Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Felton, Northumberland on the Percy Wood Country Park is Manderine Lodge. This wonderful, dog-friendly lodge benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior with two well-appointed bedrooms, off-road parking, and a decked veranda with hot tub, as well as a fantastic location on a site with amenities including a sports court, golf course, adventure playground, its own woods and a close proximity to the picturesque Northumberland National Park; the perfect setting for families.
Head into your new home-from-home where the warmth of the electric flame-effect stove greets you after a day of exploration, unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV or step into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up hearty meals. Enjoy these as a family at the dining table or indulge in an alfresco affair on the wrap-around decking, where tranquil birdsong is the soundtrack to your meal.
Later, enjoy a soothing soak in the hot tub and watch on as the stars fill the sky before heading inside to wash away the day’s adventures in the bathroom; you can then slope off to sleep in either the king-size with en-suite shower room or the twin with TV. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful park venture into the nearby village of Felton where you can pick up all the necessities for your self-catered stay or treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen with a delicious meal at The Northumberland Arms.
The fabulous, Northumberland Zoo is only a short drive from Mandarine Lodge, showcasing a variety of exotic wildlife including snow leopards and lemurs; a guaranteed day of fun for the whole family! History is woven throughout the surrounding countryside; explore the National Trust site of Cragside, the riverside ruins of Edlingham Castle or venture to Alnwick to tour its breath-taking castle which may look familiar to eagle-eyed Harry Potter fans.
