Pine Tree, Otterburn

Pine Tree is a stylish, all-ground-floor lodge tucked away in Otterburn, Northumberland, right on the doorstep of the Northumberland National Park. This three-bedroom retreat sits within 500 acres of woodland grounds, offering complete rural seclusion while still being just 0.2 miles from the nearest pub.

The lodge is part of a peaceful woodland setting with an unfenced lake that's perfect for morning walks. Spend your days exploring the National Park's wild landscapes before heading back to your private deck. After a day of hiking, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub with a favourite drink while you count the stars above Northumberland's famous dark skies.

Inside, the accommodation features an open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas. There are three bedrooms - one double with en-suite, another double and a bunk room - sleeping six guests comfortably. The kitchen comes fully equipped with electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and even a wine chiller (priorities, right?).

Visit Kielder Water & Forest Park (20 miles, 35 minutes), explore historic Alnwick Castle (28 miles, 45 minutes), discover Hadrian's Wall (15 miles, 25 minutes), or enjoy the beaches at Bamburgh (40 miles, 1 hour). The site's Coach House serves food on weekends if you can get a table!

Pine Tree delivers the ultimate countryside escape with modern comforts and luxurious touches. Families, friends, couples and dogs will all feel at home in this woodland retreat.
