Bamburgh 3.7 miles. Settled into the beautiful hamlet of Lucker, near Bamburgh, this stunning stone-built cottage offers wonderful accommodation for a family or group of adults looking to visit the coast of Northumberland. Park off-road and unpack with ease into this pretty property, where two large arched windows allow in seas of light into a tasteful and airy sitting room. Traditional roof beams rest above a stone fireplace, a hint of history now housing a woodburning stove which you can relax beside in the leather furniture and enjoy a good book. Continuing the charm of the sitting room, the kitchen/diner is simply stunning, with black tiled floors, roofbeams threaded throughout and a contemporary kitchen housing all of the amenities you will need to cook up a storm. Enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles before settling down for the night in one of the tree bedrooms, beginning with a fantastic king-size with storage, tasteful furniture, roof beams and a handy en-suite, and there is also a homely double and twin bedroom. Outside, dine alfresco with the picturesque surrounding cottages at the table and chairs making the most of the sunshine.

Very handy for the many beautiful beaches in the area but also get-away-from-it-all rural areas such as Rothbury and the Cheviots. Goldfinch had a lovely aspect overlooking the church, plenty of parking with the very welcoming Apple Inn literally on our doorstep.

Good pub in the village. It would have been better to know prior to arriving there is an extra cost for the hot tub!
