Staying at moonlight lodge in park peaceful lovely relaxing break go home on Tuesday morning lodge spotless clean welcome pack on arrival just perfect park ground s clean tidy loving break and relaxing 

We're about to leave Olives Place after 3 nights here. I have to say from start to finish what an amazing place this is.  I highly recommend staying here. We were greeted by a welcome pack comprising bottle of prosecco, bar of chocolate and large packet of crisps. I thought this was a lovely touch by the owners. The kitchen is very well equipped with good quality cooking implements. It is decorated very tastefully with lots of throws to cuddle up into whilst relaxing on the sofa or outside on the large verandah had the weather been less rainy. The hot tub was to die for. We have 2 small dogs who loved being here too. There is a short walk on the site for dogs on leads. There are a number of other places to drive to if you want to let them have a long off lead run.
This vacation has been just what was needed after a stressful time. We leave feeling totally recharged and relaxed. Thankyou so much for giving us such a lovely time. We will definitely be back.

Great  location the lodge was lovely good size for 2 children and 4 adults we had a great time would definitely come back.A big shout out for the time out tavern staff were lovely Jeff and Jay made us very welcome and also Donna and Andrew can't thank them all enough couldn't do enough to make us welcome .

We’ve just got home from the most amazing and relaxing place, just what we needed to start the half term holiday. 
Welcome basket was fab with all the info you need for your stay. It was so clean and tidy and all the extra little touches (like blankets for sitting outside, TV with Netflix and all the necessities you need) made the visit one to remember. 
The hot tub was absolutely great too, so relaxing and a wonderful, tranquil view of the countryside. 
We will definitely be returning to Olives Place, it is one of the best places we’ve stayed, we would highly recommend it. Thanks for making our stay so memorable

Just spent a couple of nights here celebrating a belated birthday,at Kelly’s lodge really enjoyed our stay the lodge was spotless.Loved all the little extras you get and the hot tub was brilliant would highly recommend Kelly’s lodge who wants a peaceful and quiet time 👍

Myself and five of my female friends seized a rare opportunity for a weekend away - We booked Moonlight Ridge at the Brockenfield County Park  via booking.com, firstly let me say this place is worth its weight in gold. It is the most beautiful environment with a river at the bottom of the decking - the hot tub was well maintained and looked after. It was extremely spacious and modern, the facilities catered for all of our needs. It was a very stormy weekend while we were there and even snowed whilst we were in the hot tub. We did not see a soul the entire time we were there - we had music on, fairy lights decorating the house - absolute perfection. We will no doubt return here over and over again.

Just back from a lovely Xmas at bockenfield. We stayed in bluebell Lodge which was immaculate. The lodge was well equipped and had everything we needed. This is the 3rd time we've stayed at bockenfield. First 2 times we stayed in sunflower Lodge which was also amazing. The on site bar is small but cozy and everyone's really friendly on site. Already booked up for next Xmas and can't wait.

Came and stopped in bock Retreat for 2 nights for our 1st anniversary was lovely accommodation guys who we rented off were great bar on site was small but great staff. There was a play park on site and seemed like a really nice friendly site. Off main road so nothing around but that didn't bother us as we drove to Alnwick for day and just wanted a chill.

We’ve just returned from Marie’s Lodge and have to say it was a wonderful holiday. The park is located in an ideal position for visiting beautiful Northumberland. The site is very quiet but we liked that. The park is great for the kids and was well maintained with daily cleans. I would recommend a bit of forward planning - I ordered an ASDA delivery and this meant we weren’t relying on finding a local shop. Marie’s Lodge was immaculate and had everything we needed.

Came here for anniversary weekend. Booked through booking.com and we booked to stay at bock Retreat. Day before received email to let know how to get keys. Arrived on to site nice and quiet there's a play park and a small bar that sells drinks and food. Staff in there lovely and down to earth. Went to our lodge which was one near the back of the park lovely and spacious. Came with everything needed to tea and coffee. Was very clean hot tub was fab could not fault the place. It's just off a19 so nothing about whick for us was fine as we spent day in Alnwick first day then went to pub near by Northumberland Arms and had a walk about. Would 100% recommend for couples or for family get away.

Holiday

Olives Place, Bockenfield Country Park

We stayed in Mildreds Lodge, Number 39 for 3 nights over bank holiday weekend gone comprising of 5 adults and 1 child.

 

Location wise it is situated just of the A1 however that said it is incredibly quiet and peaceful and we heard no nearby traffic. It is a great base to explore nearby places and you are a short drive from both Morpeth and Alnwick meaning you have lots of options available to yourself. There are also a few takeaways that deliver direct. There is a park on site to amuse children which is of a good size.

 

The lodge is within walking distance of two pubs/restaurants. The Time Out Tavern situated on Bockenfield Country Park which serves food and drink and offers regular entertainment including bingo, quiz, karaoke and play your cards right. It also sells numerous household items like toilet roll, toothpaste in the event you have forget anything and the Crazy Saloon which is located on the next park over which is Felmoor. In comparison it is a lot larger and likewise offers food and drink and has a games area downstairs consisting of darts, pool, air hockey, foosball etc. There is also a tourist information section with leaflets and information regarding lots of local places to visit.

