In a convenient spot in Bamburgh, this first-floor apartment with big views makes a bright and stylish base for couples or a small family. It sits within an elegant Edwardian building that forms part of a boutique collection of apartments. You’ll be close to everything that makes this coastal village so special, with shops, cafes, restaurants, the Grace Darling Museum, and Bamburgh Castle all within 0.5 miles – a dog-friendly beach is also less than 1 mile away.
This roomy dwelling has a characterful look and feel. Step through your front door into a bright kitchen/diner with smart cabinetry, a breakfast table for four, and everything you need for relaxed holiday cooking. Five steps lead up to the lounge/diner where you can sink into comfy seating around an open fire and enjoy the Smart TV, stereo, boardgames, and children’s toys. The dining nook is nestled in a bay window with views through the trees to the historic church and iconic Holy Island. A cosy study area with bookshelves and room for a dog bed sits off the lounge. The first bedroom, a restful twin, has lovely sea views, while further along the hall is the super-king-size bedroom which gets the morning sunshine – along with distant sea views. The family bathroom includes a shower over the bath. Head outside to the south-facing shared garden, safely enclosed and equipped with a picnic table and a summerhouse. Guests also benefit from ample private parking.
Nearby, Seahouses (3 miles) is the jumping-off point for boat trips to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands, while Budle Bay (1.5 miles) is a favourite for birdwatchers. For a memorable day out, drive to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (12.5 miles) – be sure to plan carefully, as you’ll need to time your crossing with the tides.
