    “Lovely location however, the cottage itself left a lot to be desired.”

    I understand that it is an old cottage however, the upkeep and maintenance of the cottage was disappointing to say the least as the pictures and description give a false impression. The cleanliness and usability of the kitchen was poor. All of the crockery and kitchenware needed deep cleaning before use. The knives were unusable due to being blunt and damaged. The kettle had an egregious amount of limescale buildup. The bathroom had an off putting smell throughout the stay regardless of having ...

    I understand that it is an old cottage however, the upkeep and maintenance of the cottage was disappointing to say the least as the pictures and description give a false impression. The cleanliness and usability of the kitchen was poor. All of the crockery and kitchenware needed deep cleaning before use. The knives were unusable due to being blunt and damaged. The kettle had an egregious amount of limescale buildup. The bathroom had an off putting smell throughout the stay regardless of having the window open to allow fresh air to flow. The bedroom was extremely cold as the night storage heater would not work and the other storage heaters worked poorly as the rest of the cottage was also cold. None of the doors within the cottage could be shut fully allowing a draft to flow throughout the cottage. Once again, lovely location and we had a lovely time on our holiday. However, the cottage was a letdown.

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.
