time with lots of leaf matter around the whole area. Dead leaves were in the hot tub scoops one of which is falling to pieces. There were bird droppings along the railings and on the outdoor furniture and the hot tub was splattered. The overall appearance of the exterior with cobwebs, debris etc let's down what the lodge offers internally. It would also be useful if there was a book with details of how the equipment worked. There were a number of instruction leaflets in a drawer but nothing relating to heating, the automatic rubbish bin, soap hand dispenser etc.

    Hi, I am sorry you feel like this but with the bird and squirrel feeders this is unfortunately the downside (and being so close to the trees) and believe me it can be left for just 1 or 2 days and still be covered in leaves and bird droppings. However, most of my guests prefer to experience the wildlife and the leaves have not spoilt anyone elses stay. The decking is brushed and the tables are cleaned but if the lodge has been empty prior to your stay there could be a build up so we do leave a brush for guests. Property Owner

  • "As you’ll see from the guest book we really enjoyed our stay."

    All the additional touches were thoughtful and amazing. Beds were comfortable, and there was everything you could possibly need and more. A couple points, that we didn’t note, was the hot tub was not really clean and had far too much chlorine in it. The mat coming out needs replaced, it was green. The outdoor cushions were also covered in dog hair.

  • "Couple of minor items - lack of hanging space for clothes - was a bit awkward for 5 adults and as we were attending a wedding and hanging space for suits/dresses was only really available in master bedroom."

    Also there were no hand towels - but we had brought our own anyway.

    Sublime. Exceptional. Faultless. The scenery and location is second to none. Worthy of getting lost in the localities and then withdrawing to the lodge when ready. Would 100% recommend and will 110% be visiting again. Thank you.

The delightful village of Otterburn, once the site of the famous 1388 victory of the Scots over the English, nestles close to the banks of the River Rede, between the hills and moors overlooking the North Tyne Valley. It offers excellent walking opportunities and is on a variety of popular routes for cyclists. Hadrian's Wall and the beautiful Kielder Forest and Waters are close by, providing fantastic fishing, horse riding and nature watching, amidst superb, tranquil countryside. Otterburn is the former home of a busy weaving industry, and the world famous Otterburn Mill marks the village's historic past. Nearby Bellingham, built predominantly from local stone and slate, houses a handful of pubs, shops and tea rooms and a highly regarded 18 hole golf course. Visit the nearby, majestic, stately homes of Wallington Hall and Cragside, or the historic market town of Alnwick, with its stunning castle and gardens, a mere 40 minute drive.
