Apple Tree Lodge

Sometimes when you book these stays it’s a bit hit and miss if the pictures are accurate.

This was such a lucky find. So nice and peaceful.Mrs Proctor was so welcoming and accommodating. Had all the amenities we needed. Close enough to all the beaches and castles and a lovely cafe down the Road called Nelson’s. I will definitely be back here soon.

Lovely property with extremely welcoming owners.

Welcome pack provided with good variety of helpful items. Clear instructions for the wi-fi, for those that wish to use it. Clear instructions on what is requested from guests upon departure. (Inaccurate listing within the Sykes property details - tea towels were provided). Overall a very comfortable property in a quiet location, with a lovely view. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic facilities in a lovely peaceful setting.

Came up for a golfing holiday, very lucky to have had great weather all week. Hopefully see you again

Beautiful Lodge, in the peaceful Northumberland countryside, with easy access to the A1.

The kitchen was well equipped and the owner left an amazing welcome pack. Bedrooms were large with comfortable beds.

Beautiful lodge in a lovely setting, so quiet and peaceful.

The lodge was beautifully clean and had all the facilities and extra items to make it home from home. The owner, Mrs Proctor, is really friendly and approachable if you should need any information or assistance. The ‘welcome pack’ of provisions was a lovely thought and very much appreciated.

Apple tree lodge was a very well equipped and comfortable accommodation for our family in beautiful surroundings

Lovely stay in a wonderful setting.

Very large lodge and peaceful and quiet. Fantastic views and great location. Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome.

Apple Tree Lodge was perfect for our multi-generational needs.

The consistent internal temperatures were unaffected by the fluctuating outside temperatures that occur in late autumn. Everything worked fine as we were able to access the instruction manuals. We loved the quietness, the amazing thick curtains, the dark skies, and the views. We all slept like logs. Thank you too for the thoughtful complimentary items, they were well received. We loved our stay so much the consensus was we would have liked to bring the lodge home with us.

lovely property and hosts !

Ideally situated for visiting coast and sights will definitley be returning.

Very relaxing hoilday , excellent accommodation would say you definitely need your own transport.

Good area to explore overall excellent big thankyou to owners .

Everything about this property was excellent The owners Mr and Mrs Proctor and their son Andrew could not do enough for us to make our stay more memorable The welcome pack on our arrival was such a nice thought Three generations of our family stayed the week and we all throughly enjoyed it especially the tour round the farm.

The family plan is definitely to go back again!

An excellent stay in Apple Tree Lodge.

Everything about the lodge is very good, facilities, cleanliness and location. Extremely helpful owners and a lovely welcome pack. We all loved our stay and will be back to further explore this beautiful area. Thank you

This is a lovely lodge in a beautiful position.

The owners left a super welcome pack with all the essentials needed and treats too This part of Northumberland is such a beautiful, historic and interesting area and will need to return to experience it all Hope to return

We had a really lovely week in Apple tree lodge, very comfortable, clean and welcoming (very nice welcoming goodie pack, thank you).

The owners were very friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage. We even had deer and pheasants in the garden.

Lovely quiet and warm place for a family get together.

Diane was ever so helpful and the welcome items were a delight. Handy for all of Northumberland and a place we would gladly return to.

Lodge exceeded our expectations, excellent in every respect!

Extra welcome package was delicious. Lovely owners and accommodation and great location for exploring Northumberland. The coast is a hidden gem and we particularly enjoyed Northumberland Zoo, Nelson’s in the Park, Alnwick Gardens, Northumberland Arms etc etc! We will be back. Thank you to our hosts!

Apple Tree Lodge, such a beautiful place to stay in.

The owners are so friendly, really nice people, nothing is too much trouble, they go out of their way for you. The lodge, wow, stunning. So clean, decorated to the highest standards and the furnishings are of the same quality. Views are beautiful with lovely garden area. Patio with outside table and chairs plus a BBQ. Book yourselves in, you will not be disappointed. Andrew Scott

Very clean and comfortable lodge.

Nice welcome pack. Lovely and quiet with good countryside views.

Wonderful!

