🔥🛁 Who says hot tubs are just for evenings? ☕🌅

October and November are made for cosy escapes at Shepherds Lodge.

Of course, there’s something pretty special about sinking into the wood-fired hot tub as the sun goes down, watching those beautiful Northumberland skies change colour… 🌅
And when darkness falls, you can sit back, keep warm and look up at our incredible dark, starry skies. ✨
But we think the hot tub is just as magical first thing in the morning…
🌅 Get up early
❤️‍🔥 Add some logs
🔥 Slip into the warm water
☕ Take a cup of tea with you
🌊 Enjoy the peace and quiet
❤️ And watch the sun come up on another day by the sea

No rushing. No emails. Just you, a hot tub, a cuppa and an autumn morning in Northumberland. 🍂

Shepherds Lodge sleeps up to 6, is dog friendly and just a short stroll from the beach — perfect for an October or November escape.

🥰Why we love Northumberland 🥰

There’s a reason people come back to Northumberland time and time again… here are just 5 of our favourites!

1. 🏖️ The beaches
Miles of golden sand, beautiful dunes and some of the most unspoilt beaches in the country. From Beadnell Bay to Bamburgh and Embleton, there’s always another beach to discover.

2. 🏰 The castles - over 70 in Northumberland
You can’t go far without stumbling across a castle! Bamburgh, Alnwick, Dunstanburgh and Warkworth are just a few of the spectacular ones waiting to be explored.
3. 🌅 The sunsets
There’s something magical about a Northumberland sunset. Find a spot overlooking the sea, or from the cottage gardens - grab a cuppa (or a glass of wine!) and watch the sky put on a show.

4. 🐾 It’s perfect for dogs
Walks along the beach, miles of countryside and plenty of dog-friendly places to explore. Your four-legged friends can have just as much fun as you!

5. ❤️ The feeling of space
Big skies, fresh sea air, quiet beaches and beautiful countryside. It’s the perfect place to slow down, switch off and simply enjoy being away.

And after a day exploring? Come back to one of our cosy Mains Cottages and make yourself at home. 🏡
