Lovely old house in in excellent setting.
It was winter so pleasantly surprised the house was generally warm and cosy with the exception of the kitchen which appeared to have no heating and the games room where the heating was turned off.Bed linen and towels were good and beds comfortable. Cleanliness could be better dog hairs everywhere and the main hall smelt of wet dog. Some of the bath mats were mouldy. Some plumbing issues; one shower room was out of action, one of the ensuite toilets did not flush, and in one bidet the plug was jammed so could not be emptied. Unknown to us there was a water leak alarm in one of the bathrooms that went off in the night waking the house. Thankfully the caretaker quickly answered my text with instructions to locate it and turn it off. The kitchen has limited work space and about half the cooking appliances were not to be used.Overall an "interesting" stay.Overall an "

Fabulous Stay
Just left today after the most amazing weekend at Cleugh Manor. This property delivered all it said and more. Our grandchildren had a digital detox for most of the weekend as the loved being in the pool ( which was cool but not cold and we expected this given the time of year) they had nights at the ‘movies’ with the full on cinema experience and enjoyed each others company. The bedrooms were all clean and the whole house was grand but not so precious that you felt you could not use it. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. We are already looking at booking again as this is not too far for us to travel but far enough away to feel like you are in a special place.

This was our families second stay at the fabulous Manor- it is a magnificent house in its own grounds with lovely walks, tennis, swimming pool and hot tubs x The cinema room and the bar with snooker table was a big hit with all - we all said it makes you feel like you are living in a bubble of happiness! We have booked to come back next year! Thank you

Annual family get together
Cleugh Manor is an ideal place to stay, it offers something for all ages. Our family's ages range from 8yrs to 77yrs. The facilities are excellent and we certainly made the most of them. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possible need, good gas BBQ as well. Bear in mind its a very large old property, it can take a while to get hot water, its best to stagger showers and baths. Its also quite isolated which adds to its charm, no shops on the door step. I did two online shops during our stay which worked well for us. Its not too far to go if you like the seaside. Ideal for anyone who enjoys fishing. Kielder Water for cycle rides. Jedburgh and Cragside House for a bit of history, the area offers something for everyone.

Great family accommodation
Third visit to Cleugh Manor.The facilities for a family are excellent. Children loved the pool and cinema room. Adults enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and snooker table. Well- equipped kitchen. Lovely clean towels and bedding. A few things need sorting, light bulbs in lamps, extra cleaning around windows, some dirty oven pans and it would be lovely to have an updated (even partially covered) outdoor area for barbecues in all weathers. The addition of the tennis court gave us lots of family fun so all in all a great place and we’ll definitely be back in the future. The staff make you very welcome.

Family celebration for an 18th
Manor house is impressive when you drive up the drive and looks stunning. We had a hot water issue but thought it was over use but turns out pilot had gone out so we had no hot water for 2 days but was sorted quickly on the last day when we reported it. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tubs. Adults enjoyed the sheer space and outside courtyard and BBQ. Paul the gardener was super helpful when the gates would not open and we had to scale the wall. The reservoir was beautiful and well worth a stroll around. Some areas could possibly do with a deep clean as some cobwebs very evident in places you can reach, especially in the conservatory. I obviously don't mean the high ceilings etc as that would be impossible in a large house that size. Loved the experience and it was enjoyed by all the party of all ages.

Perfect location for a family holiday
Cleugh Manor was the perfect place to have a 12 person family holiday. Lovely rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and grounds. Plenty spaces to socialise but also plenty space if quiet time was needed. The kids (aged between 5 and 10) adored the pool, the games room and the tennis court and all had a whale of a time! Adults enjoyed the hot tubs, steam room and gym. Some wonderful memories have been made and it was actually a wrench to leave this beautiful house after our week! The two Pauls were very welcoming and helpful and we appreciated our wine and biscuits very much! My one and only negative observation is the whiffy toilet under the stairs, the smell tending to spread into the hallway.

Family trip
Wow! The pictures do not do this place justice! The house is amazing. Paul was great at explaining everything on our arrival. As the family arrived they were in awe of the size and magnificence of the house. We loved the cinema room, the hot tub, the cozy living area and especially the games room. A walk up to catcleugh reservoir is a must. We had an issue with one of the outside trains on the Saturday, we called the maintenance guy and he was there in 10 minutes. Kids are desperate to come back when it’s summer, they want to try the pool!

Such a fantastic house for a family get together
Grandparents arrived in the afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Paul who showed us around before our (essential) online shopping arrived so that we could make a cuppa. We were just delighted by the house which exceeded our expectations. The rest of the family arrived in dribs and drabs and each was wowed when they had their 'tour'. As others have said, the photos just don't do justice to the house which is huge and full of high quality furnishings. Our ages were from 2 to 72 and each and every one of us had a really great few days and made use of pretty well everything. Cinema and games room on the rainiest day, play in the pool every day (chilly to get in but fine for 30 minutes or so with a warm up in the hot tub afterwards). (Tip - take crocs or pool shoes for walking back to the house), many games of billiards, toasting marshmallows on the fire pit in the evening, several walks in the grounds to the reservoir - with the building of a forest den, and lovely family meals cooked in the amazing kitchen with appliances for every purpose. We knew that the house was quite remote and wondered how it would be - it just didn't matter at all as there was such a lot to do at the house. Groups made two trips to the Kielder observatory - the children's event was particularly brilliant even though the weather was cloudy. The What Three Words location of the entrance to the driveway (which is quite hard to see in the dark in bad weather) is: residual.pave.joints
