Avocet Cottage

About this property

Bamburgh 2.5 miles. Settled into the beautiful Northumberland coastline of Budle, near Bamburgh, Avocet Cottage is a stunning semi-detached cottage ideal for a family and their four-legged friends. After a day spent exploring the local area, settle down in an elegant sitting room, where tall ceilings add an airiness to this space, and you will be drawn to the stylish sofas, warming your feet by the woodburning stove and catch up on your favourite TV shows, or there is the option of a study room filled with books and games for you to enjoy. In keeping with the cottage theme of this property, the kitchen/diner is traditional yet full of all of the home-from-home amenities needed to cook up a storm and offers dining space for six guests. As the evening wears on, freshen up in the family bathroom before settling down for the night in one of the three bedrooms, a king-size with a TV and bay views, a twin with bay views and a second twin, perfect for children. At the rear of the property, you will find a beautiful garden with a lawn, mature trees and a splash of colour added by a selection of shrubs, as well as dining tables and chairs so that guests can enjoy alfresco dining. Budle is a hamlet well known for its stunning sandy beaches, which can be seen from the property, so why not head on down to the shoreline and enjoy a walk with your four-legged-friend? Try out watersports, warming up with a picnic with a view across the ocean, or head into the town of Belford, where you can stock up on essentials. Visit the historic town of Bamburgh where there is a deli, food emporium and local eateries for you to try out as well as a beautiful beach, countryside walks, and the magnificent Bamburgh Castle. From here you can head over to Holy Island where there is a great selection of historic sites waiting to be explored. Make a holiday to remember with a stay at Avocet Cottage.

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.
