Very clean but with a place this big USB sockets should be available, we only brought 1 plug charger the rest were USB but nowhere to plug them in

Beautiful lodge in a beautiful setting, definitely has a wow factor when entering, the pictures on the website don't do it justice.Had a few little issues which we had to sort via an email instruction (Hot tub reset and turning the underfloor heating off).Overall the lodge has everything you would need and more, most the site was closed this time of year, which we knew so can't comment on the facilities.

All positive would recommend luxury accommodation in Kielder Forest. The stars were out fantastic dark skies.

Only issue was cold hot tub till 2nd evening! Not acceptable when you pay a lot more for a lodge with hot tub

The lodge was perfect for a couple. We found it to be very comfortable and immaculately clean with good quality self catering accessories provided and excellent facilities. It was also very peaceful and quiet which all made for a very enjoyable and relaxing break. We didn't use the restaurant facilities at the park so we can't rate or comment on this aspect sorry.

The Bradbury was beautiful and the furniture of good quality. However there was a lack of glasses and crockery in the kitchen. No soup/cereal bowls, no casseroles, no glass tumblers.
Shower in the main bathroom was broken (it would not turn on), we reported this on the first day. A new one was needed but wouldn't be fitted until the day we left. 4 adults had to use the en-suite to shower which was not really acceptable in a chalet of this price.
Hot tub has been placed so that when you lift up the cover the scenery was completely blocked.

Had a great time lodge was excellent very well equipped my only downside is the park it is in has very little for small children one tiny park not much in it..also at lodge there needs to be a gate to close off the decking from the road outside if you have a dog or young children its less than ideal

Excellent. Hot tub amazing.

Perfect. No other words required

Will be returning in due course. As its self cater in the lodge make sure you get your essentials. I came from the south and the nearest for food etc at a good price is at Co-op in the village Bellingham. Its nine miles from the lodge. You could use a shop near Boat Inn but its very pricey. Plus Bellingham has a nice bakery next door to Co-op. Elf Kirk has a beautiful view :)

Had the best time, just what we needed. We didnt have chance to visit all of the sites, so we will have to come back to make sure we fit it all in.

Thank you for a wonderful time

Excellent stay this lodge was beautiful

Fab and tranquil place to be with the family of four great for young children and older children

What a beautiful place to stay! Stayed for 3 nights. The lodge was fantastic, fully equipped and everything we wanted! Beautifully decorated with underfloor heating and a great hot tub with breathtaking views. Can't wait to come back!

Lodge was fantastic but disappointed hot tub not ready for our first night

Very comfortable lodge with everything you need, perfect for a relaxing break.

Had a great time and will definitely be back.

Just the relaxing break we needed.

Lovely stay beautiful lodge. Amazing location.

Lovely lodge in fantastic location.

A great peaceful break

Fantastic lodge. Did not want for anything.
Hot tub amazing.
Clean spotless and homely mot to mention very spacious.

As stated above we loved the Straker lodge.
We didnt book any meals or activities so are unable to comment on them.

The lodge was wonderful, with every available home comfort (and more!)


The only slight criticism would be that it smelled quite strongly of damp when we arrived, but this went after an evening. It was also a little frustrating that the hot tub was not available for use until the following evening, as my children had been so excited about it.

Would highly recommend this lodge

Loved it & would definitely return

This is an amazing lodge with lots of features and gadgets. The views are lovely during the day and even better at night with clear skies.
The lodge is extremely spacious and has everything you need and more.
Lodges were well spread out and very private, we didn't hear a thing .
The only reason we haven't given 10 is there was a smell of drains in the main bedroom and the bedroom lights flickered on and off randomly during the night.
The booking form does warn you the hot tub may not be ready for use on the first night and it wasn't. This is the first time we've experienced this.
We had a take away one night and the food was lovely, plenty of it and reasonable price.
The odd negative we have put were reported so hopefully they'll be put right.
There is an activity centre a few minutes drive away that has a pub which serves lovely food and a small shop that sells essentials.
We would definitely recommend this lodge and hopefully will return in the future.

Fantastic retreat in the middle of nowhere. Log fired hot tub for aching legs at the end of a 20 mile hike. Local pub The Pheasant for Sunday roast, fantastic break away in the countryside.

Excellent lodge and facilities

Amazing holiday, loved every minute.
