  • Traditional cottage in Bamburgh providing a family-friendly stay

  • Half a mile from to the iconic Bambugh Beach and Northumberland Coast Path

Property code: OC-GD1290

Set in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with golden sandy beaches and the dramatic Bamburgh Castle on your doorstep, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy during your getaway. Settle into this homely and contemporary two-bedroom cottage with your small family or partner and spend cosy evenings by the fire, enjoy a BBQ in the garden or treat yourself to a soak in the bath.

Enter this single-storey property and unwind in the bright lounge/diner filled with wooden furnishings, a central wood burner and neutral tones throughout. Warm your toes while you watch a movie and gather around the wooden dining table for special meals with your loved ones. Continue into the compact kitchen to find a farmhouse-style ‘U’-shaped fitted unit kitted out with a convenient washing machine. Down the hallway is a bathroom with a shower over the bath and two bedrooms – a double and a twin. To the rear of the property, you’ll find an enclosed garden where you can fire up the BBQ while soaking up views of the dunes and Bamburgh Castle.

During your stay on the outskirts of the charming village of Bamburgh, stroll into the centre (0.5 miles) and stop at the quaint tearoom, seafood restaurant or museum. Delve into the history of the area with an audio tour around the ocean-fronted Bamburgh Castle (0.5 miles). Wander through the dunes and onto the pristine sandy beach (1 mile) before walking along the waterfront until you reach Bamburgh Lighthouse and Stag Rock (1.5 miles). Golfing fanatics can spend an afternoon at the golf club (1.5 miles) or if you’re up for an adventure, catch a boat from Seahouses Harbour (3 miles) to the Farne Islands – where you can find the Puffins Rookery.

Very impressed .The holiday home very clean and had everything you needed ,even special little touches like biscuits and wine.It was very central for everything; you didn't have to use the car a lot you could walk into Seahouses. Bamber had lots of beer gardens you could take dogs and lovely food.Beaches are perfect. We will definitely be back.

The cottage was great. The pre arrangements were not great unfortunately. There was confusion about the possible room configurations and promises to call back/ contact us that didnt happen. Though the holiday was excellent, the owner and cleaning teams provided a wonderful experience the office experience was not at the same level.

This cottage was wonderful, it had everything you could need - clean, comfortable, spacious with it's own parking space and a garden and across the road from the beach - what more could you ask for? We would definitely want to stay again in the future but now we see we are not able to because we cannot bring our little dog as the cottage is no longRead moreer dog friendly,which is so disappointing.

Home from home with some lovely touches- bottle of wine and nice biscuits on arrival, even emergency wet and dry dog food. The location of the cottage was superb, near enough and far enough from the centre of Bamburgh, short walk to the beach across the sand dunes. Nothing not to like.
