Introduction

The Greenhouse is a terraced four bedroom house located in the Centre of Bamburgh. There is free public parking to the front of the house. The village bus stop is just on the other side of the road to us. There are two stone steps up to the front door from the pavement. The Greenhouse is a two storey building with a wide sweeping staircase to the First floor (13 steps). We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, however, due to the nature of the property this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the house is unsuitable for wheelchair users.

The Greenhouse is located on a level road with a slight downhill walk down to the Castle and the beach. The easiest access to the beach with a pushchair or limited ability is via the first car park off the Wynding road.
