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.
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 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.
