Vindomora Country Lodges are owned locally, having been built following the vision of a local man who wanted to provide luxury accommodation in beautiful surroundings. After years of hard work, this vision started to take shape in 2017, with the first lodge opening New Year 2018.
This Vision has resulted in eight, real wood cabins being built, all of high quality and all having their own private Hot Tub, set in tranquil surroundings, overlooking open countryside in Northumberland.

Craig is a retired Police Officer, after completing his thirty years service in 2018.
Craig commenced his service in Hertfordshire Constabulary and some years later, transferred to Durham Constabulary.
During his service, Craig's spent most of his time in Neighbourhood Policing, 28 years on Search Teams and in 2012 created a primary school engagement programme called the Mini Police, which on his retirement, he had taken to 13 forces nationally,
positively impacting on thousands of young children's lives.
Craig has used his skills to develop and manage Vindomora Country Lodges
so that it has become a successful holiday accommodation in a very short period of time.
