“Lovely cottage, one of four in the same building, that is perfectly located on the stunning Budle Bay.”

Enough parking for 2 cars per cottage. This cottage is all about the location, which is 50 metres from a quiet beach, with spectacular views across the bay to Lindisfarne. This was a family stay - two adults and two teenagers - and we had a brilliant holiday. It wasn't a negative for us, but the cottage had steep, narrow stairs with an awkward 90 degree turn at the bottom.

This was a family stay - two adults and two teenagers - and we had a brilliant holiday. It wasn't a negative for us, but the cottage had steep, narrow stairs with an awkward 90 degree turn at the bottom. It also only had a downstairs bathroom, so if you aren't particularly mobile and need nighttime trips to the bathroom, then this might be a problem (but wasn't for us). A lovely cottage in a wonderful location and we had a fantastic holiday.

“Lovely cottage and great location next to the beach/sea - ideal if you have a dog.”

The welcome pack was well thought out and plenty of treats for the dog. The enclosed garden was well maintained and nice solid garden furniture. The steep stairs were not as bad as expected. My 83 year old mother could manage them but had to navigate the bottom 4 backwards. A mirror is needed for the twin room. Great stay overall.

“This cottage certainly is in a tremendous location.”

When first renovated it probably was then well worth the price point. Alas, since then regular usage has left it looking tired, in need of a deep clean, and redecorating. It's not up to standards we've come to expect from regular use of Sykes. Scratches on doors, marks on door surrounds, cracks in plaster, leaking taps, gas hob rings not all working, shower screen leaking, mould around bath seal and sink taps, etc. These, and finding kitchen utensils in dishwasher cast doubts on the effectiveness of any claimed pre-occpancy checks. As a constructive comment to Sykes we would suggest making more prominent details regarding steep, narrow staircase access to downstairs bathroom. We left disappointed, feeling we had been overcharged for what would otherwise have been a great holiday.

“The location is excellent - though to block that beautiful view with the additional fences/seating is very sad!”

We appreciated the welcome pack - thank you. The cottage could do with a thorough deep clean; especially the kitchen and bathroom.

“The location of this lovely cottage is fantastic - literally on the beach!”

It’s cosy and well equipped, we were very comfortable there over Christmas. There was a helpful welcome pack with tea, coffee etc and plenty of wood for the stove. The bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are steep as described, but carpeted and with a good handrail. The views from the bedroom are fantastic: you can see Lindisfarne castle.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

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.
