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.

  • Bruce

    Lots of room for a big family and guests. The house was clean and spacious with plenty to occupy children and in a great location for the village centre. I would highly recommend it.

  • Chris

    A brief stroll to the beautiful Northumberland coast. Clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped. Good welcome pack. Liked it so much we have booked another week.

  • C

    Very well equipped rooms and extremely comfortable beds. We particularly enjoyed the large upstairs sitting room where we spent many happy hours relaxing and playing games. A house that you loved coming home to.
