"This treehouse really is a unique find! Its super clean and minimal, but still has all the fun of glamping. The kitchen is well stocked and the pull-down bed plus stools are so comfy and easy to store away. We loved it!"

"Would've preferred a proper table over the breakfast bar setup."

"The scenery was truly lovely and the hot tub was perfect after a long day. However, arriving at 5pm in winter felt a bit late since it gets dark so early and the stony path from the parking isnt great if youre in a wheelchair. Still, we enjoyed it!"

"The lodge was stunning, really spacious and super well equipped. Cleanliness was top-notch too!"

"Our Calvert Kielder review: Cozy place, loved the vibe"

"The place was spotless, which we really appreciated. However, considering how spacious it is, there should be more USB sockets. We only had one plug charger and the rest were USBs. Bit of a pain not having enough spots to plug everything in, especially since we brought multiple devices. Overall, a lovely stay but needs better socket availability!"

"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, its even more stunning in person. The entrance gives a real wow moment, much better than the pictures suggest. We did have a couple of minor issues, like resetting the hot tub and turning off the underfloor heating, but everything was sorted smoothly via email instructions. The lodge is well-equipped and though most of the site was closed due to the time of year, we still loved it!"

"Really enjoyed our stay in Kielder Forest, the dark skies at night were absolutely stunning! Highly recommend."

"The hot tub was cold until the second evening, which was a bit disappointing given the price we paid for the lodge. Not ideal at all!"
Emma - Nov 2023
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge! It was super cosy and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for self-catering. The peaceful surroundings made it perfect for relaxing and the facilities were top-notch. We didnt try the restaurant, so cant say much about that. Overall, a lovely, quiet getaway wed recommend!"

"We stayed at The Bradbury recently and honestly, its a gorgeous place with lovely furniture and a really nice vibe. That said, there were quite a few annoyances. The kitchen was poorly stocked; no glasses or bowls for cereal or soup, which was frustrating. The main shower was broken from the start and they only replaced it right at the end of our stay-by then, wed already had to use the en-suite for showers, which isnt ideal in a place this pricey. Also, the hot tubs position meant you couldnt see much when lifting the cover, kinda disappointing overall but still a stylish spot."

"We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was fantastic and had everything we needed. Its super comfy and well set up. The only thing is, the park outside isnt great for little ones - quite small and limited. Also, it would be much safer if there was a gate on the decking to keep dogs and kids from wandering off towards the road. Still, a lovely place overall!"

"Really great experience overall"

"Well definitely visit again! Since its self-catered in the lodge, we made sure to bring our essentials. Coming from the south, we found that the Co-op in Bellingham is the best place for affordable food nearby-about nine miles from the lodge. The shop near the Boat Inn is a bit too expensive for us. Oh and Bellinghams bakery next to Co-op is lovely! Elf Kirk also offers some truly stunning views, really worth the trip."

"We really enjoyed our stay, it was just what we needed after a busy week. Sadly, we didnt get to see everything, so well definitely be returning to check out the rest. Thanks for a lovely experience, well be back!"
