Make a seaside getaway to remember with a stay at Keeper’s View.

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.

    We loved relaxing in the sun room with the view of the Castle and watching the cricket and croquet games, and the location was fantastic with the beach only a few minutes walk away. Although we'd asked for the King sized bed to be divided into a twin this wasn't done, but we found plenty of extra bedding in the cupboard so it worked out fine. E all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and everyone is already keen to return!

    Everything is pristine and well maintained. Just two minor niggles: we couldn't find a cafetiere and the tea pot is only big enough for three cups (and there is no tea cosy!) Apart from that, first class!

    If it wasn't for the fantastic view from the property I would have left and demanded a refund. The property was not cleaned apart from bedding and towels. We had to clean bathrooms, the kitchen, dust the surfaces, clean windows. The dishwasher was left full and dirty. The seal on the dishwasher came off which we had to clean and fix I had to purchase cleaning products to do all this. There were broken items which we didn't have to use such as a lamp, fans, a blind some lights which we were able to do with out. I have been offered 10% of my next holiday. I have not got the confidence to use your company again so this is not worth anything. Very disappointed indeed.
