“This was our first stay at Stone Cottage and we were delighted with the venue and location.”

The cottage has all the amenities you would expect from self-catering accommodation, including towels, kitchen essentials, microwave, clean hobs and oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, a welcome pack of dishwasher / washing machine / washing up liquid together with dishcloths, and a little selection of biscuits and coffee / tea sachets.

The cottage has all the amenities you would expect from self-catering accommodation, including towels, kitchen essentials, microwave, clean hobs and oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, a welcome pack of dishwasher / washing machine / washing up liquid together with dishcloths, and a little selection of biscuits and coffee / tea sachets. The cottage has an Nespresso coffee machine, so very easy to bring some coffee pods! The only minor points were that the brief said there was a BBQ, but there wasn't; it stipulates that dogs are not permitted upstairs yet there is no stair gate to prevent them (we put dining chairs at the bottom of the staircase at night to prevent our dog investigating upstairs); there where only two toilet rolls in the property - just a wee heads-up. Also there was only one clothes peg, just in case anyone fancies doing a wash when they stay! The cottage is within an easy walk to the beautiful beach, as well as cafes, pubs and restaurants. Bamburgh itself it stunning and very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

“We love The Stone Cottage Bamburgh and this was our second stay having stayed in October 2025.”

The cottage is well appointed in a quiet close and has excellent parking which is a real bonus in Bamburgh. All facilities in Bamburgh are within easy walking distance. Beds are comfortable and linen and towels are of excellent quality. We find the downstairs walk in shower most convenient being somewhat challenged climbing in an out of a bath. The lounge/dining room/ kitchen is a lovely social space ( perhaps a few more cushions for the couches might make the couches more comfortable ). On the subject of cushions, it would be nice if some cushions or covers were provided for the garden furniture as it is a lovely sheltered garden which I sat in covering the chairs with plastic bags. The kitchen is well equipped but the rubber seal on the upper oven needs replacing as it kept falling off leading to the writer burning her wrist in an attempt to wrestle our lasagne out of the oven. I did report this damaged seal and maintenance came to “ fix “ it but the seal immediately dropped out on using the oven again. Despite these little issues we love the property and hope we will be able to return in the future. I thank the owners for sharing their much loved holiday home.

“The house is listed as dog friendly but then asks for dogs not to be allowed upstairs, with no way of closing off the stairs.”

It also asks for dogs not to foul in the garden. Blinds were not working properly, and the lack of curtains did not make it feel comfortable. The location is good. The outside tap needs an adapter to enable a hose to be fitted to it. Outdoor furniture was very scruffy, with no cushions.

“Well positioned in relation to the castle and restaurants.”

We have been before a number of times but would like to comment on a few items: •downstairs shower head requires replacing • main television ancient with sound particularly all over the place when viewing • outside lights need to be stronger and better positioned • toaster needs replacing as left hand side unreliable and must be switched off at the mains all the time • outside key lock poorly positioned as when be arrived 4.05pm had to get on hands and knees to operate. Stiff to manage operation and same on departure.

- Michael, November 2025

We appreciate your comments. We will look into all of them. FYI the TV was new in 2025 but the relationship with the sound bar is too complicated. Thanks again. Property Owner

“A lovely property very close to the village amenities and the bonus of a parking space.”

Warm and comfortable and all the things you need for a weeks stay.

“We have returned home after a most enjoyable stay at Stone Cottage.”

The cottage was perfectly located for us, just a short walk to the Grace Darling Museum, the Walled Garden, the local church and the pubs, shops and restaurants in Bamburgh. The cottage was perfectly laid out for us, highly practical kitchen area, lovely dining area (I will retain the view from the window in my memory for a long time). We found ourselves lingering over breakfast looking towards the coast and watching the resident wren flitting around on the garden fence capturing insects. The lounge area was perfect for the two of us and we enjoyed stretching out with a good book or relaxing watching the tv of an evening after a long day’s walking or sightseeing. Upstairs was adequately furnished two comfortable single beds and a very comfortable double. The bedding and pillows were of excellent quality and so both my husband and I got restful night’s sleep. We found the downstairs shower room very convenient as neither of us is quite so agile for climbing in and out of a bath! If you had forgotten your reading material there were plenty of interesting books at the top of the stairs and I also noticed there were games supplied for rainy days. This cottage is obviously a well loved and well used family home and we thank the owners for sharing it with us. Providing we can make the journey again we would love to revisit Bamburgh and Stone Cottage again next year. A great holiday destination.

Geoff October 2025

“We have stayed once before.”

The cottage is very comfortable, a short walk from the centre of Bamburgh and the beaches, and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac. It lived up to expectations.

- Geoff, October 2025
Sue September 2025

“We have stayed at this cottage several times and the location is very good.”

Great for visiting different areas and on a lovely quiet cul de sac. However, we found the fixtures and fittings to the interior tired, in need of a refresh, and lacking in comfort. There are only 2 small 2 seater sofas and a very small footstool for 4 people??. One of the sofas doesn't even have any cushions on now. Also on the Friday we arrived, both the ovens, top and bottom were filthy. There was oil spilt on the floor of both ovens, clearly seen, so when switched on, the ovens smoked badly. And yes, we could have reported it to the cottage company, but we did not want cleaners in the cottage whilst we were on holiday, to complete a job which should have been done properly in the first place. As for the grill pan, I think there is something growing in it, or will be soon. In this ever increasing market of holiday properties, to rely solely on the location of a property, does not represent value for money for returning customers like ourselves.

