“We loved the location of the cottage just beneath Bamburgh Castle walls However basic things like no soap in bathrooms or toilets had been highlighted by other guests and still not dealt with Having said that the lounge was very comfortable and the dining room was warm and light.”

The large garden was great and the patio. We loved walking to the amazing beach and into the village from the house

“Issues reported to Seahouses office and HO during stay.”

Lovely quiet comfortable property with large private back garden. Sadly issues mentioned let down our holiday experience, but would stay again. The Large toaster STILL not working (Previous guest reported) and also the large oven grill also not working. Electrician arrived and confirmed both not working 20/9/24. Attention to cleaning (oven trays still thick with fat), cobwebs behind lounge curtains and repair many hooks. Blue recycle bin FULL on arrival, HO arranged to be emptied on Friday 20/9/24. Would be very helpful if a luggage trolley or similar were available to carry luggage and provisions etc.. from our vehicles along the long path, through two gates into the rear sun lounge, especially when raining. Customers expect all amenities listed and provided for the cost of the stay to be working, and should be checked between bookings. Holiday stays are for relaxing, not worrying about having to report things not working.

“Lovely cottage, very well situated and excellent garden for dogs - very secure.”

Fabulous view of the castle. The cottage is deceptively big downstairs and the kitchen is well equipped. A couple of minor points - the floors were not very clean on our arrival, particularly around the ding table and cobwebs/dust in corners of kitchen, lounge and dining-room. Also the window in main bedroom could not be properly closed. It should be a tilt/open window but would not close properly at bottom right corner. Would return to this cottage - comfortable & great location.

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for providing such a wonderful holiday property.”

Myself and my family had the best week away staying at your property, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is stunning, and the property itself is just beautiful and so well-equipped—it truly felt like a home away from home. There were a couple of small issues and observations that I reported during our stay. I believe it's important to share feedback to ensure the owner is aware so they can address these matters as necessary. However, these minor points in no way detracted from our overall fantastic experience. Thank you again for such a memorable stay. We hope to return in the future!

“A lovely large house with a large garden in a perfect location.”

We were a family of six visiting for two nights and we had way more space than we expected. Bamburgh is just a few minutes walk round the corner and the castle and sand dunes across the road. Highly recommended and we'll be back :)

“A very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped property.”

Having a private, enclosed garden which is not overlooked is fabulous. The pubs and shops of Bamburgh are 2 minutes walk away. We have been visiting Northumberland for many years and this is our new favourite property.

“We had a wonderful stay in the cottage.”

It was warm and cozy with comfortable beds and lovely fresh bedding. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you possibly need for cooking. We loved the private garden and the sun trap patio. Eating in the cosy conservatory with views of highland cows, rapeseed fields and a beautiful white horse was delightful. The location was perfect right next to Bamburgh Castle with the beach on our doorstep. We didn’t want to leave!

“Jara is a superb property.”

It was our second visit and we had a lovely time. The cottage is very well equipped (even down to kitchen foil, freezer bags and cling film - all things you need but forget to take). Lovely a clean and the added extras like a vast DVD collection, games and a "posh" coffee machine - what a treat!

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.
