This cosy cottage is perfectly positioned for anyone wishing to visit the Heritage Coast and the Northumberland National Park, home to Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Water, along with its many excellent outdoor activities. 3 St. Cuthberts Garth is a wonderful cottage by the sea, perfect for discovering the numerous delights of this gorgeous county.
Bamburgh is one of Northumberland's most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its sweeping sandy beaches and majestic fortification, Bamburgh Castle. This stretch of the county's coastline is dominated by the castle, which can be seen for miles. It is still home to the family of Lord Armstrong, the prominent Victorian industrialist, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Bamburgh village is lovely, despite being overshadowed by the huge castle, with clean grey stone homes facing a manicured town green. Excellent taverns, hotels with restaurants, and a limited range of village shops may all be found here. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and neighbouring Seahouses, and along the magnificent Heritage Coast, there are additional wide sandy beaches, delightful fishing villages, stunning castles, and coastal islands to explore. A short drive away are a number of other sights, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and Berwick-upon-Tweed, a historic walled border town. A fantastic starting point for exploring Northumberland.

The location is perfect for a young family like ours. Close to the beach and local amenities. A lovely big garden for our boys to play in with the dog safely only slight downside to us was the WiFi. Not good at all and we did contact the people looking after us and it didnât improve but hey ho we tried.

Well located, Bamburgh is small so you're always close to everything, 10/15 minute walk to the fabulous beach, excellent facilities and a brilliant enclosed garden which is perfect for the dog. The only minor issues we raised were dealt with immediately by the management company and were due to a lack of information to be honest. There were no instructions for the cooker hob, the wifi code is in the back bedroom under the router but there's nothing to tell you that. We struggled with a lack of hot water for the four days, again there was no information about the heating/water system. Minor issues which are easily rectified and I'm sure will be. Not many places we'd go back to but this is definitely one of them.
