Beautiful location and great place to stay for a quiet get away. Great area for people who like to hike and for dog walkers. Restaurant within the Otterburn Hall Lodges site and a takeaway cafe/convenience store quite nearby in the local village Otterburn. Would return anytime I could and recommend also.

Stayed here in January for my cousins 40th. It was such a beautiful place to stay, a hidden gem. Didn't get a photo of the outdoor hottub which was such an added treat. The lodge it self had anything and everything you could possibly need, it was immaculate on arrival. A very cosey home from home stay. There isn't something in there that isn't covered. We loved the bird and squirrel feed and sat both mornings watching both of them on the decking. We walked a good few mile on a planned walk off the grounds, the pub and shop nearby were reasonably priced. The pub was a good laugh and seemed busy. A lovely place to stay if you're looking for a peaceful, chilled place to stay. The hottub really was a bonus after our walks. Aswell as the hamper and prosseco left out for our arrival. Will definately be booking again.
