The hotel is located on a sea of greenery, giving access to a beautiful walk along the Tyne at the end of the garden. The rooms come with excellent facilities, but there were some issues with the bathroom not working. The service was excellent, including a welcome drink. The dining experience, while included, was basic with only snacks available. Overall, a charming location with a few room maintenance issues.

The lodge sits right by the river offering a unique experience in a forest setting. The rooms are equipped with good facilities, although some issues in the bathroom can occur. The service includes a warm welcome drink, adding a nice touch to the stay. The location, away from the main pub in a separate lodge, provides a peaceful retreat but may not be ideal for those seeking direct pub access. Dining options include delicious pastries, a delightful treat. While the facilities are adequate, some improvements could enhance the overall experience. It offers good value for money considering the serene surroundings.
