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.

The only thing that let it down was a faulty shower. Ran mostly cold with the odd burst of hot water but it definitely got the blood pumping! Everything else was great but this needs looking at.

Wi-Fi and a big new television were very welcome . The sofa still has a sticky patch on it that you canât sit on and it was like that in May 2022 which I had mentioned still the same in Oct 2022 when we went and still the same Oct 2023 . Itâs also is too low to get out off . The thing that lets this lovely cottage down is the bathroom , no enamel on the bath looks dirty . We have friends in bamburgh so get a shower there . I canât understand why this hasnât been addressed . The outside also needs attention it looks unkept only needs rubbish moving and weeding . Otherwise itâs a beautiful cottage and lovely position .

The cottage is in a beautiful place, with beautiful views out to the sea, unfortunately around the cottage is a lot of rubble and pipes and flags, out of the seven days we were there we had no running hot water for four days, had to boil pans of water to get washed and wash pots, the bedroom furniture could do with being updated as they are a bit dated, the bath could do with replacing as the enamel as worn off the bottom and it felt like sitting on rough sandpaper, the water pressure is quite poor also
