The staff were great, the pod was lovely the only thing was getting up to it and back down was steep and quiet slippery. Apart from that was a great stay

We stayed in one of the Swift Pods at Riverside and loved every minute. We got a really helpful phone call before arriving to ensure we had all the information we needed. The pod itself was exceptionally clean and the use of space is genius. We really appreciated the beautiful, peaceful surroundings, too. Highly recommended

Lovely spot for a quiet getaway
Cleverly designed pod and well equipped in a beautiful setting with a single car parking space outside. Safety barrier dropped in the evening at site enterance operated by fobs attached to your keys. Pod was a little tired in places, our bed needed a new mattress as you could feel the springs but an extra quilt for padding did the trick! Gated decking made it safe for the little ones to play outside. Short walk into the village which has a few takeaways, lovely restaurants, cafe's, shops and a co-op. 2 amazing national trust properties close by and the nearest beach in Alnwick just a 12 mile drive away. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Enjoyable 3 Night Stay in lovely Rothbury
Overall the pod fulfilled our requirements for a base to tour the local area, however the 3 nights would be our maximum as it is pretty small. Cleanliness was excellent, with all bedding and towels provided.The fold down bed wasn't particularly comfortable however we still slept well enough. The bunk bed is really only really appropriate for youngsters as there is not much headroom to the ceiling....yes I tried it :-) Bathroom is a good size with a decent shower, I assume it's a combi boiler as no issues with plenty hot water. We would definitely have appreciated a slightly larger TV for those quieter evenings after a busy day. Wifi reception was good however it was a bit slow and you had to login in every-time you returned. The park itself is on the river side and is very quiet and peaceful. Rothbury is a lovely village with some nice shops, decent pub/restaurants, a great Italian restaurant and a good bakery that also sells filled breakfast rolls. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would return but probably to a full size caravan next time.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Rothbury. We asked about what we could do locally, there wasn’t a great deal, except we did enjoy a visit to Cragside which was 5 minutes down the road. It’s a good location for visiting other areas in Northumberland- more like a base to go out and explore. Rothbury itself is small, but pleasant. We ate at the Turks Head and that was lovely. The pod was as expected- compact but had what we needed. The shower was powerful, there was a small kitchenette and just about enough room for a family of 4. The only downside to the pod was the fact our toddler couldn’t really sleep on the too bunk of the bed and the springs in the main bed mattress made for an uncomfortable nights sleep.

Had a lovely stay in Rothbury, the pod was clean and comfortable, but would be cramped with 4 people (even if it was 2 children). The staff were friendly and helpful. Think it was a bit pricey at £102 per night.

Brilliant 2 night stay, ingenious Pod!
Really enjoyed our 2 night midweek break, the site itself was lovely and quiet. Location was perfect and a 15 min walk into Rothbury; especially when you take the stepping stones across the river! The pod itself is ingenious, very clever indeed and can not fault its design and comfort

Absolutely excellent stay. The Riverside Rothbury team were friendly, polite and offered great service. The pod we stayed in had everything and more that we expected. The shower was really good, powerful and hot. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a weekend for two or two plus kids.

Pods
Nice stay for a couple of nights. Would be better to get rid of the bunk beds and fit a small kitchen/cooker in the space. Can’t see how 4 people could be comfy in their tiny space. Feel if I said anything more it would be nit picking. Would stay again but only one night on route to somewhere.

Lovely break
Lovely staycation. Rothbury is lovely. We stayed in Pod 1. Minor annoyance with the small mosquito like flies at night that would enter the pod, other half was bitten quite a bit, but due to the lovely weather and the trees, this couldn’t be helped. The trees also caused quite a lot of bird poo on the decking area which wasn’t ideal with a 14month old. Overall lovely stay and would recommend to family and friends for a mini staycation.
