What sets Squirrel Lodge apart is the wrap-around deck, elevated to make the most of its position. Here, you’ll find your hot tub and pergola – the perfect place to soak under Northumberland’s famously starry skies. With outdoor seating and woodland views, this is a tranquil haven for wildlife watchers – keep an eye out for the friendly red squirrels that inspired the lodge’s name!
Set in 500 acres of woodland with nature trails, tennis court, and small duck and geese pond nearby. It’s a fantastic spot for walking, cycling, and reconnecting with nature. An onsite bar/restaurant is perfect for an evening meal. Under a mile from Le Petit Château wedding venue, it’s also ideal for attending weddings. The village of Otterburn offers the historic Otterburn Mill, a café and shop, while Bellingham boasts golf, cafes, pubs, and riverside walks. For adventurers, head to Kielder Forest for cycling, hiking, water sports, and stargazing, or explore Alnwick with the famous castle, the Northumberland Coast with miles of stunning beaches, or the scenic Scottish Borders – all within easy reach.
Visit Cragside in Rothbury with the historic house and gorgeous gardens only half an hour way. The surrounding areas of Otterburn are stunning, and the location is perfect for heading off in all directions to sample some of the “Geordie” hospitality in the many friendly towns and villages.

The lodge is located in a great spot for dog walking and for travel in Northumberland. The hot tub is amazing and very well maintained. The lodge itself was clean and tidy and had all the necessary utilities and lovely sofy towels. There is also a EV charging port just outside the estate which is very convenient. I'd definitely recommend a stay at Squirrel Lodge!

Lovely little Lodge, really well stocked and lots of little home touches. Internet does not work, and tv signal isnt the best. The estate homes are run down and borded up which really spoils the look of the grounds (currently under reservation) the coach house on the estate only serves very few (alcoholic) drinks as I believe its recently been taken over, no food. In the town there is a premier shop and a restaurant, for everything else you travel about 10-15 miles. The lodge was lovely and quiet beds super comfy, pillows etc all extremely nice, all felt brand new. The hot tub is nice and well maintained. On our last morning we finally got to see the red squirrels, kids were over the moon. Would definitely come again.
