About this property
Bamburgh 3 miles. A wonderful, extremely spacious three-bedroom apartment at Waren Mill, just 3 miles from Bamburgh with its superb sandy beaches, coastal walks, cycleways, golf courses, restaurants and other amenities. Situated in a former Norman grain mill, this fabulous luxury apartment has fittings of the highest quality and has a contemporary feel. The well-equipped and large living area directly overlooks Budle Bay, a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its rare birdlife, and enjoys panoramic views towards Holy Island in the distance. Local attractions within easy reach include the beautiful village of Bamburgh, with its stunning castle, the picturesque fishing village of Seahouses, with its trips to the nearby Farne Islands, and the very popular Alnwick Castle and Gardens. Bay View is a superb base for exploring Northumberland!
The magnificent Bamburgh Castle, set on a basalt crag, dominates this part of the Northumberland coastline and is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to the region. The Castle is home to the descendants of the esteemed Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open from March to October. Bamburgh has other claims to fame, however, most particularly as the birthplace in 1815 of brave Grace Darling, who saved many lives from the wreck of the Forfarshire. The village has a very beautiful parish church, St Aidan's, as well as a number of pleasant pubs, restaurants and independent shops. The region is renowned for its golf courses, its wide sandy beaches and the spectacular Heritage Coast. There are opportunities for serious bird-watching at Budle Bay and the Farne Islands.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations, offering a cosy, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Likewise, the 'welcome pack' was impressively generous, filled with thoughtful treats. We had a most comfortable stay at Bay View. Thank you.

We had stayed in another apartment within Waren Mill before, but found the ground floor room with additional storage space and the use of Jetty View, for bird watching and reading, great additions to our stay.
