Armstrong Cottages No30

This was our third stay at this house, had a good week as always in lovely Bamburgh.

The house is clean and a good size, however we won’t stay again for two reasons. 1) the mattresses are so uncomfortable - really need an upgrade. Awful back ache as a result. 2) had a look at next summer out of interest and the price has gone up a whopping £1000 on what we paid this year. The house is in a good location and perfectly nice (bar the mattresses!) but it’s not ‘luxe’ or high end. We would not pay the new prices, there is nothing to warrant such an increase.

We were all surprised to find only 2 toilet rolls for 7 people, no cleaning products in the kitchen barely any washing up liquid, 3 pods for the dishwasher, we had a baby with us and needed to go out and buy essentials to wipe down the high chair and kitchen surfaces, washing up liquid and pods for the dishwasher, plus the toilet rolls.

My family laughed at me when I said I would take toilet rolls so I didn't take them, you should always listen to your Mother.

It was like home from home.

We enjoyed staying for the week and the beach is beautiful and we all loved the accommodation and woukd book again.

We absolutely loved our stay at no30.

Armstrong Cottages! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The downstairs single bed mattresses could have been more comfortable but it was manageable for the week! The location was perfect. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend for anyone visiting Northumberland. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay beds could do with an upgrade mattress not very comfortable

We loved the house.

Just a few things -the bed upstairs in the large room has two squeaky springs and is uncomfortable. The vacuum is very poor so very difficult to clean up after 3 kids and a dog which i would normally do daily. The dvd in the sitting room didn’t work. Shame when there are so many great dvds!! I’m not if there is a major problem going on but the floor and stairs are very creaky.

Have stayed previously at 30 Armstrong Cottages however given the price now charged by the owner the comfort of the beds and settees in the lounge is not very good

A lovely comfortable cottage on the outskirts of Bamburgh and an easy walk to the sand dunes and sea.

The modern kitchen has everything you need, and the lounge and beds very comfortable. The little enclosed garden is perfect for a dog and for sitting outside in the sunshine A perfect break, thankyou

We had an amazing stay.

The downstairs layout was perfect for family time. The location of Armstrong cottage was perfect and an easy walk in to Bamburgh and to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped. A fabulous place to stay can’t wait to return.

Beautiful property in excellent location.

..close to beach and Bamburgh. We stayed with our daughter, son-in-law and 3 young grand daughters. The property is very well maintained and equipped. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Couldn't believe how huge the interior is ..so deceptive from the outside! We enjoyed the secluded, well maintained garden. Two small issues: On arrival, the vacuum cleaner wouldn't suck and stank of 'old dog'. On inspection, the filter was clogged and up obviously hadn't been cleaned out in a very long time. The foot wasn't rotating as it was jammed with debris. However, we sorted this out and it worked ok after. The second problem we experienced was in the fact that the adjoining property is being renovated. We had a couple of days with noise...banging, drilling etc.. all day into the evening. On one day, the banging went on until, at 11.15 pm, I knocked on the door and politely asked if they could stop, as the children had been woken up with the noise. The owners were most apologetic; they were installing a new kitchen and had lost sight of the time. However, this did not spoil our holiday...was just a bit annoying. Overall, we've had a lovely holiday. Thankyou.

We had a really lovely family holiday.

Quite frankly everything was fantastic. The only point we would make is to make it clearer to holidaymakers to put the bins out. They were both nearly full when we arrived as obviously the last occupants had not done this. We did put out the one bin required in our stay but the recycling ♻️ bin was completely full when we left as it had not been emptied the previous week. Overall a fantastic experience.

Beautiful property, felt lovely and homely to be in for the week.

We didn’t want to leave.

The cottage was very special, with bags of room, the huge ammount of DVD's was great for lazy evenings after walking the beach all day, which was right on the doorstep.

Wonderful house!

So comfortable and well set out. Excellent equipment in the kitchen. A lovely week. There is no door for the kitchen but blankets are provided to put on the settees - which I was a great idea as we we tried barricading the dogs in the kitchen at night and it didn't work. We then put chairs on the settees - that worked!

House freezing cold on arrival, did not get warm until the day after as storage heaters set as low as possible, not a good start to the holiday or a welcome one ,worked for 2 days then heating went off again phoned Sykes maintenance came and fetched 2 oil filled radiators one worked the other barely got warm , had to go out and buy logs not even any kindling in the house to light a fire a basket full of papers tho ,it’s a shame as the house is in a lovely part of Bamburgh and quiet apart from that we enjoyed our holiday .

