  • "We had a really lovely few days saying at the cottage."

    It was a fabulous base with an amazing view and a great garden for the dog. We found it really comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. The views across the sand dunes were beautiful and the location was perfect. A really wonderful place for a break.

  • "A lovely cottage in a great location with everything we needed."

    We were sad to leave and hope to return another year…

  • "Beautiful cottage in a perfect location."

    There were 6 adults and we all had plenty of room. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans and cutlery and all the bedrooms were so comfortable.

  • "This was our fourth or fifth visit to Sand Dune cottage."

    We were pleased with the "smartening up" of the main bathroom and the issue from last year of the lack of power from both showers had been resolved. Also appreciated the new settee. Still disappointed by the gravelly front garden. Very uncomfortable to walk on so we didn`t use the front garden at all. Sat on the bench in the back. We are hoping to book again for next year so would be pleased if the front garden could be improved..

    Even with a bad knee it was an easy walk to the town and castle. Extremely relaxing.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Sand Dune Cottage - the location is perfect for the beach and the centre of Bamburgh."

    Seahouses is also a very short drive for access to larger shops. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could ask for in the kitchen plus things like beach towels, dog bowls, games and books which were a useful addition. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. We made use of the candles on night 1 as there was a long power cut so great to find those. A couple of things we felt could be improved - the microwave makes a terrible noise when in use. The toilet in the main bathroom doesn’t flush properly and this needs attention.

  • "It was our second stay at sand dune cottage and hopefully not our last - the cottage is ideally situated with the beach at your doorstep and pubs and the famous copper kettle tea room less than a ten minute walk away also the bus stop is at the cottages front door ."

    The cottage itself is ideal …. Warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and fully equipped the owners really have thought of everything.

  • "Really enjoyed our stay."

    Cottage was well equipped (especially pleased to see some decent sized wine glasses) and really comfortable and cosy. A wood burner would make it perfect although only for aesthetics as the cottage is really warm and some decent kitchen knives would be useful. Otherwise a really positive stay, customer service was great when we locked ourselves out and it was fabulous being so close to the beach and some terrific places to eat.

    The cottage was just right for our holiday. It was dog friendly with having enclosed front and rear gardens ensuring the dogs could go outside safely.

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.
