Description

 

Hayloft Cottage is part of the Bamburgh First collection of 12 different dog friendly houses and cottages under the same ownership, with a consistent quality of interior design and attention to detail throughout. The interiors are professionally designed to suit each individual dwelling and the owner has tried to think of everything that will enhance the stay of every guest.

This charming self contained, converted hayloft sleeps 4 people, has an open plan living room with a log burner and well equipped kitchen that even has a NutriBullet and pressure cooker. Hayloft is part of the quiet rural hamlet of Dukesfield, which nestles in fields just outside Bamburgh.

There is a shared paddocked area for barbecuing or kids, adults and dogs to run around in and maybe kick a football. There is also a is a shared tennis court, newly built gym with a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, weight bench and weights, an exercise bike and other sporting paraphernalia and hot tub.

Guests also have access to the Gathering Place which is a renovated large detached old farm building in the courtyard in which there is a Wii and a table tennis table.  This space can also be used for dinner parties of up to 24 people with perhaps different dishes being provided by friends or relatives in different cottages.  It’s a lovely way to have an inexpensive special dinner party with everyone sharing the work. All the cottages at Dukesfield are usually rented individually by guests seeking a tranquil intimate space to spend with friends and loved ones, but sometimes groups of friends rent more than one or even all the cottages for family gatherings, significant birthdays, golf parties and hen parties.

Netflix is included in all Bamburgh First properties as is a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker easy lighting fire logs and a box of games that include Scrabble, Cluedo and Monopoly.  The owner has also provided personal touches such as a hand selected welcome pack, a voucher for a pound of the famous Bamburgh Banger sausages and his own list of the top 21 things to do whilst spending a week in the area.

Guests of Bamburgh First can claim up to two free rounds of golf per property booked at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club - please see below for more information.

Bamburgh was recently a finalist in Channel 4’s UK’s Top Village competition. There you will find a lovely selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, tea houses and cafes as well as one of the most scenic golf clubs in Britain which as a guest of Bamburgh First you can play for free any day if there isn’t a competition on.
