Dog Friendly Lodge
Spacious lodge which was clean and very well equipped. The garden was private and enclosed, very suitable for our dog. There is a bit of a walk to the beach but overall the location is well situated for exploring the area. Excellent value for money.

Another very nice short stay
We've stayed a few times at Shepherd's Lodge now and it is always very pleasant. It is spacious but cozy and has pretty much everything you might need for your stay. It is very well situated with stunning beaches only a short drive away.

Lovely lodge
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much so we have booked again. Sam is very welcoming and the welcome goodies left for us and our dogs were very generous and very tasty . We found the lodge lovely and quiet and the views are just amazing. Our dogs loved it there and it is very dog friendly with a fab garden for them to potter around in.

A beautiful lodge perfect for dogs too.
A superb lodge in a quiet location and yet only minutes away from local amenities. The beaches nearby are fantastic. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The welcome pack even has treats for dogs.

Great property, great location
Shepherds Lodge is finished to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. Although on a plot next to other rental properties it is very private, with the garden and property overlooking open fields.
The location is only a short walk from local amenities and the stunning beach of Beadnell, with numerous walks from the Lodge.
We had a very comfortable stay at the Lodge, it felt very homely. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch and much appreciated (the cake was gorgeous).
I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Shepherds Lodge and would be more than happy to return.

Excellent base to explore
As always, the lodge was very clean and everything was provided. That’s to welcome us too.
Fabulous for dogs. Bowls, poo bags, treats all provided. Superb nearby beaches for them to play on too.
Lovely quiet place to stay.
Perfect holiday home in beautiful part of the world
We were a party of 5 staying at Shepherd's Lodge and we had a fantastic holiday. The Lodge was the perfect accommodation, and we really enjoyed coming home to it at the end of each day. It was comfortable, there was a lovely welcome pack which was much enjoyed, it was incredibly private, and we enjoyed being able to walk to the beach from the house. We can't really fault it. Would highly recommend as the perfect place to explore beautiful Northumberland.

Second stay and we loved it as much as we did the first time
This was our second stay at the Shepherds Lodge and you couldn't have asked for anything more.
Fabulous welcome gifts upon arrival, everything in the lodge you could have possibly needed in a perfect location.
Short walk to Beadnell village where we visited the Craster Arms for lunch which was excellent. A great base for visiting Alnwick, Seahouses and other beaches nearby too.

Lovely long weekend
We had a lovely stay at Shepherds lodge. The garden was secure enough and big enough for our 3 dogs . I recommend a visit to the Craster Arms just down the road and you can take dogs in there too.
Comfortable, cosy and clean

Another great stay
We had another lovely stay at Shepherds Lodge with our five dogs. The lodge is very spacious but cosy and has everything you need for a weeks stay. It is only a five minute drive from the lovely sandy beach at Beadnell.
All the beautiful beaches in the area are dog friendly and never crowded in September. We had lovely cream/savoury teas at the Copper Kettle in Bamburgh opposite the beautiful Bamburgh Castle which is well worth a visit.
The owners Sam and Steven are very friendly and were really prompt in sorting a minor problem that we encountered whilst staying there. We all just love Northumberland

Another fabulous holiday.
Shepherds lodge is ideal for anyone wanting a relaxing stress free extremely dog friendly holiday. Sam and her family go the extra mile to make sure your stay is enjoyable.
We love our summer holiday but also look forward to our November break in shepherds lodge, it’s so peaceful for the dogs away from any fireworks and the night skies are fantastic at that time of year.

Fabulous accommodation and location. Beautiful views and safe enclosed garden for little dogs.
We had a relaxing and very comfortable 3 nights stay. Delicious welcome gifts, thank you. Everything was provided in this very special accommodation. Great location for Beadnell village, beach, country walks with dogs and local attractions. I'd recommend this lovely lodge to anyone that loves the outdoors and luxury. Friendly locals and the beautiful beach really made our stay so special. Thank you so much.

Another brilliant break in shepherds lodge
We couldn’t wait to come back to shepherds lodge. Love the new furniture and garden revamp. It looks so much bigger.
Can’t wait to see what changes there will be when we’re back next June. Well done Sam and team, obviously you’ve been hard at work.
