Little Haven

About this property

Little Haven is a charming holiday cottage located in the quaint coastal village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. Situated right beside Northumberland Coast AONB, this property is perfect for families and groups who want the best of scenic hiking trails and stunning coastlines. Step into a beautifully-decorated, open-plan living space with a roaring woodburning stove for you to snuggle up by during colder months with a marshmallow-topped hot chocolate as you watch your favourite Christmas movies, a well-equipped kitchen to show off your cooking skills and a dining table for the whole family to enjoy meals around. When the weather is warmer, open up the patio doors and head out to the rear garden with ample lawn space for the children and dog to play and run around and a seating area where you'll enjoy an ice-cold drink as you watch them. In the morning, wake up early and make yourself a cup of steaming tea or coffee, then climb up to the side garden to watch the sunrise over the vast field. Curl up in the small nook on the landing and dive into a book from the small library, and when sleep calls, unwind with a hot bath or shower and slide under the soft linens. Head out to the local village of Bamburgh and enjoy a delightful meal at The Lord Crewe Bamburgh pub, offering views of Bamburgh Castle, savour some local seafood dishes at The Potted Lobster with outdoor seating for those who'd prefer some alfresco dining, then when its sunny, make your way to Bamburgh Beach and lounge on the sand or paddle in the water. Drive to Holy Island, a pint-sized gem with a wealth of eateries and places to see like Lindisfarne Castle, a 16th-century crag-top fortress, Gertrude Jekyll Garden blossoming with beautifully-vibrant blooms, Pilgrims Coffee House & Roastery with its fragrant teas and coffees and decadent desserts, and The Ship Inn Holy Island serving classic British dishes. Come down to the market town of Alnwick and visit Alnwick Castle, one of the UK's largest inhabited castles, and Potterheads see if you can spot where some scenes from Harry Potter where filmed, catch a show at the stunningly-ornate The Alnwick Playhouse and take the children on a magical adventure to Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden, a mystical village with live actors boasting the world's largest play structure! Bring your family year after year to Little Haven.

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.