This is our second stay and again we absolutely loved it.

It’s a very comfortable cottage, the new bathrooms are great. We can’t wait to come back. Many thanks

A beauitful spacious cottage, that we very quickly felt comfortable in.

Fully equiped kitchen with every pot, pan, utensil you need. The bedrooms were comfortable and everyone reported a good nights sleep. The bathrooms are excellent. The garden was perfect for our dog, she enjoyed many a sunny day out there. Only negative, on arrival we could not find the cottage handbook which caused some frustration because we had no idea how to open the back doors, wifi (wifi is important as there is no mobile phone reception) etc it was only by chance I found it under a bag of kindling and newspapers by the fireplace. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would have loved to book again for next year but it is already fully booked for 2025.

Great cottage in a great location.

It was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed. We stayed here years ago and it has been updated since then with new bathrooms and kitchen. The space is great for families to share. The only issue we had was we couldn’t find a clothes horse anywhere which was a pain when doing washing and it was rainy outside. Eventually found it under one of the kids beds, but only by chance when looking for a lost teddy! Overall a great stay and I’m sure we’ll be back.

A lovely cottage, well maintained and equipped, only a short distance from a lovely beach (about quarter of a mile, across the road and sand dunes).

Another excellent stay at Armstrong cottages.

Special thanks to Gillian and Clare who found my husbands watch on the bedding. Their diligence was appreciated

We had a lovely stay we will definitely return

Superb location next to dunes with very short walk to beautiful beach.

Ideal for dog walkers. Accommodation could not be better we have rented several Sykes properties this was the best

Lovely cottage very spacious and comfortable.

Just a sort stroll to the castle, beach and village. Had a small problem with the heating system but this was sorted extremely promptly. Just missed a few little things such as kitchen equipment when cooking for a large family. Would certainly stay again.

This is the third year we have stayed in this delightful well situated cottage and we have loved our holidays there.

Unfortunately the capacity is being reduced for the next booking season so, as a family of ten, we will have to look elsewhere, I would recommend this cottage to anyone who would love to see this beautiful area at it's best.

Very spacious property in a great location for exploring the beauty of Northumberland.

10 mins walk from Bamburgh village and of course the magnificent castle. A short walk though sand dunes onto a glorious beach. Short drive or just over half hour walk into Seahouses for supermarket etc. Only negative with this property was the cleanliness. Surfaces were sticky and we had to wipe down on arrival, Under and at the back of beds looked like they hadn’t seen a hoover or duster for quite a while.

Lovely location, perfect family break in a generally nice property.

The main comment is that the hot water system in the cottage needs some investment and upgrading. There is only enough hot water to run one bath, and we ended up sharing baths after the children because otherwise the water runs cold and the one electric shower isn't very strong or adequate if the cottage is full. I actually went to the leisure centre mid week and washed my hair there. Also, a toy / games chest would have been nice as well as all the DVDs.

A fabulous week was had by all, the accommodation was ideal.

Thank you to all concerned

We all agreed it was so comfortable.

We all relaxed and really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to our next visit.

This was our first holiday with our children and grandchildren so the house and location were perfect.

The downstairs space is great. We liked the kitchen layout and the doors from kitchen and conservatory made easy access to the garden. The family room upstairs provided the ideal place for the children to play. It is a very well equipped property too. We were all very comfortable.

A lovely property close to the beach with excellent facilities.

It was clean and comfortable.

All facilities were satisfactory and we enjoyed our stay in what we consider to be a good location and we would not hesitate to use it again. Many thanks.

Deceptively sized property, beautifully furnished, great fire.

Excellent location and comfortable accommodation.

I booked this holiday for our family and grandchildren - ten altogether and a dog - there was plenty of space we all had a fantastic holiday.

The cottage exceeded our expectations it was amazingly well stocked everything you may need was provided.

Excellent location, spacious and well-equipped property.

Lovely cottage, always warm and very comfortable.

There was everything you could need. Has a great holiday, it was very relaxing.

Nice property, well equipped, good garden for dog.

Close to excellent beach

Very well equipped and comfortable property opposite the dunes with easy access to Bamburgh beach

Perfect for our 3 generations.

Proximity to beach and Bamburgh is great!

Lovely accommodation in a brilliant location.

Within walking distance of Bamburgh and the beach. Enclosed garden for children. Perfect for our family holiday .
