About this property

Enjoying a restful setting on the fringes of vibrant Bamburgh in Northumberland, Periwinkle is an impressive, single-storey cottage which is perfect for a family holiday or two couples travelling together. Inside, the décor is tasteful and well-presented creating a really welcoming vibe. The living space is truly inviting with ample seating, a gorgeous woodburning stove, wood flooring, attractive soft furnishings and an elegant dining area. You can imagine curling up on the sofa and enjoying each other’s company and spending time eating and drinking at the dining table which is located next to feature sash windows with attractive views. The kitchen is fully fitted with everything you could possibly need to be able to produce hearty food for the whole family and if the weather allows, then you can eat alfresco in the delightful gardens which come complete with lawns and a patio area. When it’s time to go to bed, choose from a double or a twin. Both are stylish and well-presented and a great place in which to lay your heads and recharge your batteries. In the morning, after a quick shower or relaxing soak in the bath, you’re good to go. Bamburgh is within walking distance and as well as a good selection of shops and eateries, boasts a hugely impressive castle. Head off from here and carry on along the Heritage Coastline where you will find miles of sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and breath-takingly beautiful castles. Other towns worth visiting in the region include Alnwick, Seahouses (just a few miles away) and you can even head to the border and visit the ever-popular town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Activities to look forward to in the area include golf, sailing (from Seahouses to the Farne Islands), birdwatching, hiking, cycle rides and horse-riding. Boasting captivating castle views and attractive accommodation finished to a high standard, Periwinkle offers an unforgettable holiday.

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.
