When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Welcoming and friendly hosts who had great knowledge of the area. Comfy and clean room with a lovely view. A beautiful inside communal space with a variety of games, books, wood fire and a small fridge. The outdoor seating areas had great views of the garden and river. The location was great for us as it is 25min drive from kielder. The village has a spar shop, couple of cafes, local pub, fuel station and butcher. Breakfast was served at a local cafe, 'The Olive Tree', it was tasty with welcoming, friendly staff. It is a short walk (lovely river walk option) or even shorter drive to the olive tree.

Fantastic hosts. Beautiful room and stunning views. Advice on where to eat for supper was good but slightly underwhelming food. Breakfast was ‘offsite’ but included in the room price. Again slightly underwhelmed. However we would most definitely come back as the room and hosts were brilliant

Weekend away with grandson Ideal location for exploring Scottish border plus our visit to kielder forest observatory. Rooms and lodge finished to a really high standard Separate lounge to our room was an unexpected addition Outside areas lovely on the crisp autumn mornings,will be brilliant in the spring and summer Michael and Jayne both excellent hosts. So much knowledge about the area and willing to share Website does not do the lodge enough justice Will definitely return to the lodge with family and friends at a future date

My husband surprised me with a short stay away at the black burn lodge for my birthday & it did not disappoint. Such a beautiful location, so peaceful and the rooms are clean and feel luxurious. Micheal & Jane are excellent hosts, they really do go above and beyond and even upgraded our room because of our celebrations. Will definitely have to visit again!

Situated by the river and with a beautiful garden our accommodation was perfect. Michael and Jayne our hosts were so welcoming and gave us plenty of their time telling us about the area. Our highlights were sitting by the log burner with the Christmas tree lights on and Jayne’s wonderful breakfast.

We stayed with the lovely Mike and Jane who couldn't be more accommodating and are the nicest hosts, they went above and beyond to make our stay special. They recommended things to do, places to eat and even booked a table for us at their favourite restaurant (which was excellent) . The room was beautiful, warm and exceptionally clean. The breakfast was locally sourced produce and excellent. Perfect location for exploring kielder national Park, which is stunning. We can't recommend Blackburn Lodge enough and would definitely return in the future.

This is the second time I've had the pleasure to stay at Blackburn Lodge, and on both occasions it has been amazing. Michael and Jane are the best hosts, who really make you feel welcome in their amazing B&B. The room and facilites are excellent and the breakfast is not to be missed, even if you are a long distance cyclist wanting to be off at first light :-)

Just had a one night stay here whilst visiting Kielder Observatory for a late night event and cannot fault anything, arrived late (after 8pm) and Michael greeted us on arrival with a huge telescope and we saw Jupiter before it set, unbelievable! Shown to our lovely room, ordered breakfast for the morning and Michael gave us a hand drawn map to the Observatory which was spot on! Breakfast in the morning was amazing, Jayne and Michael were both great hosts, lovely spot for a peaceful break, wish we could have stayed longer. highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at Blackburn Lodge. The building and grounds are stunning and Jayne and Michael have thought of everything. From the very warm welcome, to the beautifully decorated rooms and bathroom. There are outdoor patio areas for guests to admire the lovely views after a long day out at Keilder Forest, where we went for the fabulous walking and cycling. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Staying at Blackburn Lodge was lovely. The room we stayed in (Elliot) was well appointed with a comfortable bed and was spotless. There was a shared lounge with everything you could want to make your stay comfortable, including a wine fridge, music system, and woodburner for cosy nights. For warmer evenings there are a number of outdoor seating areas including one overlooking the river, with heaters, blankets, and lighting. The owners, Micheal and Jayne, are excellent hosts, very friendly, accommodating, and Jayne cooked a very tasty locally-sourced breakfast. We stayed here to go to Kielder Observatory, it's ideally placed, and they provided very helpful tips on getting there including a map. Would definitely recommend.
