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.

Furniture comfy, all mod cons in kitchen, in fact, all you need and more. Human and doggy treats really welcome. Love everything about the cottage.

Better than hoped, the property is well equipped, spacious, clean and has everything needed for a lovely holiday by the sea. The close proximity to the sand dunes leading to the wonderful Bamburgh beach is ideal for family holidays. It is also an easy walk to the Castle and village centre with its pubs, restaurants and amenities. We would definitely return to this lovely place.
