Lime Tree Lodge

A peaceful and enjoyable stay in a beautiful part of the world.

The house was very well kept and clean and the hosts were really welcoming, friendly and helpful. I would certainly stay here again.

Very pleasant and warm home for the week.

Wonderful views and within easy reach of some of Northumberland’s wonderful beaches. Would love to come back again.

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Lime Tree Lodge.

It was warm, cosy and well equipped set in a peaceful environment with outstanding views! The location is perfect for exploring the Northumberland coast and sites.

Fantastic lodge with everything we needed.

Really kind and helpful owners - please thank them for us.

We found the Lime Tree Lodge to be delightful.

Our stay was perfect. It was clean, comfy and set in a lovely location. The owner and her son could not be more friendly and helpful. If we needed anything we only had to ask. We were delighted with the very thoughtful welcome food goodies. Would not hesitate to return or recommend.

This property had everything we needed.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Diane, who personally showed us around the lodge. There was a 'welcome pack' which we appreciated after a long journey. The fixtures, fittings and furniture are of high quality and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. The location is superb, with views across the surrounding countryside - and with a lovely garden outside for us to enjoy. The lodge and grounds were well maintained - and with plenty of places of interest to visit nearby. Of particular note was a very comprehensive 'information pack' with places of interest, places to eat and importantly contacts for emergency services, eg Doctors, Dentists etc.- We would definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Lovely property, clean and tidy.

Would recommend it to anyone

A real home from home, warm, comfortable and well kept.

Beautiful quiet area, good for walking and some excellent fishing. Our hostess was a delight and welcomed us to Lime Tree Lodge. Have now booked for next year .

We had an absolutely lovely time at LimeTree Lodge.

It is an extremely comfortable and clean property and the owner left us a surprise selection of goodies on arrival, which was very generous. Thank you! It is set in very peaceful surroundings but not far from attractions in the area such as Alnwick, Warkworth ( lovely village with castle ) and NT Cragside. I was a little nervous bringing my elderly mother but there is a downstairs bedroom and bathroom with shower seat that was perfect for her. I would definitely book again, highly recommended

We had a lovely time at Lime Tree Lodge.

Quiet, peaceful with good facilities. Despite the terrible weather our 2 children (aged 6 and 8) had a brilliant time exploring the surrounding area. After long days it was great to come back to the comfort of the lodge. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful and well presented Perfect in everything that you would expect.

Great area to explore Northumberland. Quiet and picturesque. Thankyou for everything.

Wonderful quiet/peaceful location.

Ideal place to relax and enjoy the gorgeous countryside and coastline. The lodge is superb and would highly recommend. Well equipped and high standards of cleanliness. Our host were friendly and helpful and ensured that we had everything we needed. A perfect stay.

Wonderful lodge, very well equipped and beautifully clean.

Welcome pack was great and totally unexpected. Owners were very helpful and friendly and went the extra mile to make our stay perfect.

Brilliant, comfortable, clean.

Lady owner nice and friendly. Lovely welcome pack. Well kitted out and water was always hot. Will be going again.

Our daughter and family stayed in this lodge and therefore I can only repeat my comments for Apple Tree, which we stayed in.

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. Other than that it was a really nice break, the lodges lovely and setting wonderful.

A perfect lodge to stay in.

Family of the lodge were very welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was ok. We have two young boys who found the outside space amazing and with all the wildlife who visited throughout the day they thought it was fantastic. Lodge was spotless, comfortable and very clean. Perfect for a peaceful, relaxing and stress free break.

Lovely lodge in a beautiful location, very quiet and peaceful.

Lodge was spotless when we arrived with lovely food gifts waiting for us. We felt at home straight away and really enjoyed our stay.

The lodge was situated on a working farm in an ideal situation.

The location, views, quietness and general ambiance could not be faulted. However, the lodge itself left a lot to be desired. Although we spoke on the phone ONCE with the owner, at no time did she bother to walk across the road to made sure all was well. Issues that need to be noted are - 1. the sofas are dirty and old fashioned. 2. the tv is very old and too far away from the sofas to view. We had to move the furniture each evening. 3. the fridge was TOTALLY inadequate for 6 people. 4. the kitchen waste bin was small and there were no additional bin liners provided. 5. the kitchen utensils were a hotchpotch of miscellaneous items. 6. although there was a washing machine, there was no facility to dry washing. 7. the wooden bench outside was old and in need of a make over. There was also no sun umbrella for our use or cushions provided. 8. the cleaning ladies arrived on Saturday morning at 09.30 promptly and clearly had no interest in whether we had enjoyed our holiday. They did not even acknowledge our presence. I wonder if Mrs. Proctor actually checks the properties when they have finished. 9. Having enjoyed 3 holidays with Sykes Holiday Cottages, we feel that this property lets your company down and someone needs to visit the properties to check on the accuracy of what is being offered, particularly having paid a premium price for the rental. 10. we noted in the property handbook that dogs were welcome if well behaved! We had booked pet free accommodation as our son has an allergy to dog hair. 11. We would be more than happy to discuss these issues on the telephone.

