About this property
Mallow Lodge is a contemporary eco-lodge situated in a quarry, with stunning views of the sheer stone walls. With a secluded, south-facing decking area outside and a cosy, open-plan living space indoors, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the dramatic scenery and beaches of Northumberland.
Mallow Lodge is one of a small group of holiday eco-lodges situated within the dramatic setting of Brada Quarry. Northumberland is known for its stunning scenery, and the quarry is no exception, with superb views from the decking and living room, and the magic of nature right on your doorstep.
The exterior decking is south-facing, the perfect spot to catch some sun during a lazy afternoon or evening. Inside the property you’ll find a large, open-plan living area, with panoramic windows from the kitchen looking out onto the quarry. The living space is the perfect place to relax with comfy seating and a wood burning stove as a central feature.
Mallow Lodge puts you in easy reach of some of Northumberland’s most famous and iconic destinations, including Bamburgh with its famous Castle; Holy Island; the coastlines and walking trails. Budle Bay is in walking distance from the lodge, with its beautiful beaches, cycle routes and bird sanctuary. Spectacular countryside and vast open skies are never far away, and a holiday at this eco-lodge will bring you up close to the beauty and majesty of the North East’s unique rural landscapes.
For larger groups, Mallow Lodge is also available to book for six guests, with use of a third bedroom, subject to availability (see separate listing).
Additional Information:
Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Children and infants welcome. Travel cot and highchair available on request.
Walking distance to beach.
The quarry has a steep rock face, but there is a safe, enclosed area for viewing and picnics.
There is no lighting (other than at the lodge door) outside the properties and in the surrounding car park area. This is to avoid light pollution as the area is a dark sky area and perfect for star gazing.
There is no access to the adjacent nature reserve as it is protected, however the variety of butterflies, other birds and flowers are numerous and easily spotted. Fulmars can be spotted next to the Quarry face.

Great accommodation in a beautiful part of England. The views of Bamburgh Castle and the coast are stunning. The accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped. I gave 4 stars as the hamper was a little disappointing and small touches like toiletries were missing and the dishwasher salt was empty. Currently managed by Crabtree and Crabtree and not up to Rural Retreats standard in my humble opinion.

This is the third time of staying at Malliow Lodge. Very comfortable and well equipped in very peaceful surroundings in a lovely location. However, was slightly disappointed this time with the standard of the welcome hamper. I don't know whether it was to do because Crabtree and Crabtree supplied the items, but not up to the usual standard of what Rural Retreats advertise in their write up. A number of items missing which would normally have been provided
