We had been before so knew what to expect. Clean, quiet and Michael and Jayne are great

There's nothing we would change!

Our hosts could not have been more welcome or friendly. They provided all of the information we could possibly need about Newcastleton and the surrounding area. The facilities are wonderful and the hosts definitely went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Will definitely come back!

A fantastic location to escape everyday life. We were lucky with the weather which allowed us to make the most of the beautiful location.

Very comfortable and pleasant stay. Lovely gazebo overlooking the river and guest lounge as well as a great bedroom. Stored our bikes in the garage. Breakfast at the local cafe was great and very friendly.

"Everything was perfect—just a shame we didn’t have more time to explore the area because of the cycling event. Hopefully we’ll be back next year!”

"The hosts were fantastic and made us feel very welcome. Fantastic accommodation, especially for anyone looking to escape their busy lifestyle. There are local restaurants and a pub just down the road, with plenty of scenic walks available nearby."

The hosts could t have been any more helpful. The rooms were very comfortable, we slept very well. The shower was lovely and the bathroom, room and communal living areas were spotless. The proposal in a beautiful setting and its close enough to Kielder observatory to be a good location for stargazing. We were also able to do some star gazing from the grounds of the property before going to the observatory.

The only thing not to like about black burn lodge is that at some point you must leave 😕

It is hard to put in to words just how amazing this place is.... It is far from a B&B and definitely not a hotel or Lodge... Infact the experiance at Blackburn Lodge is like no other and quite uneque... The owners ate a couple who have Loveing put together a beautiful retreat within ( and at the sane time seperate) from thair own home with so much love and care you will feel at home in a cozy yet spacious setting in the borders with woodland and countryside all around you and a river running through the land you will have access to a riverside heated pagoda for an evening drink or social time and fishing on the river is also permitted.... Your room is self contained with beautiful facilities and even communal areas such as outdoor BBQ or indoor log burner games room.... You are permitted to use the large kitchen within the beautiful home within reason and the owners are so welcoming you will feel so relaxed and can unwind here x 10/10

Perfect stay

Lovely hosts, tastefully furnished accommodation, in a spectacular location, riverside, with lovely walks nearby. The wood burning stove, in the comfortable sun lounge, on a frosty night, created a warm romantic setting. Fabulous. Close to Kielder. Off-site breakfast in a local cafe.

Everything from the minute we arrived and were greeted by Michael and Jayne through to departure and everything in between. Their hospitality was outstanding, very welcoming, and really looked after us. The house is at the edge of a little village and the rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

The property was clean and well maintained, the room was nicely decorated and the en-suite was great. Loved the outside gazebo that looked out over the river.

Lovely room at the edge of village. Near to Keilder and the observatory. Very comfortable bed.

The fact we could not charge our electric bike would have been a problem if we had not finished our 4 day ride that day Hopefully they can organise an extension to the outside shed which I presumed would have an electric point ( but didn’t) in the near future

The breakfast at the cafe 10 mins walk away was great The lodge and gardens were lovely - although I didn’t expect it to be attached to their house ( an annex )

No issues to mention.

The location was quiet and scenic. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, with the observatory tower just a short drive away. Michael and Jane were very kind and helpful.

Everything was perfectly as expected.

Very welcoming hosts in a gorgeous and peaceful place. There was no noise whatsoever, which made the experience fantastic, and the bed was extremely comfortable. A fridge for guests is provided in the common area, which allowed us to store some fresh food over during our stay. Unfortunately, we would have liked to stay a little bit longer than only one night to enjoy the sight over the river from the lovely gazebo. The hosts provided us with maps of the Kielder Forest at our arrival as there is no connection in this area to use the gps. They also send us advice ahead of our visit to select a place for eating out, which was very thoughtful.

The only downside was that we were here for one night and would love to return to stay longer and enjoy sitting out more in the garden and by the water. So peaceful!

Everything was amazing! Lovely, accommodating and informed hosts, peaceful and beautiful surroundings and felt like home.

Hosts were lovely people, who were proud of there beautiful home. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They would offer their help without even needing to ask them.

Lovely stay in Newcastle for the folk festival. Our hosts were super welcoming and friendly as well as hospitable. Would highly recommend this stay and looking forward to a future stay myself!