Lime Tree Lodge is a fantastic place to stay in an idyllic country setting, very well equipped, kitchenwise and toiletries in each bathroom, excellent for small children with top and bottom stair gates.

Owners very friendly and provided a substantial welcome pack on arrival, thank you. Have no hesitation in recommending lodge.

Lovely lodge, fantastic location.

All very comfortable, clean and welcoming

Would have really appreciated fans it was very hot in the bedrooms.

Also , an extra rubbish bag would have helped. Putting the recycling out was a pain having to move the rubbish bin out to get to the recycling bin. If It had 2 opening doors on the shed it would be much easier. Beautiful setting and lovely people.

Lime Tree Lodge was a well equipped and comfortable property.

Perfectly placed for exploring both coastal and inland areas of Northumberland. You can even (just!) see the sea from upstairs. Would definitely recommend to others, and would return ourselves.

Mrs Proctor was lovely and made us feel very welcome, the lodge was beautiful and we were very happy with the super standard of the holiday property.

We loved staying at Lime Tree Cottage.

A charming wood cottage in a beautiful countryside. A perfect retreat! We would book it again!

directions from the south are no longer accurate as there is no direct access to Old Swarland from the A1.

Lime tree lodge is perfect in every way but one, could not get on line.

I download the Mail every day at home. Everything else was great, Diane is a lovely owner so pleasant and welcoming. Would go again if internet is available.

Lime tree lodge was superb.

And more. The Proctors looked after anything we needed right away. Checked to see if everything was fine. A wonderful family. The countryside around the lodge was spectacular. Absolutely highly recommend this vacation lodge. The lodge was well looked after, comfortable and for 4 adults and 2 children lots of room. The outside play area great for young children. A beautiful setting. We could not have had a more pleasant and comfortable stay. Easy access to Alnwick and Northumberland’s amazing beaches. All just minutes away.

Stunning location.

Family who owned the lodges were amazing and so friendly. We will definitely be back.

Quite simply the BEST holiday cottage I've ever stayed at.

Warm. Comfortable. The whole place was kitted out to a really high standard. The owners were warm and welcoming. Couldn't be happier with our experience. Exceptional

Wonderful holiday property 10/10 in every way.

On arrival what struck me first were the far reaching views across the Northumberland countryside and on entrance I knew I'd chosen a fab holiday property. The lodge itself was warm and comfortable and presented to a high standard. Mrs Proctor has been in the hospitality trade for many years oozing warmth and a bubbly welcome. We do not hesitate to recommend this holiday property and can't wait to return.

Holiday was very enjoyable with plenty to see and do in the area we chose.

Accommodation was very good.

This was the perfect place to explore Northumbria.

Our hosts Mr and Mrs Proctor did everything to make us comfortable, I highly recommend the cottage and the hosts Jackie Cook

The owners were friendly and helpful.

Stair gates were most welcome with a 2 year old. Excellent location for touring the whole of Northumberland, especially the coast. Loads of nice places to eat at reasonable prices. Beaches were clean and parking cheap.

A lovely clean, well equipped cottage in an ideal location to tour the major sites of Northumberland.

Would recommend without hesitation.

We had a wonderful stay at Lime Tree Lodge.

The lodge was really well set up for our party of 2 adults and 3 children. It is in a lovely rural setting and well located for the attractions of Northumberland. Dianne and Arthur are perfect hosts. The welcome pack, including home made bread, wine and Easter eggs was a lovely surprise. We stayed during lambing season and Arthur took time out of his hectic schedule to show the children how to feed the orphan lambs - it was the highlight of our trip.

An excellent base for a family holiday in Northumberland.

Easy reach of the coast and beaches, plus inland to National Trust and places like the beautiful Alnwick Gardens and castle. We had a warm welcome on arrival with a few tasty treats to get us going and help was available throughout our stay. Accommodation is ideal with three great sized bedrooms and three bathrooms. Safe and secure play area in sight of the property and of course there’s the farm to explore along the footpaths. We were lucky to be there as lambing was taking place. At nights you are surrounded by quiet - refreshing to hear only the sounds of nature and not of traffic. All in all most highly recommended.

A lovely cottage in a wonderful location.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We would like to return if we visit the area again.

Location was perfect, weather was perfect, Lime Tree Lodge was perfect

Wonderful if you want a quiet break in the country.

We had a lovely relaxing time in this clean ,comfortable lodge .

A brilliant location for exploring or just chilling out . Thank you .

This was a lovely lodge, very well presented in a beautifully peaceful location.

The owners are so pleasant and the welcome pack was excellent. We would love to go again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lodge.

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.

Lovely people and very clean and warm.

Ideal for our party of two couples.

A wonderful place to stay.

Looking forward to revisiting next year

superb location.

Mr and Mrs proctor were lovely people and mr proctor who is a farmer showed our granddaughter 2yrs the sheep and cows and was happy to talk about the farm.The welcome pack provided by mrs proctor was a really nice touch.The lodge itself was lovely and warm and spacious.,one of the nicest properties we have stayed in.Northumberland is such a wonderful county with fantastic beaches.Lots to see and do.. we cant wait to go back again.. thank you sykes holdays.
