  We stayed for 3 nights in Magpie Cottage and it was brilliant.

  Cozy, comfy space, nicely decorated and well equipt. The washer & dryer is just a couple of doors along too if needed. Parking onsite is convenient and it was a lovely touch to have a local parking pass available to use as parking is free in the area if you display the pass. Paul and Jane were lovely hosts, super helpful and always available. It was a brilliant base to explore Northumberland with our pooch, we particularly loved the beaches at Blyth, Whitley Bay & Bamber. Duridge beach was also lovely when you get to it but the parking is on the verges on a small road. It was a small hassle though for the epically long beach and beautiful views. Duridge country park is also worth a visit. Morpeth was really nice too, lots of coffee shops, beautiful Carlisle Park and of course the fabulous Cheese Shop! All round great relaxing trip! The only reason we gave 2 slightly lower comments around facilities and accuracy of listing was just because the shop/pub was listed as 2.8 miles away and we thought we could walk to it and it may be helpful to note that this would be by car rather than walking (unless we missed a trick!) we would have loved to have taken the dog on a walk to the pub to stop for lunch and then walk back again but we could not find any paths to do that. This in no way hindered our experience or took away from the lovely cottage and it’s beautiful surroundings.

  A fabulous, relaxing family get-together that was enhanced by the many home comforts provided in this accommodation.

  The owner has thought of everything, so it's set up for a hassle-free stay. Thanks so much for that. We were very fortunate to have good weather for a late October stay, so were able to enjoy sitting outside on the decking, taking in the autumn colours and sounds while facing the pond. We thought this lodge was probably on the best part of the site, even though it was quite close to Reception. It was very quiet and well-spaced from other units, giving a reasonable degree of privacy. We already knew the area well, so finding our favourite eateries and pursuits was easy, as this place is great for both the coast and countryside in Northumberland. The only very minor disappointment was that the on-site pub/restaurant (a 15mins walk away), is only open on certain days at this time of the year. This wasn't an issue, though, because there are plenty of other excellent places to eat out a short drive away. We hope to return soon and highly recommend Oaks One to everyone. Angela October 2024

  On arrival at our accommodation we were delighted to find how well presented the property was, and how extremely well equipped it was, there was absolutely everything you needed.

  The heating was on and all the beds made up, these beds were amazingly comfortable, it was obvious a great deal of money had been spent on the quality of the mattresses, something overlooked in some holiday properties. The whole cabin oozed luxury, we felt very comfortable aand at home for the 4 days we were there. It was a lovely touch when we got a call from David the owner to ask if everything was ok and to recommend some places to visit and places to eat in the area, which was extremely helpful. Percy Woods is a beautifully kept site with nice walks within, and a lovely golf course nearby, a tennis court, playpark. The magic for us was that Swarland is one of the Dark Sky areas of the Northumberland National Park, and on the morning of our departure at 5am whilst out with the dog, we were rewarded with an amazing sky. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone, it is a credit to the owner. We hope to make another visit sometime soon.

  As a nurse going on a much needed break/rest with 2 colleagues, this was everything we needed.

  Oaks One was the best of the best. The Lodge was spotless, beautifully "laid out" with high quality fixtures and fittings. The Welcome pack was the best and most thoughtful one I've seen in nearly 40 years of taking self catering holidays with my own family. We'd brought our colleagues dog, even he got a Welcome pack too!! The enclosed verandah meant we and him were relaxing together. The location was idyllic, surrounded by well kept grounds and "nature" at your door. It was relaxing watching the birds, ducks and moorhens on the pond, and visiting toads and frogs in glorious sunshine from the verandah. Extra special was visiting Roe deer on a 05.30hr early rising!! The owner telephoned to check we were happy and to help with anything. He made us feel so welcome. We will be booking again, as soon as time and off-duties allow. Thankyou

  Cottage was immaculate and in a beautiful setting over looking the lake.

  Host had left a welcome pack, including a dog bag with a ball, this was a lovely touch. The only recommendation I would make is that the holiday park is huge and not well sign posted when you enter. It was extremely hard to find the cottage on the site and I had to ask in the on site pub for directions (which they weren’t even sure about). I appreciate this isn’t the host’s responsibility but the park itself could do with directional signage to the correct roads within. Thankfully I arrived in the day but it would have been virtually impossible to find in the dark. That said, we had a fabulous stay. The location is in a prime spot for exploring. I would imagine the site is very busy in the summer but I would definitely visit again at quieter times as that’s just my personal preference.
