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 awesome scenery, and the quarry is no exception, with superb views from the decking and living room, and with nature right on your doorstep.
The exterior decking is south-facing, the perfect spot to catch some sun during a lazy afternoon or evening, and there’s a pizza oven and barbecue as well as a wood burning stove, so you can enjoy an al fresco meal then while away the evening hours keeping warm and snug. 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 of an evening, with comfy sofas 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 Castle and the Holy Island. 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.

Attractions and nearby amenities
Northumberland is known for its castles, so while you’re here make sure you visit what some consider to be the most picturesque. Bamburgh Castle stands guard over the North Sea from a rocky plateau. There are 1,400 years of history to discover right here.
Alnwick Castle is a great day out too. The Gardens were lovingly restored by the Duchess of Northumberland, and contain fascinating features like the Poison Garden. While you’re in Alnwick, make sure to pop into Barter Books, the nation’s biggest second-hand bookshop and the place where all those ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ posters originated from.
If you’re still hungry for castles, Lindisfarne is a spectacular destination. The Holy Island seems steeped in time – monks lovingly crafted the Lindisfarne Gospel here in the 700s, and people still come on religious retreats here today. Make sure to time your visit well – the island gets cut off from the mainland at high tide!
One of the North East’s best kept secrets are the beaches that stretch for miles along the North Sea. Bamburgh, Embleton and Beadnell are all within driving distance of Mallow Lodge.
Northumberland is mountain country and there’s plenty of high spots to choose from. The Cheviot Hills are breathtaking, and walking the ridges you can feel that you’re the only soul in the world. The waterfall of Linhope Spout plunges 18 metres to a pool below, and makes quite a racket!
If you get a buzz out of buzzards or want to catch an oystercatcher, then Budle Bay is well worth a visit. Both migrants and natives flock here throughout the year, and there’s always plenty to see. There are binoculars you can borrow at Mallow Lodge.
