“Charlton Cottage is very comfortable, well equipped, well maintained and perfectly located for a wonderful Northumberland experience.”

We visited a lot of the areas attractions and walked miles along the lovely beaches taking in the excellent scenery. We have stayed there before and I am sure that we will stay there again. A fantastic experience.

“Another fabulous stay at Charlton Cottage, a real home from home but with the splendor of a magnificent castle & outstanding beach on the doorstep.”

The cottage was spotless on arrival & with some new paintwork & furniture since our last visit. The chrome in the bathrooms had been buffed to gleaming - we needed sunglasses on

“We've been to Charlton Cottage a few times now & it never disappoints!”

The cottage is very comfortable, well appointed and in a prime position in the middle of Bamburgh. We had a lovely break and will definitely be back!

“Charlton Cottage is in an ideal location in Bamburgh.”

Just minutes away from the beach and the beautiful Bamburgh Castle. The cottage was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The photos don’t do it justice. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is large and very well equipped, everything you need for self catering. We had a problem e we it the hot water but this was dealt with very quickly ( within 30 minutes) by Northumbria Cottage. We would highly recommend and hopefully will stay there again

“Excellent place, perfect location with essential parking for Bamburgh.”

Many thanks we will be back.

“This is the second time we have stayed a Charlton, and we will definitely be going back , clean, comfortable, and home from home for the facilities inside.”

Big boost... carparking inside secure back yard, good for the dogs too.

“We were very happy (and pleasantly surprised) to find a property to meet our specification of six adults, one toddler and two dogs.”

We had some wariness that we would be falling over each other in a "cottage" but on arrival such wariness was dispelled. The cottage is a Tardis and we had plenty of room. The layout of the property is excellent and has clearly been well thought through. The attention to detail regarding provision of kitchen equipment and fixtures and fittings is exceptional. The availability of three car parking spaces in the gated yard was a welcome bonus. Very minor improvement feedback would relate to the intermittent WiFi and the provision of a further front or back door key would have been helpful.

Rachel March 2024

“We had a lovely stay and the cottage was very comfortable.”

We noticed that there isn’t a key for doors in the bedroom with the bunk beds which could be an issue in an emergency.

“Gorgeous property in an excellent location.”

“The property was surface clean but that was it.”

It was dirty. Carpets needed cleaning, the sofa covers were filthy. They are loose covers so why weren’t these changed for clean covers? Bathroom door surrounds dirty. Fittings generally in need of tlc or replacing. Mattress and pillow protectors dirty stained. Large damp issue in double bedroom. Mirror in bathroom tatty all shells fallen off needs disposing. Bins were full of rubbish on arrival and the back yard was muddy! The extractor fan did not work In the shower room. The radiator in the lounge had been broken since Feb 2023 according to the note attached to it! This cottage is priced too high for the condition. It’s such a shame as location and size, layout were perfect for us. However we will not be returning as it was just so dirty we could not relax as we should have been able to do. I have some photos to support these issues if required.

- Tracy, December 2023

Thank you for your feedback. If we were made aware of these issues during your stay it would have been in our best interest to ensure that any issues were resolved. We are very sorry to hear you were not happy with the cottage. We have a fantastic team of cleaners and they always report back with any shortfalls with regards any issues ie new bedding, carpet cleaning, breakages etc. However as in every year the property has been taken off in January for a thorough maintenance and inventory check . This year new carpets are being fitted and new sofa covers amongst other items. Annual redecoration. We try very hard to maintain this very popular cottage to a high standard on a weekly basis and apologise that it was not up to the usual standard. Property Owner
Julie October 2023

“We love Northumberland and in particular, Bamburgh.”

This is a beautifully appointed, cosy cottage in the centre of Bamburgh. The secure parking at the rear is a real bonus. We have already booked Charlton Cottage for next year!

- Julie, October 2023
Suzanne October 2023

“We love Charlton Cottage.”

