Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean, with spotless conditions mentioned in several reviews. However, a few noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as a dirty sponge and a sticky residue in the kitchen.
The location is consistently lauded for its stunning views, proximity to the beach, and peaceful setting. It is considered a highlight and a strong reason for guests to return.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable by many, with a particularly comfortable bed noted. However, some guests found the cottage cold in winter and the mattress uncomfortable, affecting the comfort score.
While the kitchen is well-equipped, the main concern affecting the facilities score is the repeated mention of poor water pressure and the lack of a shower, which many guests found inconvenient.
There is insufficient information regarding thoughtfulness, such as gifts or extra touches provided by the host, so a score cannot be given in this category.

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 cottage is in a beautiful sport we loved it and would certainly stay there again if we are in the area.

Had been a bit anxious having read some of the reviews (tired/dated bedding, dreadful mattress, bath takes an eternity to fill etc) but that wasn't our experience. Would have been good to specify bring your own washing up liquid (or to have provided some). No instructions on whether to clean out the fire were left. We would have done but the ash bin outside theat front of the cottage was overflowing. Wall cupboard next to kitchen window had sticky residue on a shelf that had to be cleaned before we could put our things in. However, these are all minor things and certainly didn't spoil our time there. Happy to recommend this place.

Well appointed and very clean. Only thing that lets it down is that only the kitchen looks out onto the bay
