Tucked on the fringes of Bamburgh, this lovely family home offers the perfect retreat for small families or groups of friends seeking a rejuvenating seaside break. Set back from the main road in a quiet residential zone, this three-bedroom property sleeps five guests and welcomes one well-behaved pup. Bamburgh’s magnificent castle and long golden beach are on your doorstep, with many other attractions within an easy drive. After fun-packed days, this spacious abode offers plenty of room to socialise and relax, including two living areas and a secluded, west-facing garden.
This sprawling, semi-detached holiday home has a relaxed elegance and a subtle nautical theme running throughout the decor. Shrug off muddy boots or sandy shoes in the handy porch, before entering the main living areas. The light-filled lounge/diner invites sociable evenings in, sharing meals around the dining table, then firing up the wood burner and snuggling on the sofas after busy days ofexploring. Double doors lead through to the sun room, where you can curl up on the sofa with your current read or dine alfresco on the patio while the kids and dog play on the lawn. Boasting modern comforts including a Nespresso machine and dishwasher, the sleek, contemporary kitchen leads into the garden and garage, which is fitted with practical laundry facilities. Upstairs, choose between a super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, or double and twin bedrooms that share access to the family bathroom.
Amble over sand dunes to reach Bamburgh’s golden beach, or wander into the village centre to explore a selection of shops and eateries, and discover the magnificent castle. Gorgeous coastal walks abound, with Budle Bay 2.5 miles to the north and Seahouses the same distance south. From here, wildlife enthusiasts can hop on a boat trip to the Farne Island to see nesting seabirds and seal colonies. Accessed by a tidal causeway, the medieval castle and priory on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (16 miles) promise a fascinating day out.
