Guest reviews — JEM Lodge at Lakeside Farm

“I'm absolutely fuming… that I've had to leave this absolutely gorgeous haven today. Wonderful cabin tucked away, very private, windows everywhere to maximise the views. We loved our three nights — we did not want to return to normal life. Hot tub with views was on and ready the whole time. We will book next year!”

“Unbelievable — truly an absolute gem of a place to stay. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect escape if you want to feel completely switched off.”

“A perfect patch of heaven, beautiful cabin in a stunning location. The hot tub overlooking the lake was just blissful! Will and Bea could not have been more accommodating — even bringing us some rice when we realised we hadn't brought any.”

“This place is breathtaking. Watching the stars in the hot tub in the dark was amazing.”

“The most wonderful stay for our mini-moon after our wedding. Absolutely spotless, the location was serene, and it was especially sweet that their children had even heard about our wedding and mentioned it when we arrived!”

“Amazing place, even on a cold winter's day. Peaceful walks, a glowing log fire in the evenings, and full use of the hot tub when it was dark with a glass of prosecco. Would 1000% recommend.”

“It's right in the middle of the countryside with no noise, no distractions and nowhere to be. A perfect, quiet retreat away from the world.”

“Massively exceeded our expectations — the photos really don't do the lodge justice.”

“What wasn't there to like. So peaceful, what a view of the lake to wake up to. A little walk to a pub that did great food, and a little telephone box with a book exchange — my partner sat by the lake reading.”

“We drove almost 4 hours to get to the cabin and it was worth it. Will and Bea were great — easy to get hold of, very friendly and helpful.”

“The best place I've ever stayed — totally charming, loads to explore, beautiful surroundings and so private! Lovely hosts and such nice personal touches.”

“The pictures really don't do justice to what this place has to offer. Thanks Will and Bea for sharing your patch of countryside heaven.”

“Candles lit and complimentary wine when we arrived. The hot tub and views were the icing on the cake.”

“We had a lovely break with our 3-month-old — the hosts were very accommodating, and the hot tub overlooking the lake was absolutely wonderful.”

“Their communication was excellent when helping to arrange my partner's surprise 40th birthday weekend. A special and memorable occasion.”

“The perfect getaway to unwind after the madness of Christmas. Will was very welcoming and even taught us how to get the fire going!”

“If you are looking for a beautiful and peaceful break away to recharge, this is the perfect place. The lodge sits right next to the lake, offering stunning views and a completely serene atmosphere. Exceptionally clean, and felt like a true home away from home.”

“Third time staying at JEM Lodge — we absolutely love it. The place is stunning: scenery, wildlife, and we even got the sun. Hosts are fantastic, nothing's a bother. Can't wait to be back.”

“Absolutely fantastic stay — the photos don't do it justice. What a beautiful and unique wee spot, perfect for relaxing. The hosts were great, too. Will be back!”

“The lodge is amazing — it looks exactly like the pictures, if not better. The whole lodge is spotless and very peaceful. I will definitely be back!”

“Peaceful and tranquil, exactly how advertised. Welcoming hosts, very clean — just a perfect getaway. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away from it all.”

“The photos really don't do it justice — an incredibly beautiful, peaceful place. We stayed with our 6-year-old and he loved the lake and going for a walk to spot wildlife. We're already looking for when we can book again.”

“This is a beautiful lodge and the views are amazing. No need to go anywhere else — just chill on the decking or in the hot tub and watch the birds and swans on the lake. Will be back.”

“If you want peace, tranquility and privacy then JEM Lodge is ideal. We spent 9 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it — another week would have been even better.”

“A little piece of paradise. The real jewel of our stay was the view of the private lake — swans, ducks, coots with baby coots. With the weather we had, we felt like we were in the South of France, not Northumberland!”

“The cabin is beautifully done and has everything you need. Bea and Will were brilliant hosts. I have no words for the location and the view of your very own lake — magical — and the wildlife surrounding the area is amazing!”
