About this property

Gardeners Lodge is a single-storey retreat set in peaceful surroundings near Belford, offering a comfortable base for up to three guests. Inside, the open-plan living space is designed for easy living, with a sitting area centred around an electric fire for relaxed evenings, a well-equipped kitchen for preparing simple meals, and a dining area to enjoy them together. The lodge features two bedrooms, including a king-size and a single, making it a practical choice for small families or friends. A shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC completes the interior. Outside, the enclosed decking provides a pleasant spot to sit out with a drink or make use of the barbecue on warmer days.

Off-road parking adds to the convenience, while a nearby shop and pub ensure the essentials are within easy reach. A handy note: the washing machine and tumble dryer can be found in the outhouse. From Gardeners Lodge, you’re well placed to explore some of Northumberland’s standout spots. The coastal village of Bamburgh is within driving distance, famed for its sweeping beach and the striking Bamburgh Castle. The historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed offers characterful streets and Elizabethan walls, while Alnwick is known for its impressive castle and gardens. Closer to the coast, Budle Bay is a haven for wildlife, and walkers can take in scenic routes through Northumberland Coast AONB or visit the atmospheric St Cuthbert’s Cave.

Gardeners Lodge makes a solid base for exploring this quietly spectacular corner of the county.

The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.
