Bamburgh is a fantastic location bursting with great places to visit, beginning with the amazing castle, towering over the town and allowing for extensive views of the countryside and beaches surrounding the area. If you love watersports or simply wish to take a relaxing stroll with the sound of the waves, travel down to the beach and feel the sand beneath your toes. Dine out at one of the tasty eateries or sample local produce at the deli or food emporium. Travel a little further to the town of Seahouses and Beadnell for more beaches and coastal walks, or to the fantatsic Holy Island for more historic sites. Enjoy the coast of Northumberland with a stay at Beachcomber Apartment.
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.

leaving me locked in the bathroom for 1hr 45 until the rest of the family returned from grocery shopping and could let me out! There is a dangerously faulty electric socket in bedroom 2 which is an obvious fire risk The general cleanliness was appalling: the dish washing bowl had a layer of mud on the inside which looked as though it had been used to wash muddy boots, all the cutlery & crockery were filthy. We have a dog and therefore are used to pet friendly rentals but the entire sofa was covered in a layer of white dog/cat fur such that we actually had to put covers on to protect our clothing. This is the dirtiest and most poorly maintained property we have ever rented.

The kitchen sink tap wobbles and the cold water comes out of the hot water tap. The kitchen sink drain smelt terrible and on the second day of our stay we had to buy bleach to try and remove the smell (which returned later in our stay). On arrival I would expect washing up products to be made available especially since there is no dishwasher but we had to purchase products to wash up. The sofa in the lounge area is well past itâs sell by date and uncomfortable. We have stayed in self catering accommodation many times but this is the first time we have arrived somewhere and there wasnât even a toilet roll in the bathroom. Bearing in mind the nearest shop is in Seahouses 3 - 4 miles away I feel this is unreasonable. The shower was adequate and provided plenty of hot water but the sealant round the bath was full of mould. Outside the front door of the property one of the paving stones was loose which could be dangerous to someone less steady on their feet. I would return to Bamburgh but not to this apartment.
