Straker Lodge

Luxury Northumberland lodge with panoramic forest views

Calvert Kielder

Welcome to
Straker Lodge

Standing proud overlooking Kielder Forest, the huge, three-bedroom Straker Lodge is one of a kind. Built in a contemporary Swedish style with floor to ceiling windows, the lodge is carefully designed to give everyone who stays in it a magical get-away, with panoramic views across Kielder Water & Forest Park.

What this accommodation offers

After parking up, step past your private bike store through extra-wide doorways into the main hallway. Running straight through the heart of the lodge, it points towards the spectacular view ahead.

The double-height, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is built for luxury. Its huge contemporary kitchen is fully fitted with American-style fridge, freezer, wine cooler, induction hob, coffee machine, microwave and dishwasher. A separate utility room is home to your washing machine and tumble drier. Settle into the living area afterwards, with its log-burning stove, 55″ Smart HD 3D TV, Blu-Ray player and DVD library, home cinema sound system and Xbox 360 for evenings in.

The open-plan space opens out onto your private terrace, complete with hot tub, dining table and garden seating beneath a parasol. By day, take in the incredible panoramic views across Kielder Water & Forest Park. By night, climb the dramatic spiral staircase to your own mezzanine, where comfy armchairs and a telescope await for stargazing beneath England’s official darkest skies.
