About this property
A pretty stone-built cottage within an ideal location for visiting the history and heritage of Northumberland, Elliot Cottage rests in Bamburgh and is ideal for a family or group of adults. Park off-road and be welcomed by this charming property and settle down into a sitting area with high ceilings and seas of natural light encouraging you to pick up a good book and relax beside the open fire in one of the stylish pale sofas. The cottage feel of the sitting area is continued into the kitchen, where there is a handful of great amenities for you to use, as well as a dining area. On the ground floor you will also find a shower room, and three first-floor bedrooms await your relaxation, including two doubles and a twin, each with homely décor and historic features. Enjoy a coffee outside in the courtyard amongst the mature trees and fresh air, before heading out to see what’s in store for you today! Bamburgh is a fantastic seaside location with a range of eateries for you to try out, and a deli selling samples of local produce. As well as a stunning sandy beach, Bamburgh has a magnificent castle which towers over the local scenery. To explore the coast more, head over to Seahouses where you can enjoy Serenity Farne Island Boat Tours, or visit the amazing Holy Island, with its famous Lindisfarne Priory, castle and selection of museums, countryside walks, beaches and eateries. Make the most of your stay with Elliot 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.

It was authentically welcoming, from the cozy living room to the lovely, quiet bedrooms with extremely comfirtable beds. I loved the kitchen; to actually enjoy making breakfast and cooking elaborate dinners every day on a holiday is testament to how good the facilities were. Sometimes it's the simple things that make the difference, and for me the joy of the kitchen was being able to listen to Radio 2 all the time (which i really miss, living overseas). All on all, my family and I truly loved our stay in Elliot Cottage, a little gem located in a stunning setting of my native Northimberland.

Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Comfortable sitting room. House information book should say electric switch for TV is behind curtain, this was only found after much searching. Beds comfortable. Only discovered on last evening, only one loo role provided. As they no longer provide a bottle of wine, perhaps an extra loo roll would be a good option and not an expensive one. Key lock needs replacing. Was told by neighbour last visitors also had problems with it. Direction guide to get to property is incorrect. The road number quoted is B1342 but the description is for B1341. This has been noted by a previous visitor but not changed. Lastly the bathroom is fine but could the cord for hot water be lengthened. In present state it requires you to climb on the lavatory. I wondered why there were marks on the toilet seat but soon discovered why. I understand it's a small property but would have liked a washing machine.
