About this property

Resting in a beautiful village setting in the picturesque village of Elsdon on the fringes of stunning Northumberland National Park, The Lodge is the ultimate romantic hideaway for a couple on holiday together. Guests are invited into the warm and welcoming sitting room, where the focal point of the room is a wonderful inglenook fireplace complete with a woodburning stove, where you can imagine spending many happy hours together. If the sun is shining, then the sunroom offers a warming sanctuary, the perfect spot for soaking up the captivating countryside views. If you want to whip up a romantic meal for your other half, then you’ve come to the right place. The spacious kitchen is fully fitted with all that’s needed to create fantastic food for your significant other and the intimate dining area enjoys superb views overlooking the surrounding countryside. Come bedtime and you can make your way to the opulent master bedroom with a stylish king-size bed just asking for you to sink into and relax after a hard day of exploring. Talking of exploring, The Lodge is in the ideal spot for getting out and about with the mesmerising Northumberland National Park literally on the doorstep with a fantastic collection of walks and hikes, all rewarded with simply sublime views along the way. The village of Elsdon is delightful with impressive castle remains worth seeing and a number of traditional pubs are within a short drive. The attractive market town of Rothbury is nearby with a good selection of shops and eateries as well as a golf course and cycle hire to give you the opportunity for further exploring on two wheels. Attractions worth visiting include Hadrian’s Wall, Alnwick Castle, Wallington Hall and the coast is ideal for a day out so pack a picnic and a bucket and spade and head to Warkworth, Amble and Cresswell. The Lodge is the perfect romantic getaway with stylish accommodation presented to a high standard ideal for a couple looking to enjoy a rural retreat.

Set in the heart of the Cheviots, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, the unspoilt village of Elsdon lies in a sheltered hollow amidst beautiful fells, rolling moorland and woodlands. The area is steeped in history, and has numerous listed sites within the Parish, dominated by the fortified Pele Tower. The village of Elsdon has been described as the perfect Northumbrian village, with an ancient parish church, an extensive village green and the remains of a Motte and Bailey Castle, as well as the famous gibbet at the summit of Gallow Hill, with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. There are several pubs within a 15-minutes drive of the cottage, including The Redesdale Arms, a 16th century coaching inn known locally as the 'First and Last' Inn on the way to Scotland. There is a good range of shops in the small but attractive market town of Rothbury within easy driving distance, and with the National Cycle Route (No 68) running close by, this is spectacular walking and cycling country. A peaceful area full of interest to explore!
