“Crockery hard to reach Sun parasol would be a bonus .”

. The property was perfect in every other way… close to bamburgh and its glorious beaches. It was very comfortable , we only ate out twice as wood sage offered home comforts that we wanted to enjoy after a hard day enjoying all that beautiful Northumbria has to offer!

- Elaine, August 2023

Hello, thank you so much for your great feedback! Sorry you couldn’t reach the plates in the kitchen cupboard, maybe I should have moved them to the kitchen larder cupboard. Kindest regards Property Owner

David June 2022

“Superb location, with views across countryside to Bamburgh castle and an SSSI on site!”

A beautifully designed, fully equipped, spotlessly clean, and very well-maintained property. A comprehensive welcome pack from the owners, appreciated by all three generations of our family group. Quite simply and by a country mile, the best 'holiday home', in which I've ever stayed and I've been around a very long time. So, overall, not too shabby then.

- David, June 2022

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time for your wonderful review, it is much appreciated! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Wood Sage and hopefully we’ll see you again! Best Wishes and Kindest regards Property Owner
Nichola June 2022

“Fabulous holiday lodge.”

We had a wonderful time. The lodge is fitted to a very high standard with everything provided for. The outside space is lovely on a sunny day. The location is excellent for travelling around Northumberland. The property has a view of the castle. We hope to return in the future. This is one of the best holiday accommodations we have stayed in and we highly recommend it.

- Nichola, June 2022

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, it really means a lot. So glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again! Best wishes. Property Owner
Joanne May 2022

“We were bowled over by the holiday cottage.”

It is so comfortable and definitely 5 *. The owners have gone above and beyond expectations. The holiday park is in a quiet setting, which we liked, but you definitely need a car to get to restaurants, and tourist attractions. We would highly reccomend Woodsage, and hope to come back in the future.

- Joanne, May 2022
Roger April 2022

“Excellent site with superb facilities”

- Roger, April 2022
Paul February 2022

“Beautiful cottage situated in an old quarry, a great location a few minutes from Bamburgh.”

Great facilities, lovely view of the castle from the main bedroom where you can watch the sunrise in the morning. Great facilities, lots of space, wonderful natural light in the whole cottage and a lovely fireplace for cost evenings. Super helpful, communicative host. Car needed, much like all of Northumberland. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

- Paul, February 2022

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your holiday at Wood Sage, hope to see you again!! Kindest Regards Property Owner

Marie October 2021

“Fantastic holiday house, immaculate, well equipped and very comfortable.”

Excellent location for visiting Northumberland. Very exciting opportunity for people with mobility issues, not only is Wood Sage all on the flat, Bamburgh Parish Council have purchased all terrain wheelchairs for the beach! Free to use, visit their website to book. Amazing holiday and would highly recommend this property, we will be booking again!

- Marie, October 2021
Sally October 2021

“Wood Sage holiday lodge is set in a peaceful disused quarry.”

Gorgeous views of the sea, Bamburgh castle and surrounding area from the top. Location is ideal for touring and sight seeing. The lodge itself is immaculate and furnished to a very high standard with a definite feel of luxury!

- Sally, October 2021

“Beautiful lodge and great location.”

- Angela, September 2021
Christina August 2021

“Wonderful. I would have liked to have had chance to return but having checked price.”

Increases which are too high for an NHS nurse like myself. I fear it will encourage most people to travel abroad again instead of staycations.

- Christina, August 2021
Ross July 2021

“Excellent location for exploring the local area.”

Great facilities

- Ross, July 2021
Jackie June 2021

“What a fantastic property, everything you needed and more.”

Amazing quality of all furnishings too. Location perfect nice and quiet but you could still walk into Bamburgh. Loved the outside space with a view of the Castle. Northumberland is a beautiful place with lots of places to visit. Would highly recommend this and would love to go back.

- Jackie, June 2021
Anne May 2021

“We loved the property , it was very comfortable and stylish.”

The bedding is top quality and the beds very comfortable. We had an issue in that the high chair was not readily available ( the listing says available and I rang Sykes, who said no need to request as it was available!) However the owner was on site and sorted it out immediately. She couldn’t have been more helpful. This is a great area to explore and the surroundings are beautiful. The view of the castle was an added bonus The welcome pack was a lovely touch too.

