  • "Very nice area and so close to the Beach, our Dog just loved it!"

    Downsides: The Cottage was very cold, there are inefficient Electric Heaters that struggle to keep the place warm, although there was the use of a Wood Burner, after the initial setting the Fire it failed to draw enough air to keep it alight! The Electric Shower was totally inadequate, next to no pressure available! There were no Emergency Contact/Information/Leaflets available, one of us required Medical Care and the First Aid Kit was basically empty!

  • "This cottage and particularly the location is fantastic!"

    The advertising and images do not do it justice and should be updated. I will recommend these cottages to my friends and family without hesitation. The mattress in the double room really does need changing (I notice this has been mentioned previously in other reviews). Apart from that, everything was excellent.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at the cottage."

    The location right next to the beach was fabulous. The cottage itself was comfortable although a little bit tired, the double bed was not particularly comfortable and mattress creaky upon exiting. Some things were well worn, the table had lots of scratches and the chair legs were dangerously wobbly for example, we reported everything we found, but as it said you gad to report everything within 24hrs it wasn't the best start to our holiday thst we had to go round cataloguing everything, so that we weren't blamed for it. We liked the little veranda space, but found other people dogs in the shared space quite annoying, our neighbours dogs were very excitable and barked and jumped up whenever we went out the back, not sure which dog owners it was, but they also didn't pick-up their dog litter straight away which wasn't very nice when we were trying to move across the shared space. I would definitely say the narrow stairs and downstairs bathroom, are not easy to negotiate particularly in the middle of the night. We ended up leaving the bathroom light on, so that we could see to get up and down without waking everyone up. Despite the small issues, we still had a really enjoyable stay.

  • "A truly cute little cottage in a breathtaking location, metres from a beautiful beach, the cottage had everything we needed by way of crockery, cutlery etc and the hosts had left a small welcome package with, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, hot chocolate and a bottle of wine."

    The cottage was clean and comfortable enough but the double bed in master bedroom was very small and mattress wasn't great, so we ended up sleeping separately . The bathroom which is on the ground floor was large with a decent sized bath and plenty of hot water, alas the shower above the bath lacks power.A little toiletries pack would have been a nice touch too. The stair case is incredibly narrow especially the lower steps which twist around so wouldn't be the best to manoeuvre if you had any kind of mobility issues. We loved the inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, but we weren't provided with enough fuel to last even one evening, you can BUY more but the welcome guide asks for 24 hours notice.However positives definitely outweigh any negatives and we would definitely return.

  • "The location is superb."

    However we found the cottage very cramped for space and a little dark. The stairs are not ideal with being so twisty and narrow. The double bed is also very small, which meant we had to sleep in separate rooms. It is also very pet friendly. Not having the bathroom and toilet on same level as the bedrooms is a minus particularly in view of the narrowness of the twisty staircase.

  • "The property was fabulous with everything in it and more for a self catering holiday."

    It was nice and cosy and warm and comfortable. It was perfectly located, only a 2 minute walk to the beach with a fantastic sea view. And awesome sunsets!! It was one of the best holidays we have had. Perfect accomodation, location and so much to see in the area with incredible beaches for sea walks. Cant wait to go back next year!

    The standard throughout was high and we were very comfortable. My friend and I intend re-visiting next year.

  • "An excellent hideaway cottage."

    Peace and solitude. Night skies awesome with no light pollution. Good base for visits to attractions such as Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
