Excellent lodge, well located in a beautiful village, close to beautiful coast and countryside

Home from Home-everything we needed and more. Christine and her team have thought of everything and with extra little touches-extra cutlery, crockery, vast variety of cooking utensils and more. Midwood Lodge was so comfortable and clean and lovely surprise greeted with a welcoming gift. Really appreciated the information on variety of ideas on what to see and do locally and further afield especially as first visit to Northumberland, this was also so well communicated prior to holiday. A week was not long enough, so much to see and do, amazing castles, beautiful coastline and countryside, friendly, welcoming people-we will be returning, and certainly would stay again at Midwood Lodge

A real home from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Midwood lodge ... our only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay for longer. The lodge is so well located, spacious and very well equipped. Perfect for a family stay with the tree house and toys provided. Christine and Louise were so welcoming and friendly, the whole process of booking etc was very easy.

10/10 Excellent

About the host

Hosted by Christine Storey

The Storey family love sharing the property with guests and try to make it a home from home. We always leave a lovely welcome pack for guests to enjoy and provide tea and coffee and homemade cakes. ( And a bit of alcohol ).
We have wonderful memories of seeing our children grow up and have fabulous photographs of children playing football on the beach and beautiful village scenes through the seasons.
And the garden often has colourful visitors.

Why they chose this property

We love the village of Alnmouth and the privacy that this property gives with lots of outdoor space and parking which is rare in the village. The huge garden is such a pleasure as we live close to the city, which have much smaller gardens.
The tree house is wonderful for children to play in. We have a big shed which guests can use for storing bikes and walking gear.

What makes this property unique

It is lovely for families as it is all on one level and we have lots of awards including:
Families Welcome, Walkers Welcome, Cyclists Welcome
We have awards for family friendly, with indoor and outdoor games. We also have our own Tarzan swing in the garden as well as a wonderful tree house.
We are very proud to announce that we won the "Hidden Gem" Northeast, award for 2018.
