Riverside Lodge Reviews

Ronald
Our third stay at Riverside Lodge which tells you how delighted we are with the accommodation.
Excellent. Perfect place to stay in an ideal location
Graham
This is an excellent property which is quiet, well located, clean, comfortable and basically equipped. If I was going to Alnmouth again it would be the first place Id look for.
Virginia
This was the second year that we have stayed at Riverside Lodge and we love it. It is so well placed to access the facilities in Alnmouth and the parking space is worth its weight in gold. We will be back next year.
We had a very enjoyable week here. Riverside Lodge is very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed and has the advantage of its own parking space. We will be returning!
We loved our stay in the comfortable home from home, with thoughtful additions to the property and very helpful owners.
Lovely cottage with everything you need. Really nice spot ,ideal for exploring Northumberland.Alnmouth has several nice pubs and places to eat. We really enjoyed our stay
Ronald
Delighted with everything about the accommodation, already looking forward to our next visit.
Comfortable, clean, with thoughtful extras to make us feel welcome. Situated in a quiet, tranquil village, just the sound of the many birds in the area and very near access to the sandy beach, this property also has excellent restaurants within walking distance who could ask for more?
Virginia
We loved the house and were very comfortable. Parking space useful as Alnmouth is getting busier. Only thing we missed was a pizza cutter and maybe a washing machine? I know not everyone needs one on holiday but we were away for 10 days in total as then had a weekend in Newcastle. We would love to come back next year.
A lovely property. Very comfortable and well positioned with nice views. We enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home there. It was well equipped with everything we needed. A few extra drinking glasses would be useful. Darker curtains in the downstairs bedroom would be an improvement.
Really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. The parking space was ideal and we had no issues that would involve us contacting the owners. If I had one small criticism it would be the lack of soft closers on the kitchen unit doors but thats just the kitchen fitter in me being picky. Overall a very pleasurable stay and would recommend to friends.
Joanna
We really enjoyed our stay and everthing was as listed. We appreciated the welcoming additions of fresh flowers, biscuits and milk. The fact that the kitchen was well equipped was very helpful. The accomodation is great for exploring the area and relaxing at the end of the day.
We loved riverside lodge. Great location in the village and the accommodation itself was very comfortable. The owners were very nice and welcoming on arrival. I did leave a note next to the visitors book listing some kitchen itemsutensils that would have been handy for the few meals we ate in etc. Overall a great find and would definitely recommend and return.
Ideal setting in village close to estuary. Lovely view of estuary from livingroom. Essential parking beside lodge and 2nd car can park on Riverside Road nearby.
Riverside property is a delightful place to stay with stunning views of the estuary and easy access to the town, beach and all facilities. It&39s comfortable, well furnished and has all you need for a great holiday. The quality of furnishings is excellent, and the overall experience of staying there was absolutely great.The cleanliness, information, and standards of the accommodation was excellent. I can think of nothing that would improve it.
A lovely, cosy place to stay in a fantastic tranquil location. We left feeling truly rested and cant wait to come back again
We have had a fabulous week here, the accommodation is perfect and in such a great location! We loved being able to access the beach in 2 minutes and the private parking is a real bonus! Thank you
Wonderful location and excellent accommodation, everything you could wish for. We had a really great stay in Riverside Lodge
