    “Sadly the start of our holiday was spoilt by a very nasty phone call with Mark , the owner.”

    This was in response to 2 queries about the lodge and ended with Mark very nastily saying “ if you’re not happy, find somewhere else and I’ll give you a refund, and putting the phone down on me!!!!” Unnecessary and upsetting. The cleaning was not great. Apart from that, the lodge is comfortable with lovely beds and nice linen and towels.

The property

Matfen is a lovely, timber lodge lying amidst the Northumberland countryside, settled on private land in the village of Longframlington.

Matfen offers a group of six friends or family a tranquil retreat in this great touring location, near to the Northumberland National Park, a host of attractions and within reach of the coast.

Find the charming open-plan living space, home to a rich and welcoming interior, with hues of cream and brown alongside natural wood creating a contemporary take on country style.

The stylish kitchen holds an electric oven with a gas hob for making some delicious home-cooked meals, alongside a great selection of appliances.

Dine at the elegant dining table with sleek cream seats, with streams of light coming through the attractive floor-length, arched window behind.

Two plush sofas each seating three offer a sumptuous spot to unwind, with a TV to watch an entertaining film on with your loved ones amidst.

Settle in one of the three beautifully-presented bedrooms, with the master double benefitting from an en-suite shower room, with a further double bedroom, and finally a bunk bedroom, all served by the gleaming wet room with walk-in shower.

Resting in Longframlington, a picturesque village surrounded by lush meadows and rolling hills, is where you’ll also find your nearest hub of amenities, with The Granby Inn pub, and Londis convenience store to ease your stay.

Venture further East to the market town of Rothbury and explore the grand National Trust mansion of Cragside, or perhaps reroute to Alnwick to visit the medieval Alnwick Castle - the second largest inhabited castle in England.

The town of Alnwick is steeped in history, with its bustling cobbled streets, impressive architecture, and beautiful gardens certainly worth exploring, or head to the Northumberland Coast AONB, dotted with sandy shorelines and delightful, coastal villages, worth exploring whilst on your travels.

All of this can be expected from Matfen.
