The nearby shop stocks some local produce and is handy if you forget essentials.

Hadrians Wall is easily reached, and the Northumberland Heritage Coast make a great day out where miles of golden beaches dotted with castles await. Visitors are spoilt for places to go with so much to do in Northumberland. While you are in Otterburn make sure to visit Otterburn Mill, a great outlet for outdoor wear with a little café and some mill history.

A lovely well equipped lodge , fabulous hot tub which was cleaned daily. Very spacious for a a group or family. The grounds were gorgeous where we saw deer walking along road & red squirrels up the trees. My only concern was the shower was very slippery and could do with a mat or non slip flooring.

Absolutely super stay , the lodge was well equipped, very clean and quiet , a small isue was no shower in the main bathroom only a bath , only shower was through the main bedroom which was a bit inconvenient especially after coming in and out the hot tub if someone was in bed ! But overall a super lodge and lots of wildlife to be seen in the grounds , red squirrels, deer , and loads of rabbits , definitely would stay again ,

Lovely lodge in peaceful location. Enjoyed hot tub which was cleaned and tested daily. Minor issue with loose door handles on bedroom and patio. Very relaxing week.
