Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like welcome baskets and the property's cleanliness.

Most guests found the apartment to be clean and well-maintained, though a few noted areas needing more attention, such as cobwebs and bathroom cleanliness. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, hence the high score.

About this property

Bamburgh 3 miles. A wonderful, extremely spacious three-bedroom apartment at Waren Mill, just 3 miles from Bamburgh with its superb sandy beaches, coastal walks, cycleways, golf courses, restaurants and other amenities. Situated in a former Norman grain mill, this fabulous luxury apartment has fittings of the highest quality and has a contemporary feel. The well-equipped and large living area directly overlooks Budle Bay, a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its rare birdlife, and enjoys panoramic views towards Holy Island in the distance. Local attractions within easy reach include the beautiful village of Bamburgh, with its stunning castle, the picturesque fishing village of Seahouses, with its trips to the nearby Farne Islands, and the very popular Alnwick Castle and Gardens. Bay View is a superb base for exploring Northumberland!

The magnificent Bamburgh Castle, set on a basalt crag, dominates this part of the Northumberland coastline and is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to the region. The Castle is home to the descendants of the esteemed Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open from March to October. Bamburgh has other claims to fame, however, most particularly as the birthplace in 1815 of brave Grace Darling, who saved many lives from the wreck of the Forfarshire. The village has a very beautiful parish church, St Aidan's, as well as a number of pleasant pubs, restaurants and independent shops. The region is renowned for its golf courses, its wide sandy beaches and the spectacular Heritage Coast. There are opportunities for serious bird-watching at Budle Bay and the Farne Islands.

    Apart from providing ready access to Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle, if you are a birdwatcher the location is outstanding because many birds are visible in Budle Bay from this property (although the views from the other one were even better!). There is also a small annexe room giving even closer views. The only minus feature is that the estuary can be a bit smelly. Overall the property was spacious, comfortable and well maintained, good for accommodating friends or family.

  • Edward

    The apartment and facilities were amazing with tremendous views accross Budle Bay with Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle in the distance. The apartment was spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard with everything supplied that you could possibly need. Very much a home from home. The apartment information package contained everything needed to ensure that all went well and the recommendations of the owners and previous guests were very useful. The Welcome items of drinks and snacks left for us were a very pleasant suprise and were very generous. We highly recommend this holiday property.
