Ideal for a family or couples travelling together, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious. The sitting room is bright and airy and invites guests to walk in, kick off their shoes and curl up on the sofa to get into the holiday vibe.

The welcoming dining area is set up ready for guests to pull up a chair and look forward to long, lingering meals together. Talking of dining options, if the weather allows, then there is an attractive courtyard where you can enjoy time drinking and dining alfresco. When it’s time for bed, choose from two stylishly presented bedrooms, which are both extremely well-appointed and offer a suitably calming place to relax after a tiring day of exploring. Bamburgh is just a few minutes’ walk and has a good selection of shops and amenities as well as the castle. Head off from here and carry on along the Heritage Coastline where you will find miles of sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and breath-takingly beautiful castles. Other towns worth visiting in the region include Alnwick, Seahouses (just a few miles away) and you can even head to the border and visit the ever-popular town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Activities to look forward to in the area include golf, sailing (from Seahouses to the Farne Islands), birdwatching, hiking, cycle rides and horse-riding. Beautifully presented accommodation in a superb location, The Apartment ticks all the boxes.
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.

It was a great size for our family of four, light and airy and very comfortable. Location is excellent - less than 15 minutes' walk to the beach, and close to shops and other amenities. We'll certainly recommend this place to friends and hope to return ourselves in future too. Thank you!

We thought the tiled floors, especially in the hallway were a great idea. It made it easier when coming back from the beach or a muddy walk that we didnât have to worry about damaging carpet or floor coverings. We had some lovely walks from Bamburgh leaving the car behind. It was great to have a designated car parking space so we didnât have to worry about finding a space on the road. We really enjoyed our stay at The Apartment.
