Cowslip Reviews

Lovely property , feels airy and spacious . Location is very good with some decent walks from the doorstep . I would recommend staying here .

We had a lovely time staying at Cowslip over the New Year. The location was great and only a short drive in to Bamburgh! The house was well equipped and had everything we needed! We had an issue with the shower while we were there and Rachel sorted this out within a few hours even though it was New Years Eve! Thank you again, we would defo recommend staying at Cowslip.

What a fantastic place ! It certainly has the wow factor. We spent Christmas here and had the best time as a family. The place was very clean, the beds were so comfy and it made our Christmas very special. The owner came around to check that everything ok and they had also left us some nice little gifts. We took our dog and although there isnt a fenced off area for you to let them off, it was fine we just put a lead on him when he went out to do his business and then went on some amazing beach walks. Very near the beautiful Bamburgh where we visited the castle, I suppose it would be around a 20 min walk, but not really walkable at night as it is pitch black ! The views from the lodge were beautiful and you can see the castle. I literally think that the only thing that could find wrong was that there was no measuring jug

Lauren

Wonderful stay, the house is absolutely beautiful with the most incredible views. Our little boy loved the bunk beds as well.

Lovely stay at this property. Wonderful location and the property felt very dog friendly. Will definitely return and will recommend to others .

Amanda

The only issue I had with the property, the outside furniture could do with a wipe over and get rid of the cobwebs on the outside furniture. Other than that had a lovely stay, very quiet location and weather was fab.

The accommodation is perfectly fine, and as listed, however I don't think the price with such a late checkin and early checkout is justifiable. For a weekend stay it equates to 20hr, which I'd expect in the centre of Bamburgh, but not 2 miles away!

Andrea

I have stayed in different lodges at Brada Quarry previously, the location & the spec of the lodges are amazing. I have to say we were a little disappointed that the log burning stove has been removed at Cowslip for a terrible looking electrical one which didnt work, the pictures need to be updated regarding this.

Rebecca

Absolutely gorgeous setting with a view to the castle. Overall we were really delighted with the lodge however there were a few niggles which others have picked up on in other reviews but don't look like they've been addressed. It's a great size overall but the beds don't appear to be king size as advertised, one of the bunks mattresses was truly awful you could feel every single spring, some of the towels were stained, lack of hanging storage in the bunk room and main bedroom, the long handle sweeping brush needs replaced, it was damaged and you could easily cut yourself on it, the welcome guide mentioned using coasters but there were none, and the outdoor seating cushions were stained. I think if you're paying a couple of thousand for a weeks holiday in a luxury lodge there shouldn't be anything to pick up on. Having said that though we did have a lovely stay, I only mention the above as they ought to be addressed.

Its a lovely place to stay with a very relaxed feel and stunning views. Would love to stay again.

Joanna

The lodge was filthy, including the linen, towels and scatter cushions some of which are actually on the beds. The floor was dirty, and left the soles of feetsocks black. There are lot of cobwebs in the high ceilings. I had to clean the kitchen worktops before use as they were covered in a white substance. Some of the pans in the cupboard were also dirty. The windows are so dirty it's difficult to appreciate the views through them. There is also mould in the bathrooms. This is in addition to the unacceptable level of dust and grime found pretty much everywhere else. Added to this is the general state of repair of the lodge. The paintwork is very noticeably chippedscuffeddirty in all rooms. Some windows didn't open. The longer curtains were stainedmouldy at the bottom. Unfortunately there are no cup coasters, so trying to protect furniture is difficult, despite the strict instructions in the file. There was no welcome pack, in fact there wasn't even a single toilet roll in the whole lodge, but thankfully we had the foresight to bring some. We also had to find the black bin which had been abandoned at the other side of the park. The previous occupants appear to have used the recycling bin for general waste as a result. To say we are disappointed, especially with the price paid is an understatement. I contacted the owner with the issues and photographic evidence, and requested some form of compensation for the time and effort it took to clean the lodge and launder the towelslinen. As you can imagine this was met with silence. Spend your money elsewhere. Holiday ruined.

Charles

Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to illness but the venue istop class, we will return later in year without doubt. suggestions exchange tall drawers in large bedroom for small wardrobe, fit a unit in shower room to hold soaps etc. food basket and wine was a very nice touch. thank you

A truly wonderful property in the midst of the most beautiful back drop, sheep and cows grazing with the majestic Bamburgh Castle in the distance. We did not want to leave and do hope to be back!

Melanie

Big let down, mouldy dishes left in dishwasher, shower filthy, pans unusable, no cook ware and when we complained on the day nothing was done to resolve it. If you are using both sets of bunkbeds be careful as one is dangerously unsteady

Michelle

Beautiful property just as described in the listing. All the home comforts and cosy and warm. Lovely quiet location and near to all amenities. Would highly recommend and come back again.

Lovely location and well presented accommodation. Lack of a wardrobe in the master and limited clothing storage in the children's room is an issue. Not much storage in kitchen for food. The flat floors was great for elderly guests but the step up to the entrance was high. Simple addition of small ramp or half step would make it perfect for those with limited mobility.

Christopher

Great property, views were fantastic. Clean comfortable and modern. Location offers fantastic views being idilic and relaxing within an simple drive into bambrugh. Although dog friendly there isn't many routes to walk them nearby at least not known by visitors. Might be useful to have a map of walking routes nearby as unsure if local fields had walking routes and wouldn't use roads as far to narrow. An outdoor jacuzzi would benefit the property allowing the experience of the nights sky's in the warmth. Really good property and will be back.