 

The lodge we were staying in consisted of three bedrooms, one double with an ensuite and two singles  meaning it slept 6 and there was a pull out for the living room which will fit another person if necessary together with a separate bathroom, hot tub and decking area with bbq, chairs and table. There is also lots of grass surrounding the back of the lodge.  We found it very clean however there were a fair few areas in need of some TLC. There were several marks/stains on the carpets, walls which had a fair few marks which could do with a repaint and the fridge was very creeky and noisy and needs attended too. The kitchen had everything you need such as pans, cutlery, plates, bowels, kettle, microwave, table mats etc. We found on occasions there was insufficient glass ware available.

 

On arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and box of chocolates which we found a nice touch. Generally speaking in the days running up to our visit we found our host to not be the most responsive which we considered a huge shame as we loved the lodge and surrounding area but the communication aspect really let the place down.

 

I enquired as much as 5 days in advance whether check in before the usual time of 3 was permitted. I received a response the day of arrival at 7pm saying it was fine. By this point we were already there. Similarly a day prior to check in I was told towels came at additional cost. I enquired twice as the price and still no reply. Good job we took some with us. We were told toilet roll was included however were given 2 toilet rolls between 6 people for 3 days which is not at all sufficient. We had no issue at all supplying our own but it would have been nice if the host was more clear of the situation. Wifi is payable which again we had no problem with and costs £10 for the stay however our host only made us aware of this a day prior with less than 24 hours’ notice together with the payment details and stated if not paid in advance it couldn’t be sorted on arrival. Honestly I think all the above should have been brought to the guests attention a lot sooner than a day prior, it all seemed very last minute. I found it odd though that it was stated you have to pay for wifi as on arrival there was a wifi box with the password on it meaning even if you didn’t pay the box would be there, unless the host would physically remove the box.

 

There are very strict rules regarding the hot tub. For example the park observes quiet hours between 9am-8am meaning the hot tub cant be used between these hours. This was fine for us as it is a family stay however again this should be made clear in advance as groups of friends etc are likely to go to use the hot tub solely as it is the main reason for their stay. Similarly there were signs stating you can only use it for a certain period of time with a break of over an hour in between which seemed rather excessive. There are also strict rules regarding the use of music.

 

All in all we had a wonderful stay. The lodge was in a beautiful area and so peaceful and relaxing however we didn’t find our host the most responsive or helpful and found a lot of the information very last minute. That said we loved the area and would definitely return to the park however probably look for a different lodge.

 

 

Peaceful and relaxing

Found this to be a really nice park, easy check in, lovely on site staff, nice  play park for the children too. Moonlight lodge was where we stayed which was clean and had everything we could ask, hot tub was smashing, and was checked daily, great weather topped our stay off, nice little bar on site too 😊

Lovely 4 day stay 

4 day break 

Belated birthday

The park itself is canny,caravan/ Lodge is clean and adequate. Fine for a family of 4.
Hot tub is not as private as I'd like but that's just personal preference. 
Lovely seating area on the balcony
Park is good for little ones but no zip wire.
Unfortunately they are building just opposite our lodge and right beside the play park.
Really dangerous for younger kids and so noisy-im no expert in health and safety but even I can see its an accident waiting to happen
Tried to ignore it the first couple of days but its hard to relax when you can hear it 9am

Normally it wouldn't matter so much as we would be out all day but I've just been in hospital for Two weeks so was looking forward to sitting on the balcony with a book.

Got the videos but won't let me upload them for some reason

Construction Site

Booked a 4 night break at the above lodge . On entering the property we noticed how dirty and dusty the lodge was .Kitchen units full of dust, skirting boards full of dust, extractor fans full of dust , under the two couches full of dust. Bathroom toilet brush disgusting. We contacted the owner and she did come out to inspect the property and agreed it wasn’t up to her standards and offered to clean the property straight away. 
Overall the lodge was good with the hot tub but needs updating inside the lodge . The park was excellent with the two bars/pubs . 

We would go again but only if the cost of the lodge is reasonable priced

42 Burnside Lodge

We stayed at Brackenrigg Lodge for three nights with a late booking.

The park is on the A1 but this lodge is far enough away you hear nothing. The park was very quiet and this lodge looks onto a small river/stream. Very peaceful and very private with the hot tub at the rear on a raised decking.

The lodge is well equipped with a bean bag that the kids loved. Decent sized tv that had Netflix on it but we found it lost its internet signal about 7pm..maybe other lodges logging on then and causing buffering?

No wifi code for general use either with contradictory info online. Wasn’t an issue tho as we wanted an escape!!

Beds were ok and the place comfortable enough.

My only criticisms were the individual lodge wasn’t as clean as it could be with stour on the ceiling and the floor not swept.  Also there was a wood burning stove but we weren’t aware we needed kindling which was easily solved to be fair.

This lodge has a decked area to the side which isn’t finished yet. Private car park space.

Communication with the owner fantastic throughout and had we any issue I’m sure theyd have resolved quickly.
