Midwood Lodge – Family-Friendly Coastal Cottage in Alnmouth, Northumberland

Midwood Lodge is a beautiful coastal holiday cottage in Alnmouth, set in a peaceful and private location within this charming Northumberland village, famous for its long stretch of golden sandy beaches. All on one level, this family-friendly self-catering accommodation is ideal for guests looking for a relaxing seaside escape.

Surrounded by a large woodland garden, Midwood Lodge enjoys a secluded setting with two patio areas and a fantastic tree house for children, making it a perfect choice for families. The garden is shared with the neighbouring Cottage, and guests can enjoy a wide selection of indoor and outdoor toys. Despite its tranquil position, the cottage is just a 5-minute walk to Alnmouth beach, the marina, and the picturesque village centre.

We are proud winners of the “Hidden Gem – North East” Award (2018), recognising the Lodge as a truly special place to stay.

Comfortable Accommodation for Families & Groups

Midwood Lodge comfortably sleeps up to five guests across two bedrooms, making it ideal for families. When booked alongside the adjoining Cottage, the properties can be opened up to create one large holiday let, perfect for larger family gatherings or group stays in Alnmouth.

The spacious lounge features a cosy wood-burning stove, with free logs and kindling provided, and offers ample seating for up to nine guests—ideal for socialising or family celebrations. Guests can also enjoy free Wi-Fi and Netflix throughout their stay.

A bright and sunny conservatory overlooks the garden and patio area, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a day exploring the Northumberland coast. A large, secure garden shed is available for guests wishing to store bikes, golf clubs, or outdoor equipment.

Ideal Location for Exploring Alnmouth & Northumberland

Midwood Lodge is perfectly located close to Alnmouth beach, local golf courses, and the village park. Alnmouth itself offers excellent restaurants, traditional pubs, cafés, and independent gift shops, all within easy walking distance.

The Lodge is an ideal base for exploring Northumberland’s top attractions, including:

Alnwick Castle and Alnwick Garden – just 10 minutes’ drive

Bamburgh Village and Castle, home to the Grace Darling Museum

Lindisfarne (Holy Island) – steeped in Anglo-Saxon history

Miles of stunning coastal walks and unspoilt beaches

For golf enthusiasts, nearby courses include Alnmouth Village Golf Club, Warkworth, and Foxton, while cyclists and walkers will appreciate the many scenic routes in the area. We proudly hold Visit Britain awards for Families Welcome, Walkers Welcome, and Cyclists Welcome.

Excellent Transport Links

Alnmouth benefits from its own mainline railway station, with regular direct services south to Newcastle and Durham and north to Edinburgh, making it ideal for car-free holidays or day trips.

A little further afield, Beamish Open-Air Museum in County Durham offers a fascinating insight into life in North East England during the 1820s, 1900s and 1940s and is well worth a visit.

Comfy lodge in a great location.

We loved that we could walk into town for a meal with no worries about driving and parking. The lodge is spacious and very comfortable for the two of us. Christine was helpful and solicitous. There is a delightful welcome assortment of goodies, which set the tone for a relaxing stay.

Wonderful clean, spacious, warm family home

We went with our toddler and we all were incredibly comfortable. There were jigsaws, books, DVDs to watch. The garden was regularly visited by birds. There was a playground just down the village (and down lover's walk). It was very restful and pleasant. The house had lots of information available about the heating and bins etc. Plenty of kitchen equipment too. Fabulous place to stay - we'll be coming again!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We will pass on your kind comments to all the team who help us at the Cottages. It is great to know that there is lots to do for little ones and that you all enjoyed the village park and the toys in the Lodge. It is so pretty to see the boats in the estuary from the park and the beach is just a short walk past 'Lovers Walk'. Please do come back any time, you are all more than welcome. Best Wishes Christine and Louise ;)

Lovely stay in very comfortable accommodation

Midwood lodge was spacious and bright, very well appointed and spotlessly clean. A large garden to relax in and off street parking was a bonus. Less than 5 minutes walk in to Alnmouth High street, with a good selection of places to eat and a very friendly post office come general store. The owner left a very generous welcome basket which included a home made cake. All in all , highly recommend.

The personal touches meant so much!

Midwood Lodge was in a fantastic location, close to the train station and the main road running between Alnwick and Amble etc so less likely to get lost! Only a few minutes walk from several pubs and places to eat in Alnmouth. The lodge itself was very modern and comfortable, well laid out, spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our weekend. Christine and Lousie left us a lovely welcome pack of delicious goodies which was just what my friend and I needed after a four hour drive! Very personal which was very thoughtful and not something I've experienced from many rental properties. They gave us loads of information on the local area, things to see/do before our arrival via email which was very helpful and the lodge had lots of brochures/leaflets also to read. We couldn't recommend Midwood lodge enough and have raved about our stay since we got home, hopefully get back to Northumberland later this year as we only scratched the surface of what it has to offer.

Beautiful lodge, beautiful area and great hosts 5/5

Midwood lodge is a fantastic place to stay. From arriving we were made to feel welcome by Christine and Louise. The welcome pack and small Christmas gifts for the children made our stay even more special. The lodge is beautiful and has everything you could ask for. The kids loved the tree house, games and toys provided and so did we. I definitely recommend this lodge as a base to stay when exploring the lovely Alnmouth and surrounding Northumberland xx Thanks for making our stay great Thomas's Yorkshire

Wonderful Holiday Cottage by the sea

We had a fantastic stay in Alnmouth. The Cottage is extremely well equipped with a cosy wood burning stove.(Free fuel was provided.) We have a great walk along the beach on a gloriously sunny afternoon. Would highly recommend the property to families as there is a huge garden with tree-house. Plenty of parking too. We will definitely come again. Thank you very much. Philip S Newcastle upon Tyne

About the host

Hosted by Christine Storey

The Storey family love sharing the property with guests and try to make it a home from home. We always leave a lovely welcome pack for guests to enjoy and provide tea and coffee and homemade cakes.
We have wonderful memories of seeing our children grow up and have fabulous photographs of children playing football on the beach and beautiful village scenes through the seasons.
And the garden often has birdlife for visitors to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We love the village of Alnmouth and the privacy that this property gives with lots of outdoor space and parking which is rare in the village. The huge garden is such a pleasure as we live close to the city, which have much smaller gardens.
The tree house is wonderful for children to play in. We have a big shed which guests can use for storing bikes and walking gear.

What makes this property unique

It is lovely for families as it is all on one level and we have lots of awards including:
Families Welcome, Walkers Welcome, Cyclists Welcome
We have awards for family friendly, with indoor and outdoor games. We also have our own Tarzan swing in the garden as well as a wonderful tree house.
We are very proud to announce that we won the "Hidden Gem" Northeast, award for 2018.