Lovely and peaceful surroundings. Luxurious property, very well equipped and very clean. For those who can't cope with stairs, the downstairs bedroom & ensuite are perfect and with a wonderful shower. The owners are very warm, friendly & approachable and extremely helpful. If we ever holiday in that area again we would have no hesitation in booking again.

Absolutely beautiful Lodge in beautiful surroundings.

Owners very generous, answered any questions made them selves available if needed and left a lovely welcome pack. The lodge is a good point to explore Northumberland , so quiet and beautiful night sky's. The lodge itself is very well equipped we didn't want for anything. Will definatley return to Appletree Lodge .

A comfortable lodge which is perfectly located for seeing Northumberland’s many attractions.

Welcoming and friendly hosts. Highly recommend

Extremely clean and comfortable.

Great location to easily get about by car to local attractions and the local shop. Slept amazing! Very comfortable beds and fantastic water pressure in the shower. Would highly recommend.

We booked this cottage as my older Uncle and Aunt wanted to see Northumberland and it is ideally placed to visit many locations.

What a great find. The lodge was perfect. Can easily sleep 6 adults and has 2 shower rooms and a bathroom. So comfortable and well equipped. Dianne is an absolute darling and ensures everything is as she would want it. Unlike many self catered properties she supplied us with milk, bacon, orange juice, fruit bread, tea and coffee along with the more practical tea towels, cloths, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. Wifi was good too so no worries if your phone signal isn't great in that area. To top it off we had the most gorgeous pair of twin lambs to entertain us each day. The 4 of them escaped their Mum's a few times and played in front of the lodge. Dianne also sent her husband over to dig me some wild garlic for my garden. They honestly couldn't do enough for us. Would highly recommend and hope to go back.

Apple Tree Lodge was very comfortable in all ways and excellently fitted out with everything that you would need for an enjoyable stay, particularly in the kitchen where there is ample cutlery, crockery and utensils.

Nothing is worse than having to run the dishwasher every day. There is more than enough outdoor space for pets to run free, especially, I imagine in the summer months, are stay was over Christmas. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful stay in a well-positioned lodge.

Clean, modern, quiet and stress-free stay well within reach of the coastal towns nearby. Welcome pack on arrival with plenty of goodies. Highly recommended

Wow what a place!

! We have just returned from the best week at Apple Tree Lodge. The lodge is in a perfect, central location to visit the beaches and castles northumberland has to offer. The lodge has a huge garden, fabulous for the kids to play on! Inside it is spacious, clean and homely. We arrived to bacon, sausage, eggs, bread, milk and wine which was a lovely, thoughtful touch. We were lucky to stay next to a family who had been visiting the lodges for 9 years in a row who gave us some great recommendations to visit in the area. A great place to visit with the family.

Lovely peaceful setting.

Loads of space for the children to run around. The removal of the play area a few weeks before arrival was a disappointment for the grandchildren and one reason for booking. Noise was a bit of a surprise due to the hard floors and presumably lack of sound insulation in the floors. You could hear every footstep and snoring from above. The shower sounded like a monsoon. One bin bag for a group of 6 for a week obviously not adequate. Other than that it was a really nice break, the lodges lovely and setting wonderful.

The property is in a beautiful location away from any hustle and bustle but is in a great location for exploring Northumberland.

We had a fantastic family holiday. The facilities are simply perfect.

Lovely property in a beautiful location, very well equipped.

The owners are nearby and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week at Apple Tree Lodge.

Wonderful surroundings and a great base for exploring Northumberland. The lodge was spotless and the owners were very friendly. The farmer let our children feed the lambs with milk which they loved! If you’re looking for a beautiful and peaceful stay not too far from amenities then Apple Tree Lodge is perfect!

An outstanding property in a relaxing and immaculate farm setting and a wonderful area with so much to see and do.

Lovely welcoming friendly owners. We would highly recommend this property to anyone thinking about getaway in this area.

Beautiful location and totally relaxed week.

We booked this lodge last minute for a few days break.

