The Lodge
Description
The Lodge is a delightful cottage resting in the rural village of Powburn, Northumberland.
Perfectly placed for exploring the surrounding countryside and Northumberland National Park, this abode is ideal for families and friends, offering a welcoming base with a garden, off-road parking and scenic views.
After pulling through the lovely stone-pillared entrance and metal gates, park your car to the side of the property, with additional space being created around the back for future convenience.
Pause for a moment to admire the chocolate-box exterior, framed by its neat garden and the sweeping views of the Cheviot Hills that stretch across the horizon, promising adventure and tranquillity in equal measure.
Step through the front door into a welcoming vestibule, where a handy cloakroom offers a practical touch before you continue inside.
The sitting room invites you to unwind, its wooden flooring gleaming beneath your feet, a bay window flooding the space with natural light, and an exposed stone wall adding character and charm.
Imagine sinking into the seating here after a day of exploring, with the glow of the countryside beyond those large panes.
At the rear, the dining area provides a delightful spot for sharing meals, its generous window framing the garden and those distant hills, creating a backdrop that elevates every occasion.
The kitchen, though compact, is thoughtfully designed for preparing hearty dishes.
Climb the staircase to discover two restful bedrooms: a twin room bathed in daylight through its large windows, perfect for waking up to serene views, and a double offering a peaceful retreat for a restorative night’s sleep.
A sleek shower room completes the upper floor, featuring a walk-in shower for refreshing mornings and a basin and WC for all your essentials.
Outside, the garden beckons for alfresco dining or a quiet moment with a cup of tea, while just across the road, a newly renovated pub and adjoining cafe tempts you with home cooked food and a warm atmosphere.
A nearby play area adds extra appeal for families, and with easy access to the Cheviot Hills, walkers and nature lovers will find themselves spoilt for choice.
Beyond your doorstep, Northumberland offers a wealth of attractions.
Spend a day at Alnwick, where the majestic Alnwick Castle invites you to wander through grand courtyards steeped in history, lose yourself in the enchanting pathways of The Alnwick Garden, and dine in the iconic treehouse restaurant for a truly magical experience.
Head to Rothbury to explore Cragside House, a Victorian marvel surrounded by woodland trails and riverside walks, before pausing at the charming tearooms for a well-earned treat.
For those craving dramatic landscapes, venture to Wooler, the gateway to the Cheviot Hills, where sweeping vistas, hidden valleys, and wildlife encounters create unforgettable memories.
The Lodge is more than a place to stay – it’s a gateway to scenic beauty, rich heritage, and the timeless charm of Northumberland.

What guests are saying
Lovely cottage, comfy beds, reclining sofa, quality bedding, towels etc.
Access to Netflix, Prime and Disney. Folder with places to visit /eat etc. Was perfect for our stay.
We had a great four night stay at The Lodge in Powburn.
Lovely touch of the welcome basket. Accommodation to a very high standard and we found the rooms to all be spacious. Generally a quiet setting despite busy road adjacent to the property. Our children liked the playground just over the road and we spotted lots of wildlife in the grassy area to the rear of the property. A couple of downsides - water pressure was iffy a few times, meaning the shower turned to a dribble when in use, leaving us unable to rinse hair of shampoo. We also hadn't noted that there was no freezer or freezer compartment in the fridge - not too big an issue this time but would have been useful to keep our ice blocks frozen for picnics. Also for short stays we thought that a dishwasher would have been preferable to the washing machine.
Beautiful house and garden area, especially the breakfast room.
The overhang (from the stairs) in the kitchen was our only bug bare despite the owners putting a cautionary sign up.
