The Lodge (Alnwick)

About this property

Surrounded by stunning woodland close to Alnwick in Northumberland, The Lodge is an attractive property which has been lovingly restored to offer spacious and well-presented accommodation which is perfect for a family holiday. The open-plan living space is warm and welcoming with wood flooring and cream walls helping to create a real feeling of light and space. There is ample seating and an elegant dining area, somewhere you can imagine spending a lot of time eating, drinking and socialising. The good-sized kitchen is a delight to spend time in with all the facilities needed to produce high quality food for the holiday party, so no-one will go hungry when they stay at The Lodge! With safe enclosed gardens to the rear, this is the ideal space for eating and drinking alfresco while children and any pets can run around safely. All that running around will no doubt have tired everyone out, so come bedtime, guests can choose from two stylish bedrooms, a double and a twin. Both provide a calming space to rest your weary heads and are the perfect spot to wake up in the morning, before heading out for a day of activities. The picturesque town of Alnwick is nearby which is dominated by its stunning castle and gardens, boasting Europe’s largest cascading water feature. The castle’s other claim to fame is that it was the setting for Hogwarts School as featured in the Harry Potter films. The town also has a good selection of shops and amenities as well as miles of beaches to explore. Nearby coastal towns worth visiting include Alnmouth, Seahouses, Warkworth and Beadnell with trips to Farne Islands popular where you can look out for unusual birds and even seals. Other attractions include Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland Country Zoo and Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery. For a holiday to remember for a long time, The Lodge offers a wonderful holiday home in a stunning woodland location close to the coast.

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
