The cottage is on the one hand well located as it is right in the centre of Bamburgh and literally a stone's throw from pubs and restaurants. One issue some guests might have is that both bedrooms overlook the car park for the building. This is not an issue visually, however, the restaurant below has food deliveries every morning at 6am and the delivery drivers are not quiet and talk loudly whilst delivering. This was not an issue for us, as we are early risers, even on holiday and like to get up and enjoy an early morning walk on the beach, but I know some people who would get rather irritated by the disturbance.

Excellent location on Main Street . Property was comfortable and well equipped having Alexa for music was a nice surprise too and kitchen also very well equipped . Nice smart TV with lots of useful apps catch up Tv etc . Although the apartment was above a very busy bistro did not get disturbed by noise other than the one evening where a noise group of male customers were louder than they should of been . Loved staying in Banburgh had visited the village and castle before but was really nice to stay in the village for the week . Loved walking on the beach and into Seahouses in the mornings . Would definitely be coming back to Northumberland in the near future and would definitely consider staying in this accommodation again very reasonable price in high season .
