Description

Bramble Lodge is a superb, light and spacious detached property, located in Brada Quarry Park only 1.5 miles outside Bamburgh. Much thought and attention to detail has gone into the styling and modern decor inside Bramble Lodge. Outside, the garden furniture on the decking is sheltered behind the frameless glass balustrade which encloses the area, allowing unobstructed views of Bamburgh Castle. The living area is an open plan but partially separated from the kitchen/diner and the lounge by a partition wall housing the welcoming multi fuel stove. The end of the lounge area has a floor-to-ceiling window to take advantage of the lovely countryside views across the park, while the kitchen window looks directly across to Bamburgh Castle.

Bamburgh is only about 1.5 miles away. Here you will find the spectacular castle, a few gift shops and a long established butcher selling top quality local produce including "The Bamburgh Banger", voted Northumberland's best sausage. The fine sandy beach at Bamburgh stretches south to Seahouses, perfect for a brisk walk. From Seahouses, boat trips leave from the harbour out to the Farne Island. Budle Bay is home to a wide variety of native and migratory wading birds. The many historic castles which are a feature of this part of Northumberland are all within easy reach by car. Wind surfing, sailing, horse riding and fishing can be enjoyed locally and the area has several splendid golf courses.

Reviews

Great dog and family friendly cottage, well equipped, very comfortable, we would highly recommend. It is also in a lovely location.

Mrs B,

An outstanding, well appointed property in a fantastic location. Exceptionally clean and warm, we were very impressed. Excellent for dogs with super walks near by direct from the property, which sits on a quiet country lane with magnificent views of Bamburgh Castle. Having stayed at many properties and been deeply disappointed we were delighted to stay at Bramble Lodge and will definitely return. Recommend highly.

Mrs B,

Overall we really enjoyed our holiday, however we thought the lodge was on its own and found there was about 20 other lodges, luckily because it was quiet it didn’t matter but wouldn’t of been impressed if all lodges were full and site was busy ( photos a little misleading) The shower cubicle and the skylight had to be cleaned of mould and siliconed, should’ve been done before we arrived Really nice lodges, location close to areas we like to visit too We would visit lodges again but only at quiet periods and we have recommended to friends

Mrs T,

Firstly I would recommend this lodge it has fantastic views of the castle. It is on a quiet road which is the back road to Budle Bay. It does have other lodges either side of it so not really private if that’s what you want. I did ask up front about privacy so was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t more private as I was told it was the most private one, having said that we would return and not be put off by this. I agree with previous reviews regarding having to turn on the boiler to make sure you have hot water etc as this is not anything that you are advised of before check in or even as and when you arrive. It took quite sometime to get through to the office to understand why we had no hot water on the first day. The main en-suite bedroom is only a double bed and so quite small but we are used to at least a king size bed. The other issue we had was a very over flowing refuse bin which clearly had not been emptied for a few rentals after making the office aware they did attend to it the next day. All in all a lovely place to stay but could be even better with just small attention to detail issues which could be avoided.

Mrs A,

Great location and lovely walks nearby. House set up well with everything you needed for a stay. Comfy beds. Was very peaceful and quiet and had a lovely week.

Mrs P,

We arrived to a very well equipped property and although we had been told the house would not be decorated for Christmas and took our own tree, there was a lovely tree with lights already in situ. We were also cooking Christmas dinner so it was important to have all the necessary things to make it feel like we were in our own kitchen and the house did not disappoint. The lodge has a fabulous view and we were lucky to see some lovely sunrises/sunsets. Has a little issue with the boiler on arrival which was promptly dealt with. Great Christmas spent in Bamburgh and Seahouses which offer some great eating spots too.

