An outstanding beach house in a fabulous location set in the dunes… The Boat House has direct beach access with awesome views of Bamburgh Castle and the coastline. This beautiful property is a former lifeboat house… in fact it was the first of its kind in the UK!
Step inside and the interiors are traditional coastal style, immaculately presented throughout with a lovely open plan living space complete with a woodburning stove and a contemporary kitchen. Upstairs the three bedrooms are beautiful… cosy and welcoming with pretty bedding and tasteful coastal touches. Outside there’s a large enclosed garden with table and chairs and direct beach access.
The Boat House is well located for Bamburgh’s shops, cafes and pubs, all just a short walk away. Don’t miss the Grace Darling Museum and of course the iconic Bamburgh Castle.