A few minor niggles this year were: Oven door difficult to close Kettle is a bit hit and miss and won't always stay switched on. Door to bedroom off the lounge sticks slightly The above did not affect our stay and we would stay here every year if we could! Loved it, thank you

Mark September 2023

“Over all we were very happy with our stay,comfortable and spacious accommodation in a great location.”

The front bedroom had a smell of damp but not badly and the toilet in the shower room stopped flushing properly but overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay again .

- Mark, September 2023
Georgina September 2023

“We’ve stayed in many cottages in Bamburgh over the years but this was our second time staying at Charlton cottage.”

The cottage is lovely and really well equipped. It is in a great location being right on the main street and with the added benefit of a secure garden and off street parking. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning again.

- Georgina, September 2023
Alison September 2023

“A little worn in places.”

Child suzed dirty hand print on the wall by the front door. Heating was a bit too warm for us. Key fob for gate worn and very difficult to use. Also no instructions for closing gate manually (needed on leaving) Disturbed early one morning by a gas delivery with no notice. BUT amazing cottage. Beautifully decorated and furnished. So comfy and homely. One of the best we have stayed in. Gorgeous kitchen. Brilliant location. Great safe parking.

- Alison, September 2023
Sue August 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Charlton cottage - the position was great.”

And we had fun. The layout of the cottage is good. The shower room floor needed attention - and maybe a coat of paint here and there. The kitchen was well equipped but a little dark but I think we will return it’s a a great location in a stunning area

- Sue, August 2023
Chris August 2023

“The owner had provided a bottle of wine upon arrival, a nice touch, but as we cooked at the cottage several nights, it would have been nice to at least have had the salt and pepper pots filled!”

It is tedious to have to take EVERYTHING to a rental. We left a note for the owner regarding a dangerous kettle (lid fell off when pouring) and a rocky, wobbly wet room floor. The cottage was otherwise well stocked, clean and had comfy beds.

- Chris, August 2023
Helen July 2023

“A truly well positioned and comfortable cottage in the heart of Bamburgh.”

Bed very soft but that’s my opinion, cottage well equipped felt very at home from day one.

- Helen, July 2023
Ada July 2023

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

The dishwasher wasn’t mentioned in the particulars so that was a bonus.

- Ada, July 2023
Julie June 2023

“Charlton Cottage is a lovely, comfortable and homely cottage.”

It's in a brilliant position, in the centre of Bamburgh village. I think the courtyard is in need of a little TLC though. One of the outdoor chairs was broken, it needed weeding and the 2 plant pots were as dry as a bone. My husband soaked them and one of them came back to life!

- Julie, June 2023

Dear Julie - you must of just missed the new garden furniture which had been on order for several weeks and arrived this week. Apologies that the courtyard was not up to standard during your stay. Property Owner
Theresa April 2023

“This is our third visit to Charlton Cottage which clearly indicates how much we enjoy staying here.”

Position of the cottage within Bamburgh is excellent, as are the facilities. The new coffee making machine was great, especially for espresso martinis. A wonderful, comfortable, homely cottage. We very much look forward to staying again.

- Theresa, April 2023
Lekani March 2023

“Damp smell in shower room, which we managed to lessen during our stay by keeping the velux windows open.”

Would have been good to have a dryer in addition to the washing machine. Coffee machine not important for us.

- Lekani, March 2023
David March 2023

“A beautiful very well equipped cottage the private parking was very good.”

Position of cottage 2 minutes walk from castle and 10 from the fabulous beach, we found the cottage very homely and warm. We are in the village twice and the Apple Inn in luckier twice all meals were amazing. The weather was very kind to us and we managed to walk our dog on the beach every day x

“Charlton Cottage is a beautifully and thoughtfully decorated cottage.”

It offers comfort and luxury in the heart of the beautiful village of Banburgh, perfectly situated between an excellent pub (dog friendly) and café. This comfortable cottage offers a cosy retreat, with an open fire for cold winter evenings. This is a great base to explore the Northumbria coast, including Banburgh Castle (walking distance); Farne Islands, Holy Island and Alnwick 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.

Note: This property does not accept short breaks.
