This is an outstanding cottage, comfortable and very clean. Within a short walking distance to the amazing beach, dunes, and castle. Great eateries in Bamburgh, just around the corner from this cottage. Ideal stay if you enjoy walking, and dog friendly too ! Would highly recommend.

Good location in village and excellent beach - dog loved it. Very limited food shopping unless you go to Seahouses. Ideally need a car but we got about on buses . Good cafes and Inn. Nice village.
