Guests say
Ingram Cottage in Bamburgh is praised for its great location, comfort, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the secure garden for dogs, the proximity to local amenities, and the cosy yet spacious interiors. Some guests suggest minor improvements, but the overall sentiment is positive, with many planning return visits.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as spotless and clean. This indicates a well-maintained property that guests find satisfactory in terms of hygiene.
The location is highly commended for being central, quiet, and close to Bamburgh's attractions. Its proximity to restaurants, pubs, and the beach makes it an ideal spot for visitors.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of cosy spaces and comfortable beds. However, some guests noted issues with a stiff door and an uncomfortable second bed, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally good, with well-equipped kitchens and secure parking. Some guests suggest adding shelves in showers and updating non-stick pans, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests mention receiving a welcome with milk, biscuits, and wine, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard practice for every guest.

Bamburgh is a stunningly attractive small village set on the Northern stretch of the Northumberland Coast. It is without doubt dominated by its magnificently striking castle that can be seen for miles around, giving the whole village a somewhat dramatic feeling. You can’t fail to be impressed by the sheer scale of the castle once you are up close and in the village itself. There is much to do in the village alongside the castle and its amazing history, there are impressive stretches of pure golden sandy beaches, many English tea rooms and restaurants, St. Aidan’s Church and a newly renovated museum dedicated to Grace Darling.
Why not hit the waves yourself with a trip to the Farne Islands? Take a boat trip from Seahouses and see the medieval Pele Tower and Victorian Lighthouse, as well as the famous seabird colony. Depending on the time of year, you might catch a glimpse of the friendly seals and puffins that visit the islands’ shores. Golfers flock to Bamburgh, where the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club offers a particularly picturesque round. It’s short but tough, and boasts some of the best views in the country.
A short trip south brings you to the Historic Market Town of Alnwick. You must start your trip at the famous Alnwick Castle, one of the largest inhabited castles in the UK and used as Hogwarts when filming scenes for the Harry Potter films so it’s a must-visit for any fans, with Harry Potter related events organised here throughout the year as well as guided tours. The Alnwick Garden is also an exciting visit with its spectacular interpretation of a formal garden, including the Grand Cascade waterfall, poison garden and largest tree house in Europe where guests can dine in the restaurant. Heading 4 miles east is the picture-perfect coastal village of Alnmouth where there is a gorgeous golden sandy beach, and cosy village pubs and restaurants to stop off at along the way. Start your coastal adventure from the comforts of Ingram Cottage! Beach ½ mile.

Anne Carroll
Very much enjoyed our stay at Ingram Cottage. The upstairs living area (with bedroom and en-suite) is light, spacious and well presented. Downstairs are two further bedrooms and bathrooms together with another separate living and dining area. As there were only two of us, we found the property extremely spacious and can also see it working well for separate groups or families. The outside sitting area is perfect for breakfast or drinks outside and big enough to kick a ball around with our dog. The parking place is right next to the cottage and very useful as parking in the village is soon taken up. The central location is perfect for access to all facilities in the village, and surprisingly quiet at night. Would not hesitate to book again.
