The cottage is on the one hand well located as it is right in the centre of Bamburgh and literally a stone's throw from pubs and restaurants. One issue some guests might have is that both bedrooms overlook the car park for the building. This is not an issue visually, however, the restaurant below has food deliveries every morning at 6am and the delivery drivers are not quiet and talk loudly whilst delivering. This was not an issue for us, as we are early risers, even on holiday and like to get up and enjoy an early morning walk on the beach, but I know some people who would get rather irritated by the disturbance.

Ideal location in village - amazingly close to restaurants and pubs. Convenient for beach and castle. If planning on self catering visitors should be careful about access to shops. There is a very good butcher nearby but otherwise nearest main shop seems to be Coop in Seahouses (a 10 minute drive).
