There’s something special about walking in winter, isn’t there? A brisk walk outdoors leaves you feeling healthy and refreshed. When it’s frosty outside and the air is clear, views can be spectacular too. If you’re staying at one of our lovely lodges or log cabins in Felmoor Park or Bockenfield Country Park between now and February, then the opportunities for some wonderful winter walks are countless, with easy access to miles of walks in woodland, on hills and along the coast.

…gunpowder, treason and plot! For over 400 years, we have been lighting bonfires on this night to mark the ‘Gunpowder Plot’. Did you know that the tradition of Bonfire Night began the same year as Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators were captured? Fireworks will be lighting up the skies across Northumberland this weekend at a host of organised displays. This year, 5th November falls on a Monday, so most public events are on Sat 3rd or Sun 4th. Here are a few of the most spectacular ones for you to visit. [ 02/11/18 ]

How does a holiday on two wheels appeal? When you book your next lodge, log cabin or cottage break, why not consider spending some time on two wheels, rather than four? If you and the family don’t have your own bikes, you can easily hire them from a number of places in Northumberland and get to see the county from a whole new perspective. To make life even easier, ask about hiring some of the latest electric bikes – e-bikes, for short! [ 18/10/18 ]

Many studies show numerous benefits are gained by using a hot tub – to general health, sleep patterns, blood pressure, stress relief, pain management, even weight loss. [ 10/10/18 ]

Pet owners know that going on holiday without their four-legged friend is a bit like breaking up the family. Your pet pooch is a valued family member and time spent apart can be a big wrench, particularly for children. When you book a holiday at a dog-friendly destination, you’re keeping the family intact (it’s cheaper than a boarding kennel too!) and everyone, including Fido, will be happy. You’re all about to embark on a wonderful new adventure and make some memories. What could be better? [ 09/10/18 ]