- Sue, September 2025

Thank you Sue for the review. We will get the oven attended to. We will also take a look at the seating, cushion and footstool situation. Thanks again. John and Martha. Property Owner
Christine September 2025

“Stone cottage really ticked all the boxes, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, everything supplied, nice and cozy, a real home from home.”

It was also very handy for all the attractions and amenities, would definitely recommend.

- Christine, September 2025

Thank you for your nice comments. We really try, along with our cleaner and Northumbria Cottages staff to make sure that Stone Cottage is in great shape for our guests. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay., Property Owner

“We had alovely stay in Stone Cottage, it's a wonderful location in Bamburgh.”

Plenty of room and very comfortable What a shame during the 2nd night the smoke alarm went off for no apparent reasons, then OK for rest of week. On a personal level the sinks in the toilets were very small and hard to use. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Raymond, June 2025

“Loved this place,the location is wonderful,the house is modern,well equipped and cosy.”

We loved wandering around the village just as it was getting dark and then the short walk back to a beautiful home.

“This is our second stay at the property and we will probably return.”

This is because it is in such a good location, ideal for walking and not having to move the car. However, I do feel, given it's price category, that I need to make a couple of points. Firstly given the property is for 4 people, and there are only 2 two seater sofas, I do feel at least some foot stools could be provided. There were 3 of us staying this time, and even then, there is no room to stretch out, relax and put your feet up after a days walking. Secondly, the toaster, I mean really, for 4 people? It's not even big enough to toast a full size slice of bread. Minor improvements I feel, at very little cost. Overall a nice cottage that would benefit from some upgrading comfort wise.

- Sue, March 2024

Thanks for your comments. We are staying now at Stone Cottage and have purchased a 4 slice toaster and a footstool. Property Owner
Kathryn January 2024

“This is our third visit with our dog to Stone cottage.”

We love the location, it’s quiet but so near the beach and Bamburgh facilities. The cottage is clean, warm and cosy. We struggle with it being dog friendly and each time before we let Luna in have to move the two cube sidetables to bottom of the stairs so we can abide by the no dog upstairs rule! This as we are getting older is then difficult for us humans to climb over to get up/downstairs easily!! A stair gate would be useful to provide as you have open stairs from the lounge!!

- Kathryn, January 2024
Sonia November 2023

“Lovely, comfortable and warm.”

This property has everything needed in a holiday cottage.Perfectly situated for the beach and the Main Street in Bamburgh. I would just point out the broken blind on the French doors and the parking space is not fully utilised. Due to a wooden frame in front of the kitchen window, there is only room for one car parked at an angle. Removal of the frame would allow two cars to park.

- Sonia, November 2023

We installed the wooden frame to prevent people accidentally driving into the cottage. We park two cars perpendicular to the cottage with no problem. Property Owner
Sara October 2023

“We couldn't have asked for a better location to stay.”

The local pub was friendly and welcoming. The cottage was lovely, spacious and comfortable. We've already recommended it to friends looking to stay in this area. The only slight issue we had was that the blinds on the ground floor could do with attention to provide adequate privacy in an evening, particularly the broken one to the french door! but aside from that we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return

- Sara, October 2023

This blind has been replaced. Property Owner

Joanne May 2023

“Beautiful property in a perfect location, lovely, bright and spacious.”

We found the garden however, very disappointing. It is full of weeds and the furniture looks like it's never been treated or looked after - why?? The BBQ is awful and looks ready for the tip, I would definitely not use it. Such a shame as the property is so beautiful inside. We found it very strange that family photos were displayed around the place, never come across this before in a holiday rental, it felt like we were house sitting - especially when the landline rang! Overall, we had a great stay but the garden needs attention - it really lets the place down.

- Joanne, May 2023
Jacqui April 2023

“This is our 5th stay at Stone Cottage and we really enjoy the property, however nothing has changed in those 5 years and some of the cooking utensils and cutlery now need updating.”

In previous feedback I mentioned the outside area and the table and chairs need cleaning/ refurbished and the barbecue isn’t usable as it’s in poor repair and very dirty. We enjoyed our stay and I’m sure we will return in the future but would appreciate if you could take note of our feedback.

- Jacqui, April 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback. We will be staying at Stone Cottage in June and will attend to these issues. Property Owner

“An excellent holiday home.”

Clean and bright (with heating quickly available if needed) in a peaceful area of Bamburgh yet only a few minutes walk from the village centre. Good evening eating in the village in at least 5 places. We holidayed in this property for several years and have reserved it for two weeks next year.

“Stone Cottage was clean and nicely furnished with comfortable beds(a big plus).”

Its situation was very good as it was just a short walk into the village, with good cafes and restaurants available. Bamburgh is a lovely place and well situated for exploring north Northumberland and all it has to offer in scenery, beaches and castles. Our gandchildren loved it and were reluctant to head home.

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.

Please note: Arrivals and departures must be a Friday only and 7 nights.
Short breaks are only permitted November to March. Arrivals on Friday only.
