    “We had a couple of little niggles.”

    A DVD player is listed on the facilities and we’d taken some films to watch, but couldn’t find the DVD player. There was mention of a red folder containing information but we couldn’t find that either. Also recycling is confusing, different instructions on the bin to what it says in cottage documentation. All these are minor points and rectifiable. Blacksmith’s is well equipped and full of character. It’s a great location bang in the centre of Bamburgh, yet so quiet and peaceful, and ...

    A DVD player is listed on the facilities and we’d taken some films to watch, but couldn’t find the DVD player. There was mention of a red folder containing information but we couldn’t find that either. Also recycling is confusing, different instructions on the bin to what it says in cottage documentation. All these are minor points and rectifiable. Blacksmith’s is well equipped and full of character. It’s a great location bang in the centre of Bamburgh, yet so quiet and peaceful, and it’s a great base for exploring further afield. The fantastic beach and castle are only a short walk away. It’s great that pets are allowed, our greyhound loved it. Dog owners beware though, there is at least one resident rabbit in the garden! Luckily we saw it before the greyhound and managed to distract her. The garden facilities are very good along with the patio. The garden shed is full of goodies, including beach toys, wind breaks etc. Overall we were really pleased with the accommodation and we had a lovely time, thank you.

    Dear guest. Thank you for your feedback, we’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay. There is a Sony DVD player in the cupboard under the TV, with all the DVD’s. Sorry about the confusion over the folder. The old red folder with various operating instructions was getting tatty and was replaced with a black one kept in the sideboard. I have also updated the separate NCCC welcome file with the Berwick County Council information on what can be put in recycle bin (no glass yet unfortunately) and the bin collection schedule. Thanks again. Property Owner

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.
