The interior of the lodge was clean and spacious. The sliding doors to the ensuite were rattling and perhaps needed mini handles as it was not easy to open/close without risking damage to fingers. The bedroom furniture, ie the drawers had to be open and closed forcefully as the fit was tight. Maintenance staff appeared unannounced to change the lid whilst my husband was in the hot tub.

The Falstone was great, although perhaps the least spacious of all the Kielder lodges. Nonetheless though, it was still well laid out and very comfortable with great facilities.One gripe I do have is the change to door locking on the lodges. In years gone by the doors have used a traditional metal key with an interior latch on the door, though this year thats changed to an electronic key card. Thats absolutely great from the outside in and feels very secure. From the inside though, theres no way to lock the door, making it very easy for a small child - or, in my case, a bouncy dog - left unattended for even a moment to open the door and get out. We resolved this by stacking furniture in front of the door, but Im not sure that would work for an adventurous toddler!With that said, theres lodges were super comfy. I particularly love the beds, and we as a family were so glad that the ability to hang bird feeders outside the window was available in this lodge!
