Overview
Property code: OC-NB1939

Enjoy the peace and quiet of the Northumberland countryside at this sweet two-storey cottage in a tranquil rural spot, with lovely views all around. You’ll be 1.5 miles from Bamburgh, a beautiful coastal village with a golf club and an impressive castle overlooking a sandy beach. Explore the local cafes, pubs, and restaurants at your leisure (1 mile) or head for long walks along the coastal path, perhaps spotting puffins and seals along the way. With space for up to eight guests and three dogs welcome, this dwelling is wonderful for a family trip or holiday among friends and their offspring.

The property is decorated in a tasteful style with large artwork and a neutral colour scheme. Its impressive open-plan living area, which features a lounge, kitchen, and dining space, is filled with light thanks to triple-aspect windows. You’ll have a wood burner for keeping cosy and plenty of sofa space for your group to spread out. Bi-fold doors lead out to the enclosed garden, where you can soak in the hot tub and socialise on the patio terrace, which is equipped with garden furniture. You’ll also have access to a shared, detached farm building in the courtyard equipped with games facilities and room for dinner parties for up to 24 guests. The adjacent shared tennis court and grass paddock are perfect for games or dog walking.

There’s so much to do nearby, whether that’s water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding on Bamburgh Beach or exploring some of the nearby coastal villages, such as Seahouses (5 miles), Newton-by-the-Sea (9.5 miles) and Embleton (10 miles). At Seahouses, you can board a boat to the Farne Islands, a nature reserve home to over a hundred species of seabirds. The historic market town of Alnwick, whose castle was used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films, is 17.5 miles away.

The Duke was a well equipped house with great downstairs living space. Generous bedrooms each with great en-suites. The tennis court, table tennis, space for football were a great hit with our teenagers. It was disappointing that the bedroom configuration specified on the booking form had been overlooked. So we had to call up (on hold for 10 mins aRead morend cut off twice due to poor phone signal) to ask it was rectified to two twin rooms not 2 doubles for 4 teenagers. After another call, this was prioritised and resolved that evening. Thank you. The stair gate was also missing which we requested due to our dogs. One was provided that night but it didnt fit properly and was inadequate. If we had had toddlers it would have been dangerous as it fell down multiple times every day. More attention to detail on setting up house as per booking details is required. We would stay again but would hope these points would be addressed for future guests. Hide

The Duke Cottage was exceptional. Very new, very clean. Top quality fixtures and fittings. Plus all the facilities you could possibly need including BBQ, charcoal, Wood for woodfire, 2 dishwashers (!), excellent fridge/freezer, etc...Beds were huge and spacious. Each one with it's own ensuite. Cottage was warm, with good privacy, parking right outsRead moreide for several vehicles. In very quiet and convenient hamlet, with beautiful views, but only 20 mins walk from Bamburgh or a 1 mile drive. Cottage also came with local butcher's voucher and golf voucher for Bamburgh golf club. Great welcome pack on arrival too. Thank you. We had a great 60th birthday family celebration. We shall be back Hide
