Guests say
Lower Bamburgh View is a well-equipped and comfortable cottage praised for its excellent location in the heart of Holy Island village. Guests appreciate its warmth, cosiness, and proximity to local amenities and attractions. While some minor issues with maintenance and cleanliness were noted, the overall experience is one of a tranquil and enjoyable stay, with the property serving as a great base for exploring the island.
The cottage received mixed reviews on cleanliness. Some guests found it comfortable and clean, while others noted issues with dust, dirt, and bathroom cleanliness. The negative comments suggest room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for being central, close to amenities, and offering easy access to local sites. Its position within the village and proximity to attractions like the abbey and pubs contribute to a high score.
Guests found the cottage to be warm, cosy, and generally comfortable, especially during the winter. However, some mentioned that the beds could be more comfortable and the bathroom placement was inconvenient, slightly lowering the score.
The property is described as well-equipped with necessary 'mod cons' and a pleasant atmosphere. However, issues like a leaking kettle, unclear heating instructions, and sound insulation problems indicate that some facilities could be better maintained.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Lower Bamburgh view is literally in the centre of the village and is a stone’s throw from the shops and pubs, so you’ll not go hungry or thirsty. The excellent eating places on the island get booked up well in advance during busy periods. We recommend that you book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Berwick is around a 15 minute drive and is the nearest large town in the area.
The varied range of activities through Northumberland and the nearby Scottish Borders is massive and whether its sea kayaking, diving, hill walking or beaches or even riding a bike over hills or through woods, the list is endless. The Island with the Priory and nearby Bamburgh with the castle are ’Must do’s’ - don’t forget your camera!
Free WiFi
Please note there may be occasional noise from the upstairs apartment.
If you are planning to have food delivered for your stay both Asda and Tesco provide this service to the island.

This cottage is in an ideal position, its warm (important in December) and comfortable. We loved staying here, however even taking the tides into consideration, a check out time of 9am is very early, especially as you cant check in until 5pm.
