What visitors say
Words can't describe. The whole walk every nook was truly just PERFECT. The lake was bigger than some city's as it stretched across in crystal blue conditions, showcasing what Northumberland is really like.

What a beautiful part of the country. Far less crowded and overrun than the Lake District and therefore more peaceful. I cannot speak highly enough of the lodges, clean and high spec. The attention to detail was very much appreciated e.g. milk in the fridge on arrival and a bottle of wine. Absolutely loads to do. Bat walk, gym sessions, swimming and an Osprey cruise amongst some of the highlights not to mention the walks and the night sky....wow !! Shop is well stocked and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Will come again, just don't tell everyone 😉

This is a very quiet and tranquil place to stay. We stayed at Kieldar Waterside park. Fresh air will knock you out! Kids , dogs are friendly and even cats. Lots of activities to do for children(extra cost to your stay in the lodge). The outside park has a lot of slides, climbing and swings for all ages ranges of children. There is a small shop to buy what you need and a restaurant with a separate soft play room. The food was great and on our visit It had a deal for children to eat free if you stay at a lodge. It has a small indoor pool and spa but the spa wasn't open during our spring stay. Slot of trails to walk. We saw a lot of hares, birds and even deer. With it being a dark spot it's great for star gazing. We were also given a free parking pass for around the lake parking spots whilst on our stay.
