Restharrow Lodge

There's a reason Restharrow Lodge keeps guests coming back. Set on the outskirts of Bamburgh, one of Northumberland's most celebrated coastal villages, this contemporary lodge combines modern luxury with an unbeatable position. You're a twenty-minute stroll from Bamburgh's award-winning sandy beach, with views stretching towards the imposing castle that dominates the skyline. Step inside the open-plan living space and you'll immediately notice the attention to detail. Soft grey kitchen cabinets complement the modern aesthetic, while a generous dining table seats up to eight for leisurely family meals. The sitting area feels genuinely inviting, with comfortable sofas arranged around a flatscreen TV and a woodburning stove that transforms chilly evenings into something rather special. Three bedrooms are spread thoughtfully across the ground-floor layout. Two king-size rooms (one with its own en-suite shower room) and a twin room mean everyone gets their own space. All bedrooms feature Smart TVs, a nice touch for late-night viewing. But the real draw here is the outdoor space. The wrap-around decking offers multiple seating areas, and the raised hot tub enjoys those same castle views. Picture yourself sinking into the bubbling water as the sun sets behind Bamburgh Castle. It's the kind of moment that makes a holiday truly memorable. Explore beyond the lodge, and you'll find Holy Island within easy reach. Time your visit with the tides to cross the causeway to Lindisfarne. Seahouses offers boat trips to the Farne Islands, where puffin colonies and grey seals provide unforgettable wildlife encounters. The historic market town of Alnwick, with its castle and famous poison garden, makes for a perfect day out. Restharrow Lodge strikes that rare balance between contemporary comfort and genuine Northumberland charm. The SONOS sound system and wine cooler might feel luxurious, but it's the woodburner, the coastal location, and those castle views that guests remember long after they've packed the car.
