On arrival, we were very surprised at the quality of the property, it was amazing.

It looked as if it has just been completed. The bathroom was to die for as was the bedroom. One small thing, get rid of the infamous sofa mentioned in other reviews. For two people, the armchairs are fine. The scenery was beautiful and, the added bonus of a huge dog exercise field was the icing on the cake.

We were sorry to leave to come home but, will be booking for 2023.

We have just spent 4 nights in the Breamish Lodge with our two Golden Retrievers. It is located on the outskirts of a lovely village with a great corner shop and welcoming pubs with excellent menus. This west-facing lodge is very well equipped and finished to a high standard.

With plenty of parking space, it is easily accessible via the main door or the veranda. The complementary bottle of wine was well received, thank you! The sofa was a little low to the ground and too soft, but the two high back chairs were a welcome addition.

Outdoors there was a green space to walk your dogs. There was also an adjacent field which had a well cut path around the perimeter for an alternative dog route, as well as the lane down in to the valley. An ideal location if you want to explore Northumberland. We will definitely return again.
