The Old Reading Room is a detached stone built cottage situated right in the heart of the picture postcard coastal village of Bamburgh. Tucked up a small, private lane, this quaint property was built in the early 1800s and originally used as an infant school. It then became the reading room for the village and finally a doctor’s surgery. The Old Reading Room now provides self catering holiday accommodation where restaurants, tea rooms, shops and pubs are all a mere gentle stroll away. Visit the interesting Grace darling Museum close by or amble down to the glorious expanse of golden sands only a few minute’s walk from The Old Reading Room.

This was our 4th time in this cottage. The only thing we missed was a bread knife (i.e. a serated edge). Everything else was fine. Considering how close it is to a main road, it is extremely quiet. Close to the beach.Our particular love, the excellent cakes and ice cream, just across the road.
