Reviews

It's a great little place, the heating is great and the hot water is endless and instant both from the taps and the shower. The wood burner is a welcome touch but as it says you need to provide your one logs, you will need a lot. They are sold at the garage at the top of the road. The only downside was it's not possible to walk anywhere from the cottage unless you walk on the roads which are windy and narrow so not ideal for safe walking. Is it a great base for exploring. Can highly recommend the Castle pub in Bamburgh.

Mr L,

No problem with the cottage or the area definitely coming back

Mr L,

Thoroughly enjoyed cottage . Couple of minor things which didn't actually bother us . Bedroom TV not functional . No pillow cases

Mr Brian L,

Called the ‘helpline’ at 20.24th on the Thursday. The email said it was available until 21.00hrs. I’m still waiting for a call back Couldn’t make out the cottage mane, obviously it was dark, had to go to the garage to buy a torch Cottage seemed to have a plague of big flies, really off putting- had to buy fly spray Lovely to have all the logs and kindling. Shame there wasn’t a lighter or a box of matches. Wasted an evening of not being able to have a cosy fire

Mr David M,

Location

Bamburgh & Surrounding Area

There’s something to appeal to everyone in and around the village of Bamburgh. The beach is popular with dog walkers,  horse riders, rockpoolers and kite surfers. And there are some beautiful coastal walks - try  Bamburgh to Waren Mill at low tide.

Explore the ancient castle and its grounds (outside spaces are dog friendly) or head to the RNLI Grace Darling Museum to find out how a young local woman and her father saved the lives of stranded survivors of a wrecked steamship. You can even see the boat they used for the daring rescue.

Keen golfers will love the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club as well as the many other good golf courses along this stretch of Northumbrian coast. And food-lovers are also well catered for. Try some of the locally sourced crab in a delicious sandwich, or head to R. Carter and Son butchers on Front Street for the renowned Bamburgh Banger sausages. 

There are cafes, pubs and restaurants aplenty, including The Copper Kettle Tea Rooms, The Potted Lobster, The Castle Inn and The Victoria Hotel. Nearby Lucker also has a superb restaurant and cafe, The Apple Inn and The School House.
