“Glebe Cottage was delightful.”

Completely peaceful, tucked away but only a short walk to the village and beach. It had a few idiosyncrasies such as the erratic hot water in the kitchen, the vintage television and the lack of any mobile signal, but in all other respects it suited us very well. Being all on one level was an advantage for those with dodgy knees! Eric the owner was very helpful on arrival. We would certainly go back and recommend it to others.

“The property was clean.”

The heating was a bit hit and miss and we found the beds uncomfortable. The enclosed garden was perfect for exercising our dog. The location was good with a view of Bamburgh Castle from the bedroom and close to amenities.

“Glebe cottage is in a great location for exploring north Northumbria.”

It was comfortable and clean but a bit too snug for 4 people. In giving a star rating I always ask myself if I would recommend it and I can't hence the two stars. Reasons? It's showing it's age and really needs refurbishment inside. Outside doors desperately need repainting. There were also lots of little things, e.g. cushions missing from the sofas, no baking trays, and my pet hate, no pint glasses. No mobile signal inside the property bu wifi was OK.

“Lovely old cottage with tidy garden and patio area.”

Ideally placed for a short 5 minute walk to the village green and a further 5 minutes from the Castle, cricket ground and the beach road. All good with a polite and available landlord in Mr Robinson. Easy to recommend here.

“Glebe cottage is, put simply, a gem.”

On the outskirts of Bamburgh only 5 or so minutes walk from the Green and less than 10 from the Castle and access to the beautiful beach. Dog friendly, welcoming to a fault and very dog safe with open areas readily accessible. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. The only addition might be a welcome pack; coffee, tea etc. TV, WiFi and mobile 'phone signals seem "iffy" in and around Bamburgh at times. The owners live on site and could not be more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

“Lovely stay at this cottage.”

It is well placed close to town centre but also sufficiently private and has onsite parking so necessary when staying in Bamburgh. The owner could not have been more helpful and approachable and there was a comprehensive file covering amenities and appliances. Views from the back garden were wonderful towards sea and castle.

“Lovely clean warm cottage tucked away behind the owner’s property giving you privacy.”

Handy for Bamburgh village and its eateries. Great views of the castle from the rear garden. Owner gave us a tour of the property and its workings on our arrival making us welcome.

“Very enjoyable holiday.”

Cottage was brilliant. Wonderful location and very comfortable accommodation. Owner was friendly and very helpful when I had bad (but not completely unexpected) news during the holiday. Thank you.

“Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and in a perfect position for Bamburgh village and the beach.”

The owners live next door and were very welcoming. I can particularly recommend the little patio outside the main bedroom for a morning coffee in the sunshine, with lovely views.

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.
