About this property
Settled into the town centre of Bamburgh, within easy reach of local amenities and attractions, Kittling Nook is the ideal family getaway to Northumberland. Park off-road and unpack with ease into a delightful cottage set over a single storey and find yourself in a light and airy open-plan living area, a fantastic social hub for all guests to enjoy. The living area sports a sitting area beside the welcoming glow of a woodburning stove, and glass double doors opening up onto the patio, where a tasteful outdoor sitting area offers a spot for evening relaxation with a glass of your favourite beverage in the warmer months. Behind the sitting area you will find a spacious kitchen with contemporary grey furniture housing many home-from-home amenities to cater to your culinary needs, and a dining table so guests can enjoy a meal together. The stylish feel of the living space is continued into two lovely super-king-size bedrooms, which can both be set up as a twin on request, beginning with a super-king-size with tasteful furniture and a handy en-suite, and a second super-king-size with storage, accompanied by a family bathroom. Dine alfresco in the garden where a selection of outdoor seating creates a space for you to relax and enjoy the sea breeze. Bamburgh is simply stunning, with beautiful coastal walks, a sandy beach where you can enjoy watersports, picnics and wild swimming and the magnificent Bamburgh Castle, which is well worth a visit. The town centre offers a host of eateries, ideal for tasty meals out, as well as a deli where you can stock up on essentials and sample local produce. Travel a little further and you can enjoy a coastal trip at Seahouses with Serenity Farne Island Boat Tours, or if you love history then visiting Holy Island is a must, where you will not only find loads of shops, eateries and a sandy beach, but a great selection of museums and historical sites including Lindisfarne Priory, Lindisfarne Castle and Castle Point Lime Kilns. Make a seaside getaway to remember with the lovely Kittling Nook.
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 were lucky to have great weather for the whole week. We enjoyed delicious meals at The Victoria and The Crab and Lobster. We pre-ordered a delivery of essential food, but also used Carters butchers, and bakery for freshly-baked bread, and other items from The Pantry. It was great to have a designated parking space for the cottage next to the Sunningdale Hotel, which was great until the last night, when someone parked in our space, while we went to Seahouses for an Indian meal. On our return, we had to park some way down the street, and so we had to re-heat our food! The staff at The Sunningdale Hotel were very helpful, as the offending car was still in our space the next morning, and we were due to leave before 10am⦠the owner of the car said he had not noticed the Kittling Nook Please Leave Clear sign until that morning, and aplologised, and moved his car! I appreciate that was not your fault, or that of the hotel, but just thought you would want to be made aware.
