“Really enjoyed my stay at Mistletoe Cottage.”
The property had everything I could require (with perhaps the exception of a “proper” oven) although this wasn’t a major problem.
Considering the proximity of the property to two of Bamburgh’s most popular pubs, I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of noise.
All furnishings were very comfortable, particularly the bed (I do like a firm bed and got one here – lovely!). A few more hangers in the wardrobe would have been appreciated, although again, this is a minor grumble, as there was lots of drawer space.
Free parking in the village can be problematic, but obviously in a village as popular as Bamburgh you wouldn’t want it spoilt by masses of cars everywhere. If you do manage to secure a spot around “The Middle” (green space in the middle of the village) be aware that if you take your car out for the day you probably won’t get a space back before the evening. There is a pay and display car park beneath the Castle (NOT the Castle car park itself).
Back to Mistletoe Cottage itself. It’s perfect base for couples or singles who wish to explore northern Northumberland. It was very clean and tidy had everything I really required, and because the cottage is detached you didn’t get disturbed by much in the way of noise.
I loved Bamburgh, where everything is just a stones throw away. The beaches are stunning, the Castle, magnificent (can be seen quite clearly from the cottage) and I was very sorry that I had to leave at the end of my holiday.
