“A charming country retreat, in a unique, private and tranquil setting”

A copy of our 'Enhanced Cleaning Protocol', 'Risk Assessment', and the 'Detailed Cleaning Checklists' are available for guests to view inside the property in our Covid-19 enhanced cleaning file.

On the edge of the Northumberland National Park, near Morpeth and Rothbury, Rothley Lodge was built in Victorian times as the shooting lodge for Wallington Hall (National Trust - 4 miles away). Rothley Lodge has an abundance of character and charm, with very high luxury standards including beautiful period furnishings to add to your country house holiday experience.

Rothley Lodge offers spacious but homely and comfortable self-catering cottage accommodation, ideal for a relaxing holiday, special celebration or family get-together with a truly unique, private and tranquil setting to enjoy the ultimate country living experience.

In Spring/Summer, you can picnic on the many lawn areas available or relax on the timber decking and enjoy alfresco dining with the use of our gas fired BBQ whilst lounging in comfort on the garden lounge furniture or for those short autumn/winter days, get cosy by the roaring log fire in the family living room.

For the music lovers, enjoy a pleasant evening playing the properties Victorian Grand Piano, although a little out of tune, a little sing song for entertainment, will add to your memorable family gathering.

The self-catering accommodation at Rothley Lodge has been designed with luxury in mind, retaining the period nature of the property with period and antique furnishings, whilst providing a boutique and modern feel throughout.

Enjoy a pleasant social evening with a glass of fine wine in the kitchen/dining area whilst preparing your evening meal on the four oven AGA range, followed by a rare dining experience in the formal dining room.

The property offers three individually decorated double rooms with king size beds, one of which has an ensuite with travertine tiled shower room and toilet, all with glorious views over the properties parkland, gardens or the ravine leading down to the river.

Rothley Lodge is a magnificent country period home set within 6 acres of parkland with mature woods, duck flight pond and lawned gardens with picturesque woodland paths leading down to the property's own river where quiet walks or fishing can be enjoyed.

Every season is a wonderful experience to cherish at Rothley Lodge, whilst sharing this peaceful haven with only the wildlife that frequently visit the grounds, roe deer, red squirrels, badgers and a fantastic selection of bird life for the budding bird watchers.

In Spring/Summer, you can picnic on the many lawn areas available or relax on the timber decking and enjoy alfresco dining with the use of our gas fired BBQ whilst lounging in comfort on the garden lounge furniture.

On a clear night at Rothley Lodge, the skies are black and clear due to our location on the edge of the Northumberland Dark Sky Park. Kielder Observatory is a 50-minute drive if you wish to book onto an event.

Free of charge trout fishing is available at Rothley Lodge during the fishing season 15th March - 6th October.

Wildlife & Bird Watching

At Rothley Lodge, we have an abundance of garden wildlife and birds to be seen for the keen watchers. We are very careful to protect the wild and natural landscape within the grounds to maintain the habitat for wildlife.

We still have Red Squirrels within the grounds, although working with the national trust at Wallington Hall to keep down the spreading Grey Squirrels in the area. Roe Deer are frequent within the grounds, or you may simply see them passing along the riverbanks to quieter locations, early morning or at dusk.

If you are prepared to sit patiently and quietly down by the river, you may see the otter or the blue glistening flash of the Kingfisher flying along the Burn.

Butterflies such as Orange Tips or Meadow Browns can be seen and an abundance of Dragonflies and Damselflies.

The Birds that frequent our grounds are listed below:

Frequent Birds

Blackbird - Dunnock - Kingfisher - Song Thrush

Blackcap - Goldcrest - Long-tailed Ti* - Sparrowhawk

Blue Ti* - Goldfinch - Marsh Ti* - Tawny Owl

Bullfinch - Great Spotted Woodpecker - Mistle Thrush - Tree Sparrow
