Overview
Property code: OC-587684

Bursting with character and charm, this stylish coastal cottage nestled in the idyllic seaside town of Bamburgh is the ultimate getaway for couples and families keen to explore the Northumberland coastline. Talk a walk through hundreds of years of history at Bamburgh Castle or spend hours building sandcastles on the gloriously golden sand in its shadow.

A chic coastal-style ambience flows throughout this cottage, with a sumptuous rich colour palette and extra-special homely touches creating a soothing atmosphere that invites you to unwind. Follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the sleek and stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to relax tired walking muscles by hunkering down on the plush sofa. Creative minds can experiment with new local flavours in the kitchen and enjoy their efforts over a glass of something chilled with the whole gang seated around the dining table. Two dreamy en-suite bedrooms, which feature crisp linens and a calming colour palette, await weary adventures; one king-size and one twin zip-and-link (can be made up as a king-size). Balance busy days out with some laid-back time, dining alfresco on the patio in the enclosed lawned garden.

Nestled in the heart of Northumberland, the picturesque coastal town of Bamburgh is famed for its stunning beach and breathtaking castle. Standing on an impressive basalt crag, lose yourself in breathtaking views across Northumberland’s coastline from Bamburgh Castle, a mile away. World famous for its medieval religious heritage, explore the 16th-century Lindisfarne Castle (17.5 miles), which at low tide, can be reached on foot via a paved, tidal causeway. Along the coastline, the harbourside village of Seahouses, 3 miles away, boasts boat trips to the Farne Islands whilst Beadnell Bay, 5.5 miles away, offers a variety of water sports including kite surfing, kayaking and wakeboarding.

The cottage was fitted out to a very high standard and was extremely comfortable. In a location where parking can sometimes be difficult, the parking was also good.

Overall the cottage was lovely. It was cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and in a great location. We missed having a teapot and milk jug available to use. We had taken Nespresso pods for the coffee machine, only to find they were the wrong ones. I think the information on your website should make it clear that the coffee machine doesn't uRead morese regular Nespresso pods, as it's impossible to buy any others locally. We had to go and buy ground coffee for the cafetiere instead. As for the price; we regularly rent cottages of a similar standard or larger in Norfolk, but pay 200-300 less for a weekend. The prices around Northumberland are much higher than we would expect them to be. Hide

We've stayed at number 7 before - this time we stayed at number 8 - we were disappointed not to have a welcome hamper! We were concerned about the standard of repair/security to the windows throughout the cottage - the window hinge in the bathroom was broken and it was not possible to secure the window at all - none of the windows had any kind of lRead moreock or limiter on them - therefore it was not possible to have the windows open at night and obviously the cottage was not/is not very secure!

A very comfortable and clean cottage. Very roomy for four people. Very well-equipped kitchen with quality items. The bedrooms were very comfortable. A few small points: The cutlery was not made to hold properly; rounded handles are a fad. Bathrooms were adequate although the Victorian mixer taps and overhead shower in the double bedroom would be bRead moreetter if they were more modern design with a moveable shower hose and simple mixer, rather than adjusting between hot and cold to get the right temperature. In character but not utilitarian. The settee is not made for sitting on for long periods, it tends to slide the sitter forward. Hide

It was a bit awkward in the kitchen to not have a teapot available. If you wanted to make tea, one had to use the only jug, en there was no other jug for milk left. Pouring warm milk out of the little pots was always messy. We would have rather had less vases/objects around but a teapot/more jugs. The location of the property on a busy road during Read morethe day meant a lot of noise while sitting in the front garden. Sadly there was no space to sit behind the property. That effects the value for money score. The property was new but it was evident that wear and tear or poor quality installations/fittings are starting to become apparent: the outside door handle came off (coastal retreats informed of this), or e.g. the bathroom window is not closing properly (will be an issue in winter), the front gate did not close properly. Also sad to see that nobody was looking after the property on a regular basis as all buxus bushes in the pots had died of lack of water. Hide
