About this property
A stylish, contemporary cottage in the Northumberland village of Bamburgh, this sizeable holiday home is perfect for that group getaway. Sleeping eight guests, and welcoming four-legged friends, it is well situated for the local shops and eateries and just 0.5 miles from the sandy beach. Swim, surf or picnic in the dunes at the beautiful beach. From here, stride out for 3 miles along the Northumberland Coast Path to Seahouses, with its shops, eateries and harbour with seal and puffin cruises, as well as trips out to the Farne Islands. Stroll 350 metres from the cottage to visit the Grace Darling Museum or 0.5 miles to explore Bamburgh Castle, often described as England’s finest coastal fortress. This dramatic building famously appeared as Bebbanburg in the TV show The Last Kingdom. Plan a day trip to the charming market town of Alnwick, 16.5 miles away, to discover the historic castle there too.
Open the front door and step into the hall to discover bright, airy accommodation arranged across three storeys. Hang your jackets and slip off your shoes before wandering through to the lounge, with its subtle, coastal colour scheme, to sink back into a comfortable chair or soft sofa. Light the wood burner in here, then catch up on everyone’s news or find a good movie on the Smart TV. Bi-folding doors from the lounge can be pulled back onto the kitchen/diner to bring a sense of increased flow and easy living between the two ground-floor spaces. There is also a second lounge or snug, with an additional TV, plus a DVD player and DVDs to choose from, that the younger members of your party might enjoy. The chic kitchen/diner encompasses everything you are likely to need to help you prepare your holiday meals. Cook up a feast, pull a bottle of chilled white wine from the fridge, then gather round the table to dine. There is also a handy breakfast bar in here for light meals and snacks. Pull the bi-folding doors back onto the south-facing garden to create seamless indoor/outdoor living on warm days. There is also a handy utility room and a downstairs WC. Your inviting bedrooms are arranged over the upper storeys of the house. These include one super-king-size, with an en-suite bathroom, and two king-sizes on the first floor. One king-size room has beds that can also be made up as 2’ 6” singles, if discussed in advance, and one has an en-suite shower room. These gorgeous bedrooms all offer superb storage. There is also an immaculate family bathroom. Another twin room, with a sloped ceiling and skylight windows, is on the top floor.
Soak up the sunshine out in the neat courtyard garden, where there is a patio and a small lawn. Grill on the BBQ, dine under the stars and let your delighted dog wander about. There is private, off-road parking for three cars, plus a bike rack, to the front of the cottage.
