Dryden Cottage

About this property

Nestled into the rural outskirts of Bamburgh, Dryden Cottage is ideal for a family or two couples looking to enjoy the countryside and coast of Northumberland. With fantastic views of the magnificent Bamburgh Castle, and off-road parking, unpack with ease into this lovely stone-built single-storey cottage, settling down into an airy sitting room featuring tasteful leather sofas, wooden flooring and an electric fire stove. When mealtimes call, an amply fitted kitchen decorated in sage houses many amenities to cater to your culinary needs, and you can enjoy your meal in the dining room. Two bedrooms with homely decor and plenty of storage offer a place to cosy up for the night, including a double and a king-size zip-link that can be set up as a twin on request, and both are accompanied by a shower room. Enjoy extensive countryside views and the castle in the distance from the outdoor sitting area, ideal for alfresco dining. Bamburgh is a wonderful historic town offering an incredible sandy beach, so why not enjoy a walk in the salty air or try out wild swimming, before ending your day in one of the local eateries with a glass of your favourite beverage? There is a selection of coastal walks nearby, however, a visit to the incredible castle is a must. Further from the property you will find Holy Island with its famous Lindisfarne Priory, castle, a selection of eateries and two museums. Explore the heritage of Northumberland with a stay at Dryden 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.
