“Returning for a third visit, the property remains very good - back to excellent when radiator near rear door fixed?”

All worked as expected and one can only enjoy the location!

“Kittling Cottage is an absolute gem.”

Views from the cottage picture window over Budle Bay are breathtaking. In my opinion the description of this cottage on the website does not do it justice. It is clean, comfortable, well equipped, and in the perfect setting - what more could you ask for!

- Lynne, June 2024

Lynne thank you for the lovely feedback. Will sort fridge door shelf. Thanks Property Owner

“Fabulous location with amazing views over Budle Bay and Lindisfarne.”

Also easy access to the sandy beach. Cottage very well equipped and well looked after. Highly recommend. Nearly forgot to mention the stunning sunsets.

A beautiful area too.

“The owner got in touch with us prior to us getting there, seemed a really nice guy, he told us the washing machine was broken but he hoped to fix it before we arrived using local tradesmen.”

On the Wednesday prior to leaving we contacted him to say the washing machine was still broken and the dishwasher had now stopped working. He told us it was an old one and needed replacing. He replaced both on the Friday morning! So we had no washing machine and no dishwasher for most of the week. The pictures of the cottage are very deceiving as it does not show that it is a semi detached and that there is a public footpath to the side of the property, we had numerous people walking past so of privacy there was none. The picture also doesn’t show how tiny the rear garden is, it measures approximately 10 foot square. The front garden with a washing line is shared by two adjoining cottages so it’s impossible to hang out your washing. The walk to the beach which is as says around 600 metres is great to it, on the way back you have to be an active Walker as the route is very steep. The furniture is very dated and quite uncomfortable. To sum up it is not the best cottage we have stayed in In the area and we would not recommend this cottage to our family and friends.

“Cottage 10/10, only problem is the access road from the main road which is full of some serious potholes, otherwise still 10/10.”

“Lovely cottage , comfortable and plenty of room for our party of 6 to socialise.”

Well equipped kitchen and fabulous window seat looking over budle bay. The patio/ garden is small but the view really more than makes up for that, and it was great to have a gas bbq. We were a bit worried that the 3rd bunk bedroom was not shown in the photos but that was absolutely fine. We were blessed with good weather so had no need for the heating or fire . The surrounding countryside and beachs are simply stunning . We were a couple travelling with four older teenagers and 2 dogs and everyone in our party loved it. Especially the sunset beach walks , swimming , star gazing ! I Would highly recommend kittling cottage it a great location and really has everything you need for a family holiday, we definitely hope to return .

“A lovely presented property in a fabulous location.”

The view from the living room alone is worth the visit. I will have absolutely no hesitation in booking it again next year.

“Kittling Cottage is in a beautiful location, the overall facilities and general cleanliness were good.”

The one thing that let the cottage down was the outside area at the back of the cottage. The bushes were overgrown, lots of weeds and some of the furniture was old and broken. It’s such a good space but needs a good tidy up. It was a shame as we had gorgeous weather and it wasn’t the comfiest area to sit in and enjoy the wonderful views and sunshine!

“This has to be one of the best locations we have ever stayed in!”

The view is simply fantastic, picture perfect! The access to the beach is quick and easy. Beautiful scenery by day, and an amazing open fire by night! You also have very quick access to the costal road and the A1, yet you are in the middle of country side and wild life, with some of the best costal views. All fuel provided and instructions are provided a lovely cosy cottage, with plenty of space for the 6 of us. It also had a lovely light throughout and was fairly private. The photos don’t do it justice. Great wifi signal and very convenient parking next to the cottage. I would highly recommend this cottage to everyone! Simple brilliant!

Thanks for a lovely review we hope to see you again. Property Owner

“As a return booking we were just as pleased with all the facilities.”

That the weather was more typical than last year we lit the fire and that was as delightful. Thank you

“A great place to stay.”

The view over Budle Bay is magnificent. Easy walk to the beach from which you can walk to Bamburgh. The place has a quiet magic. Only downside is the electric storage heater system which barely coped during come really cold February weather. Open fire was enjoyable but limited in terms of heat. Pack warm clothes and enjoy the area in comfort!

“The cottage is perfectly sited for dog walking being only 400m from the beach in Budle Bay.”

The walk to Bamburgh through the golf course is a great way to work up a thirst to quench in the local pubs, which also do excellent food.

“We had a lovely week at Kittling Cottage.”

The beds were comfortable, the view from the picture window in the lounge was amazing including the sunsets. The cottage was well equipped in a quiet location and close to a lovely beach. Close to the fantastic Farne Islands for those who like birds, and a lovely walk around the coast to Bamburgh. The Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh is lovely too.

“A really nice cottage in a super location overlooking the bay out towards Lindisfarne, the sunsets can be spectacular.”

Highly recommend the walk along the coast to Bamburgh and back, one way on the beach and the other along the top of the dunes is preferable to the road.

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.
