Well presented cottage in beautiful setting.
A truly wonderful property with everything you’d need set in a quiet peaceful location that provided us with a perfect getaway and relaxing environment. It’s just outside a lovely village with some great walks from the front door. We would look forward to returning.
Lovely cottage, fantastic location
Excellent property - very well presented with everything you might need for a stay. Quiet position - but great location to discover the local countryside especially Hadrian's Wall. Very well stocked welcome hamper !! Easy walk to the local pub.
White Lodge was extremely well presented with everything needed for a home from home experience & the welcome pack was exceptional - thank you. Mr Braithwaite was a very welcoming host & we were very sad to not have been able to take up his invitation to have a tour of the castle - hopefully next time! Our thanks to all involved in the upkeep and maintenance of this delightful holiday property - we will be back.
everything great apart from the beds. The mattresses were awful. The springs were sticking up. They need new mattresses. But everything else, especially the tour of the castle was really great.
Lovely spacious cottage with a garden perfect for the dog. Very well equipped and with efficient heating. If one were being picky some of the saucepans had seen better days as had the loo seat. Not strictly the cottage but what a shame the village pub did not allow dogs.
excellent property one of the best we have stayed in over the years and we will be going back at some time in the future the owner was very friendly and gave us a tour of Haughton Castle which was great.
White lodge is in an excellent position, within easy walking to the local pub serving good food and the village shop for a loaf of bread, milk or newspaper.
We always return to rural retreats because we know that their service is excellent. White lodge did not disappoint us. The cottage was spotless, well equipped and very omfortable. The welcome hamper was excellent. the cottage is situated in beautiful and unspoilt countryside. We had a great week there.
We would probably not have booked this cottage had there been more warning in the brochure about the low ceilings upstairs. Seating in the sitting room was rather limited - the 2-seater sofa was fine, but the other 2 chairs were small and uncomfortable - they look different from what is in the brochure. That said, the cottage in general was lovely, including the garden. I have never stayed in an RR property where £5 was requested if I used more than the (meagre) initial supply of logs in the stove - it was August so not an issue, but at Lightpipe in the same county a massive pile of logs is provided for no extra money at all.
We have stayed here before. It's a very pleasant cottage, well equipped and clean with a pretty garden. Pub's walking distance, too...
Wonderful place to stay, exactly as described, clean and very well appointed with everything we needed.
The website does not do justice to this wonderful, peaceful holiday cottage. It is perfect for us and also convenient for accessing the wealth of culture and history in the area. Mr Braithwaite was welcoming and made us feel at home.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