Mrs D,

We loved our week in the cottage. The location was perfect for us giving us access to all the areas we wanted to visit: Budle Bay for birdwatching, Berwick on Tweed, for history and walking, Seahouses for fish and chips and a pub meal, Bamburgh and Beadnell for beautiful beaches where our beagle could run and paddle, and Holy Island for history and beauty. The cottage itself was really well equipped cozy and clean with everything we needed to cook and have evenings in- great Wi-Fi, superb television reception really nice woodburning stove. Our Cottage was spacious and really comfortably furnished with two bathrooms hiving have access to a bath and a shower. We think it’s the best holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in.

Dr H,

The location of the property is lovely with uninterrupted views of the castle, I feel there should be more attention to detail as there were some issues on arrival, all electric was off so no freezer, fridge or hot water. Also found a full bin. These issues could be easily addressed so hopefully going forward future holidaymakers won’t have any problems. I would recommend the property but hope the owners will take reviews on board.

Mrs D,

Loved it the place is great stuff stunning and peaceful with great view s we will return

Mr H,

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in number 5; it was so cosy and the situ was perfect.

Ms A,

Whilst the location of the lodge was fab, there are a few points that need to be addressed. On arrival, the TV remote did not work, we had to source alternate batteries. This surely should be checked. The visitor book was lacking in information and did not make it clear that we, as the guest, had to turn the boiler on to heat our own water. Unfortunately, there was enough hot water in the system for us to not notice this on the first day. However, when there was no hot water on the second day, we had to investigate this and found a note pinned to the boiler stating we needed to turn this on, on the day of arrival in order to have water the next day.

Mr T,

Everything we could have wished for. We appreciated the personal touches.

Mrs L,

Bramble lodge is such a lovely quiet location with the best view from completely enclosed deck. Quite the best imo. Well fitted out with everything you could need. Very stylish roomy comfortable & relaxing. Please note the grass areas are not completely secured from the quiet road. Shop and restaurants/takeaways/garage in lovely Bamburgh & Seahouses 10 min drive. Car essential. Close to lots of lovely places to visit and spectacular scenery. 2 small issues dealt with same day after a phone call (smoke alarm & 2nd bed made up as a double rather than a twin) We will definitely be back to stay here, it was worth a very long drive from the south

Mrs S,

Great location, well equipped, light and airy.

Mr G,

Great location - lovely and warm . Nice and private. Fabulous to see that there were obviously cooks in the house / therefore slow cooker/ implements / oven trays etc - all do welcome !!

Miss R,

A very spacious, comfortable and airy lodge, all mod cons. Clean and practical with great views of the castle in the distance. We had a fabulous time. A great base for exploring the delights of Northumberland. We will definitely return.

Mr J,

Fantastic place to stay, great views, warm home and nice

Dr H,

This property is very comfortable, warm and clean. The welcome packs for the kitchen and the bathrooms are great. It is very well located, only a few minutes drive from Bamburgh and Budle Bay which are our favourite beaches, and pretty close to the A1 for access. There is plenty of space on site to give the dogs a quick walk. I’d be happy to return, although the rental cost is on the high side.

Ms P,

Bramble Lodge is perfectly located in a quiet development just outside Bamburgh. The lodge is well equipped, really comfortable and pet friendly. We enjoyed the woodland walk from the door of the lodge with the dog and were able to travel just a couple of miles by car to Bamburgh beach for a run-around. A lovely stay in a beautiful property.

Mrs S,

Location

Bamburgh

One of the most visited and beautiful places on the Northumberland coast is the sandy dunes of Bamburgh beach. On one side stands the famous castle and on the other, the dramatic Farne Islands where over 23 different varieties of birds can be spotted. The islands are also home to the largest colony of grey or Atlantic seals with around 1,000 pups being born each autumn.

Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bamburgh beach is a great place to sit and watch kite surfers, spend time with the family, walk the dog or go horse riding along the miles of shoreline. From here you can also admire the views of Holy Island, a wildlife of haven with it being home to a natural nature reserve. This small island is well worth a visit to spot numerous rare birds and sample a fresh crab sandwich, a Northumberland speciality.
