About this property

Just a short walk from the beautiful sandy beach of Bamburgh in Northumberland, Rokeby offers impressive accommodation which is the ideal destination for a family holiday. Inside, the property has been finished to an impeccably high standard and promises guests a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The open-plan living area is a wonderful space in which to spend time with a spacious sitting area inviting guests to take a seat and enjoy spending time together, a fully fitted kitchen complete with a breakfast island and a stylish dining area where people can take a seat and look forward to long and leisurely meals together. The conservatory offers a fantastic alternative space for guests to socialise or to curl up with a book and enjoy some ‘me’ time. The gardens are another great space, so if the weather allows then there are lawns for children to run around and a delightful patio area where the grown-ups can take a seat and chill out. All the bedrooms are elegant and well-presented and guests can choose from two doubles and a twin. They are easy to access with the accommodation being spread over the ground-floor and offer the perfect place to lay your weary heads after a tiring day of exploring. Talking of exploring, the delights of Bamburgh are on the doorstep so check out the village which has a good range of amenities and a stunning castle for which it’s best known. 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. For a memorable holiday in a superb coastal setting, Rokeby has it all.

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.
