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.

The welcome basket for us and the welcome pack for the dog is very thoughtful thank you. Perfect location too. We will definitely be booking again.

Lovely lodge and fantastic location. However, heating the water did take a while if we all had showers (4 adults) so may take longer with kids and baths perhaps.

My husband had a fall and fractured his pelvis 6 days before we were due to travel to Northumberland but thanks to the location and facilities at Shearwater Lodge we all had a very enjoyable and relaxing week. We will definitely be back ....
