About this property
The Wynding has comfort in mind for all guests,. Boasting spectacular views of Bamburgh Castle and only a short distance from the sandy beach. Making your trip to Northumberland a memorable one.
A beautiful 2 bedroom coastal bolthole just a short walk from the beach and the sea. This charming traditional period holiday cottage retains original features with exposed stone walls and an open fireplace complete with woodburner.
Accommodation is stylish and comfortable with a charming sitting room furnished with Ercol style chairs, a soft grey sofa and artworks displayed on the walls. Upstairs the two bedrooms would suit a family or two couples, both rooms are stylish in their simplicity with whitewashed walls and tartan blankets. This pretty stone built cottage is close to a tennis court, a play park for the children and a cricket ground.
The property is well located for Bamburgh’s shops, cafes, pubs and of course, the beach - all a short walk away. Don’t miss the Grace Darling Museum and of course the iconic Bamburgh Castle. Take a boat trip to the Farne Islands to view sea birds and grey seals from Seahouses (3 miles) and Holy Island and the nature reserve of Budle Bay are both a short drive away.

We had a fab week staying here - the cottage is lovely and in a great location. Despite the listing details there ARE towels provided but weirdly no kitchen cleaning materials (eg surface spray and washing up liquid) which I would expect to find in a holiday rental so take your own! The house is heated via storage heaters and electric heaters which were absolutely fine - didn’t miss central heating at all. Bed was comfy and shower was great. If I was ever headed back to Bamburgh I would look to book again.