The lodge was perfect. The owner, Mrs Proctor had done everything to make our stay comfortable and safe with the added touch of milk, tinned biscuits, wine and cake. The lodge is close to places to visit and a lovely pub in Felton. Lots of walks to go on. We will certainly be going back. Thank you

The cottage and location were excellent,very clean and tidy and everything worked as it should do.

(Apart from the lock in the main bathroom which had to have a good slam to make it shut).l know l should have mentioned it to Mrs Proctor but we didn't get the opportunity. Other than that everything else was great and we look forward to going back next year.

There are so many things to love about this property.

Spotlessly clean with crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, top quality furnishings and every home comfort thought of such as fresh milk, wine and a fruit cake awaiting when we arrived. Friendly helpful owners, and what a setting - the really well kept grounds perfect for sitting out on the decking and peacefully enjoying the Northumberland countryside.

Our arrival at Apple Tree Lodge couldn't have been nicer.

The Procters were very friendly and the welcome pack was lovely. The accommodation and grounds were immaculate and stunning. Absolutley all our needs and more were catered for, you truly have thought of everything. Thank you so much for our stay there we would highly recommend it!!

Apple tree cottage is a luxurious lodge with loads of space, great finishings and a super garden to enjoy.

It is peaceful and the very thoughtful extras which were included, such as homemade bread, wine and biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch. We had a very relaxing stay with everything we could have hoped for in a self- catering lodge and much more! We would definitely recommend it and would very happily stay there again if we are back in that area.

Lovely lodge with better than expected furnishings etc.

My grandchildren really enjoyed the small play area.

Apple Tree Lodge is a very clean and well appointed pine lodge in the grounds of Old Swarland Hall.

We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Mrs Proctor, who had left us wine, biscuits and freshly made bread. All in all a well a beautiful place to enjoy what the area has to offer. We had originally booked different accommodation but was told by Sykes, in November, that it was not available due to scheduled maintenance issues. This seemed odd as you would think any issues would be sorted through the winter months rather than in mid to high season. When we visited the site of the original accommodation, there were no signs of maintenance anywhere. What actually happened I do not know but we were very happy with our second choice and would certainly book it again.

The cottage was really well presented, very clean and comprehensively equipped.

The weather during the first full week of May was cold and wet - just as well then that the cottage was so good. Mr and Mrs Proctor were really friendly and helpful - we would recommend this property without a second thought. Thank you.

Ideal situation for the sites of Northumberland.

In lovely countryside but close to the coast. Very helpful and friendly hosts.

The Lodge was exactly as described and included a lovely welcome pack.

The owners were extreemly welcoming ,friendly and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful. Several gastro pubs nearby and all but one welcomed our dog. Fantastic beaches nearby and lots to do.

This is a lovely, spacious family holiday house.

We were there for Christmas and the welcome pack and Christmas decorations were much appreciated. The only criticisms would be the excessive number of scatter cushions in every room and the artificial plants - all of which had to be moved out of the way during our stay. The other thing that caused us some discomfort was the very small television high up on the wall in the corner of the room - not good!

Apart from our visits to Alnwick Castle and gardens, seeing the Puffins on the Inner Farne, and visiting the best pound for pound attraction I have been to in many years at Beamish, the apart but was Mrs Proctor the owner.

She was the icing on the cake for us. Always a smile and nothing too much trouble for her. The property was spotlessly clean, well furnished and with all facilities. The property is ideally situated as a base to visit the many attractions in Northumberland. Staying at Apple Lodge is a pleasure, you could do a lot worse but it would be very difficult to do any better.

Lovely lodge, clean, excellent facilities.

Great location to visit the area. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Thoroughly recommend.

very nice welcoming owner who was there if needed but not intrusive in any way.

IDDYLIC location convenient for beaches and ALNWICK CASTLE and CRAGSIDE

The cottage worked brilliantly for my elderly mother with limited movement

Really enjoyable stay at the lodge over new year.

Christmas decorations and welcome treats a really nice touch. Very quiet and peaceful location close to the coast and woodland walks with the dog. Kids loved the outside play area.

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.

Owners were most helpful, and the accommodation was excellent in every way.
