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.

    We managed to park in the small area in front of the property .What sad people . We would suggest you check out these lets, as we found it very distasteful.At least the weather was good.We would like some reply to this feedback.

  • Elizabeth

    It was very clean and the welcome pack was appreciated. On a very small note, there was no visitors book - which always makes interesting reading, and it felt that things hadn’t been updated since Covid restrictions. Other than that we had a good stay. Thank you.

    Fantastic bathroom and shower. Everything you need is provided the gift bag of goodies was highly appreciated. Only wish would be if the garden was gated so our doggy could go in the garden without her lead . Best cottage we have ever stayed in. Hoping to return again . Also found a lovely pub in Belford The Salmon lovely staff and delicious food.
