The Lodge is a beautiful cottage with fabulous enclosed gardens, love it and the owner is lovely

This is the second time my daughter and little granddaughter and me stayed at The Lodge. My other daughter and 2 grown up grandchildren one of who was up home from her job in London for a few days, came to visit us and my daughter loved it so is going to try to book for her and her husband if available later in the year. The whole cottage has beautiful fittings, kitchen ware and furnishings

Very comfortable

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. Beds were excellent and we enjoyed a good night’s sleep. Parking was easy. Liz was very responsive to any questions we had. And the lounge was a perfect place to relax after a day out. We were only 2 but 4 people would be very comfortable. Jean

Perfect setting

Quiet and peaceful. Property exactly as advertised with lovely small garden area and small field amongst trees out the back, with deer spotted one morning. Very clean, owner had thought of everything from small torches in drawers to cleaning materials in cupboards and spare lightbulbs if required. Property very warm, and within about 30-40 minutes drive of nearby Northumberland and Scottish Border places of interest to visit. Property only 2 miles over the Border from England. Welcome pack of biscuits, cakes and honey a nice touch and a pint of milk in the fridge. Tea, sugar and coffee pods available also if required. Visitor information available in Lodge and visitor book to leave your reviews.

Wonderful stay at The Lodge at Spital House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. Liz was a fantastic host and answered all of our questions promptly. The cottage was comfortable and cozy, and everything was as described in the listing. The setting is peaceful, surrounded by pastures full of sheep and beautiful gardens. There were several historical places of interest within short drives, and we easily managed day trips to Edinburgh and Loch Lomond. Highly recommend a stay here.
