For a seaside holiday in a stylish setting, stay at this three-bedroom apartment with stunning sea views over Budle Bay. You’ll be 2 miles from Bamburgh, with its ancient sea-facing castle and independent eateries and shops to discover. In the distance, you can see Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, located 13.5 miles away and accessible at low tide via a causeway. This must-visit destination is known for its traditional pubs, abbey and castle ruins and beautiful sandy beaches.
The second-storey dwelling, which you can access via stairs or lift, is within a listed former grain mill. Inside, the open-plan living area features large windows and window seats so you can really make the most of those views. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, and there’s a breakfast bar as well as a dining table for eating and snacking. When you’re worn out from being a tourist all day, sink into the sofa and settle down with a film and a glass of wine. You’ll also have access to a shared lawned area complete with garden furniture, where you can enjoy a cuppa or a nightcap in the fresh air.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the numerous walking trails leading from your front door, including a coastal path directly to Bamburgh, where golfing fans can enjoy a scenic round. You’ll be within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so expect to be wowed by the scenery. This stretch of heritage coast, with its tidal mudflats, is a sanctuary for migrating sea birds and wildlife – if you’re lucky, you’ll spot seals and puffins during your trip.
