“A lovely quiet spot with a path leading onto the beach.”

Great for walking on the beautiful beaches to Bamburgh or further. Very dog friendly. The cottage is comfortable and clean but the bed is only a double and a king size would have been appreciated. The shower needs an upgrade. Enjoyed our stay very much but who is the nosey neighbour in one of the lodges?

“Perfect location great for the dog and the view changes every 10 mins !”

! Beautiful. Sligh and I mean very slight draw backs - neighbours very close so evenings sitting out are not very private and we were worrried about waking them. The kitchen is small and hard to keep clean ! Otherwise perfect

“Excellent location for the beach and walking.”

Small kitchen could do with updating. Tight stairway if you are not too steady on your feet.

“We enjoyed Grayling Cottage very much and the location is fantastic.”

A couple of minor tweaks/things that would have made it more comfortable: 1) the largest plates in the property don't fit in the dishwasher. The rotating arm bangs into them; 2) Another lamp in the sitting room would be nice; 3) The hooks at the back door are great but a couple of larger ones for dog leads and towels would help

“Location is perfect.”

The opportunity to walk on the beach with the dogs literally outside your door is wonderful. Wood burner to die for........

“Stunning location with miles & miles of deserted beach & glorious views.”

Lovely welcome pack & generous start-up supply of wood, kindling & firelighters for the log burner. We choose to cook whilst away so we're delighted with the thoughtful utensils provided & good stock of crockery. On a personal note, we found the double bed to be small, squishy & not comfortable, one of us having to move to a much firmer single to avoid a bad back. It would seem March was particularly cold this year, the bathroom was freezing & despite the wall heater miserable to use. BUT, big bath sheets which was a lovely bonus. Can't fault the location & we miss the views & our beach already.

“Location was amazing, property was as described.”

Exact what we were looking for. Clean and well equipped. Stunning views. Sadly the internet failed, this was not the fault of the property owner and the maintenance team tried their best. The only other slight inconvenience was no salt. I hadn’t thought I would need to bring some but no salt and pepper was provided. We had an amazing holiday and certainly are planning a return trip. We did appreciate the welcome pack, a nice touch!

“Excellent spot - ideal for those travelling with a dog.”

Beautiful clean quiet beaches Cosy cottage, especially with the log burner. We did our shopping in Alnwick before arriving so didn't have the hassle during the week. We walked to Bamburgh twice along the beach as it was so beautiful and relaxing.

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.
