The Derwent Spa (Pet)

The Derwent Spa (Pet) is a welcoming, two-storey lodge on Hexham Lodges Holiday Park near Slaley, Northumberland, complete with nearby designated parking, a furnished balcony, and a garden hot tub.

From the moment you arrive, it’s easy to fall into the rhythm of a self-catered escape: the open-plan living area invites everyone to gather, whether you’re laying out snacks after a day out or sitting down for a shared meal.

The kitchen is well set up for holiday cooking, with a fridge/freezer and microwave alongside the usual conveniences, so picnics, quick lunches, and unhurried suppers are all within reach.

When it’s time to unwind, step outside to make the most of the outdoor space, sip something warm on the balcony as the day begins, then return later for a bubbling dip in the hot tub as the evening draws in.

Indoors, the layout suits groups looking for both together-time and a little privacy.

The bedrooms include a king-size with TV and an en-suite walk-in shower room, a twin with TV and an en-suite of its own, plus another twin with TV, supported by a family bathroom offering both a bath and a walk-in shower to keep routines running smoothly.

Entertainment is covered with Smart TV and WiFi, making it simple to round off the day with a film or a box set after dinner.

And with two well-behaved pets welcome, the whole crew can come along for the break.

Beyond the lodge, the holiday park offers plenty to get stuck into, try archery, paintballing, quad biking, axe throwing, segway safari, or clay pigeon shooting, and you’ll also find hiking and cycling routes nearby for days outdoors.

For outings, aim for Hexham, Corbridge, and Newcastle to mix market-town browsing, good food stops, and city-day energy.
