Is Apple Tree Lodge Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The shared play area includes swings, slides and a climbing frame for outdoor fun. Large lawned gardens and woodland provide space for games and exploration. The ground floor layout makes supervision easy and three bathrooms reduce morning queues. Nearby beaches at Alnmouth and attractions like Alnwick Castle offer excellent family days out within short driving distances.
For Couples
This property works better for families or groups than couples due to its size and shared grounds setting. The peaceful countryside location and distant sea views provide a quiet retreat. However, the three-bedroom layout and family-oriented facilities mean smaller properties might suit couples better. The welcome pack and attentive hosts add personal touches.
Pet Friendly
One well-behaved dog is welcome at Apple Tree Lodge. The shared grounds and woodland provide excellent walking opportunities right from your door. Large lawned gardens give space for exercise and play. Lockable bike storage means you can bring equipment for longer countryside walks. The ground floor layout makes access easy for older dogs.

Apple Tree Lodge Reviews

Superb Holiday
The accommodation is really high quality. Three good sized bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and three bathrooms (all with good quality showers). The cottage is well heated and insulated and towels and bedding are also provided. The owners are really friendly, lovely people, and you will find coffee, tea, milk and wine left for you on arrival, just what you need after a long drive! The location is fantastic, peaceful and relaxing a great place to escape from the stress of work, yet just a short drive from the towns of Alnwick and Morpeth. The cottage is also just a short drive from many of Northumbria's glorious sandy beaches, ideal for a young family. This is our 5th or 6th stay at this place and we will definitely be booking again next year. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
IDYLIC
This is a luxury lodge in beautiful surroundings not too far from Alnwick and Rothbury and sandy beaches at Alnmouth,Bamburgh. Embleton and Druridge Bays one could not ask for more for family holidays Excellent comfortable accommodation and welcomed by the owner with home made bread and cake and a bottle of wine. Highly reccomended
The property was of outstanding quality and beautifully kept. The owner was very nice and friendly and helpful. The Lodge was 'off the beaten track' and lovely and quiet, just what we wanted, absolutely top notch. As a family we generally rent detached cottages/cabins/lodges and this is as good as anything we have rented, at any price!
We enjoyed everything, from the wonderful location, wonderful property and wonderful owners who were on site with advice if needed.
We loved everything about our stay. Lovely owners, made us feel very welcome and at home, will definitely be staying again!
