“We LOVED our stay over Christmas this year.”
Easy to find, great instructions on how to get in etc and a really thoughtful welcome pack of local produce - the beer and prosecco were also a huge hit! The property was lovely, so clean and so comfortable. It had the amenities we could wish for and it was perfectly adequate for us to cook Christmas dinner. There were instruction booklets left so we could work everything and there was a great welcome book to which had lots of information about the property and local area. Bamburgh was a 5min drive away and Seahouses 8mins (where you find a local co op to replenish everything). The beach was a very short walk from the property, which was great on Christmas day. When we arrived there was space for our car but i would say that it would have been difficult if there had been two cars for the property - but not the hosts fault at all! Similarly i do think it would be dangerous to walk on the roadside to Bamburgh in the winter months as it would be really dark on the way back - again not the host’s fault - so we’re looking forward to an early morning beach walk to the castle and back next time. Honestly, i couldn’t recommend this cottage enough, we LOVED it and can’t wait to come back.
Well that certainly was a glowing review, thank you so much Rose, I’m so pleased you enjoyed Christmas in the cottage !
Lapwing has parking for 2 vehicles, the property next door also has parking for 2, if everyone is courteous, then 4 cars shouldn’t be a problem.
I agree with you that the roadside is definitely not a great route to/from Bamburgh in the dark.
There is a bus which I think runs until about 7pm, timetables may be different over Christmas though.
Best wishes for 2026 and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