Lovely lodge, however a few things took the edge off the self described luxury lodge tittle and price. Mould in both bathrooms. Cushion covers and curtains all need washing or replacing as damaged, a little grotty and stained. Quite a lot of cobwebs too. A few tweaks and it would definitely be luxury All that said, we had a great stay! Great location, very peaceful.

We really enjoyed the light airy lodge. The position of Cowslip lodge with the view of Bamburgh Castle was great.The lodge was well equipped .My only criticism was that the mattresses on the beds need to be double the thickness to give one a more comfortable night's sleep.Thankyou.

Sharon

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at cowslip Lodge. The house is very nicely decorated and encourages relaxation which we were happy to go along with. The surroundings are lovely too and it's only a short drive into Bamburgh so it's not too far off the beaten track. I would recommend blinds are fitted to the higher uo windows as it's difficult to see the t.v when the sun is blazing in! Stunning though & we will most definitely be back!

Jennifer

This is a lovely property and works really well for families. The facilities were clean and tidy, and a comfy cot was provided on request. My kids absolutely loved the cows and sheep who came to visit during the day! Although there are other lodges quite close by, the aspect of this one means you can look out the window and think you are in the middle of nowhere. Only minor annoyances were the drippy tap in the kitchen and the flush in the ensuite kept sticking. If these were rectified it would be a 1010!

As we had to be out by ten in morning think not being able to get in until five is very late other than that great weekend.

Anneka

Gorgeous lodge with incredible views and the cows and sheep were an added bonus! What a location! Everything was lovely in the lodge some items perhaps needed a deeper clean. The oven tray we had to clean ourselves and the knife block needed a scrub, but it didnt take away from the lodge as it was lovely. We would definitely book again if came back to this area.

Thomas

Superb accommodation great location. Highly recommended

Really lovely stay the lodge was beautiful beds comfy only thing was to enclose ... Really lovely stay the lodge was beautiful beds comfy only thing was to enclose the patio which we used the furniture to block our dog in other than that was a perfect stay loved it

Judith

This was our first holiday in Northumberland and what a holiday it was! !!! The property was absolutely gorgeous, it had everything we needed and was in a fantastic location. We had one query about the bins but within an hour the owner, Rachel, rang and sorted the problem straight away. The only constructive critique I would give is that the outside walls an around the doors need brushing down as there were quite a few cobwebs. While we were there it was our grandaughters 3rd birthday and she had a lovely day. She loved the fact that the cows came down in a morning to say morning and came down to say goodnight at teatime

Gaynor

Cowslip lodge was situated in a perfect position, furnished out very nice,lovely furniture, beautiful views, nice accessories and a very sunny position all day, we were happy with the above comments. However the main thing that let this lodge down for us was the hygiene cleanliness, very bad in the bathroom and shower and toilets, mould and stains. These can be rectified with a thorough cleaning. There were stains on the single duvet and hairs. I spent a full afternoon cleaning the lodge, but not the mould areas just a spray. We would be more than happy to book this lodge again, if the cleanliness and hygiene is rectified. The response from the property owner was first class and a very nice person. Please rectify this for the next guests as it is important for such a lovely lodge. Dryden company very polite and quick with their response, nice gentlemen that came out to the lodge. We were offered a cleaner to come out to the lodge but this would have been too disturbing for our guests. The lodge would benefit greatly with a gate for dogs as other dogs wander in and spoil it , this is an important fixture for a dog friendly lodge. Other dogs wander around the lodge and leave their mess which we had to clear. We had a lovely time in Cowslip and we would gladly return should the above issues be rectified as I wouldnt want to come away and clean whilst on holiday. More relaxing with a gate for the dogs and to keep others out. Thank you to the owner of this fantastic lodge, who will be proud to own Cowslip

Dorothy

We had a lovely holiday at Cowslip Lodge. It had everything we needed to make our stay a very comfortable one. The location had the the double benefits of peace and a great base to explore surrounding areas such as the beach and Seahouses.

Christine

Perfect location. Very comfortable lodge which made for a very enjoyable holiday.

Andrea

Lovely rural setting and great for dogs. Quick and easy to get to lovely beaches and boat trips to the Farne Islands. Bit stingy with toilet paper but overall a great place to stay

Andrea

Sheila

Lovely, quiet location. Great view of Bamburgh castle too! Accomodation has all you need and we would definitely book Cowslip again.

Andrew

The lodge was amazing best I've stayed in the UK.

Debbie

Great lodge in amazing location. Had everything we needed for a large family. Only thing we would have liked was the deck to have a gate & fence so our dog couldnt get out. We knew it was open when booked but would have been nice to be able to keep the big doors open & not worry about the dog!

We had an amazing time at this property. We have stayed at Brada Quarry last year in a different chalet and the location within the site of Cowslip was far superior with a great view of the Castle and fields, tucked away in a corner of the site, with a decking looking onto fields and very private, and also getting the sun for the vast majority of the day. The design of the building is sophisticated and light and roomy. Well equipped and well laid out. We loved it.

Andrew

Overall a very good place for a holiday but we had a couple of niggles. For a 3 bed house to only have one small wardrobe with only 6 coat hangers is not great if you expect people to stay for a week. Although all the soft furnishings were lovely you could really do with some blackout facilities over the bedroom windows. Everything else was great including a superb location Overall we had a great holiday and would happily recommend Cowslip to anyone

Fabulous, peaceful, immaculate, picturesque, well designed and planned, great walks, great views, everything you require and more. We loved this lodge and had a fantastic break there wish we had stayed longer. Will definitely go back. It was brilliantly equipped with everything from a whisk to iron and hair dryer Thank you.