- Anne, May 2021
Tracey April 2021

“Staying at Wood Sage was a real treat!”

The accommodation is 5 star all the way. There are so many home comforts and little touches that really do set it apart and place it very highly in the 5 star category. Immaculately clean, incredibly comfortable beds, top quality towels and bed linen to name but a few. The deck area is a complete sun trap and is arguably one of the best postioned lodges on the site. The lodge is ideally situated between Bamburgh and Seahouses and is in very easy reach of the Coastal Path and all of the sites in the area. Very quiet at night and we had the best nights sleeps for years! A fantastic lodge that is more than home from home and will not disappoint. Thank you to the owner who we got to meet, nothing was too much trouble and the goodies on arrival were very welcomed (especially the wine!). No doubt we shall return to Wood Sage.

- Tracey, April 2021
Linda October 2020

“Beautiful property, well equipped and lovely furnishings.”

Lovely view of Bamburgh Castle from the outside area.

- Kathryn, September 2020
Julia September 2020

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Woodsage, the level of comfort and cleanliness is exceptional.”

The lodge is very well equipped with absolutely everything you need for a thoroughly relaxing stay. The lodge is situated in a quiet secluded location with lovely walks on the doorstep. We visited Alnwick, Berwick, Craster and Lindisfarne but our favourite days , by far, were spent in Bamburgh on the vast beautiful beach. We were always keen to get back to our lodge for cosy evenings watching movies and playing games . We can highly recommend Woodsage and we hope to return soon . The Armett Family , Buxton.

- Julia, September 2020
Laura July 2020

“The house was pristine, with beautiful, good quality furnishings and accessories.”

It was in a beautiful location in an old quarry, with great walks nearby and on a quiet lane. Bamburgh a 5 min drive, and the A1 in the other direction about 10 mins, so perfectly located for north Northumberland attractions. We had a great time and would love to go back.

The property

Tucked away and set at the foot of a former Whinstone Quarry, on the outskirts of Bamburgh is the delightful lodge Wood Sage. This heart-warming retreat is an idyllic base for families seeking to explore all the delights of this seaside location, as well as the surrounding Northumberland Coast Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty. Be welcomed into the spacious and contemporary interior design with quality furnishings to ensure a charming base to return to each evening. Enter into the sitting room which features a delightful woodburning stove to keep the room nice and toasty during those chillier months. Cosy up on the plush sofas and indulge in the TV to while away the hours with a refreshing drink as you wind down from a long day exploring. Towards the rear of the cottage is a kitchen/diner which comes with all the essentials to whip up a home-cooked meal for the whole family to enjoy. The charm continues with three ground-floor bedrooms, set up as two king-sizes and a twin; the master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room so you can get ready in your own leisure of a morning. The interior is completed by a well-presented shower room, complete with a double walk-in shower and all quality fittings. To the outside, you will find a quaint garden area to the rear which isn't overlooked and is perfect for some quiet time to read a good book and watch the sunrise. Look forward to dining alfresco during the summer months in the front garden with delightful rattan furniture to cosy up on. This Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, a real haven for birdwatchers and photographers to snap shots of the picturesque coastline. Set on the outskirts of the seaside village of Bamburgh, you are well-placed amidst a peaceful and tranquil spot and within driving distance of a variety of local attractions. Resting in an elevated position, the Grade II listed Bamburgh Castle is an excellent sightseeing opportunity to explore this Norman structure which holds a wealth of history. Bamburgh Beach is within reach where you can enjoy a day trip to the coast and get involved with some watersporting activities, such as surfing, windsurfing and kayaking, as well as rock pooling or swimming. The neighbouring village of Seahouses comes with a delightful fishing harbour and you can take boat trips across to The Farne Islands. Further afield is the charming market town of Alnwick which boasts Alnwick Castle as one of its best attractions. This castle is home to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and it was used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films and Downtown Abbey. Wood Sage is the ultimate choice for a week long break near the coast of Northumberland.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.

Please note: You will need to request a high chair or travel cot prior to your arrival.
