Bamburgh, home of the legendary Bamburgh Castle, is a beautiful coastal village in wild and rugged Northumberland. With miles of stretching, unspoilt and completely uncommercialised beaches, huge skies, exciting coastal walks and a great sense of history and freedom, Bamburgh holiday cottages are always hotly in demand in this atmospheric part of the world. Beyond the seafront and the imposing castle, you'll find a wonderfully green vista of fields, ancient buildings and pretty villages.
Bamburgh may only be a tiny village but its coastline, golden beaches and the incredibly imposing ancient castle combine to make it top the must-visit lists for beach holidays every year. Bamburgh holiday cottages tend to be typical of the architecture in this part of the world, and you'll find plenty of beautiful stone cottages with rose gardens and masses of greenery, a well-tended village green, thatched rooves and quiet roads; all reminiscent of traditional British coastal resorts, but with plenty of excellent visitor accommodation. In the village, you'll find excellent cafes, cosy pubs and fine restaurants, all in easy reach of Bamburgh holiday cottages.
The Northumberland coast is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with 40 miles of coastline to explore between the Coquet Estuary and Berwick-upon-Tweed. A visit to Bamburgh Castle is a must, followed by a day of sandcastle building or relaxation on the beach, which was awarded the Blue Flag rural beach award in 2005. From your choice of cosy Bamburgh holiday cottages, take a stroll from your accommodation to the shops or enjoy hiking, cycling, a visit to Grace Darling Museum or sightseeing at St Aidan's Church. It's also just a short distance to the castle and village of Alnwick, local shopping in Belford and water sports at Beadnell.
Bamburgh holiday cottages offer superb accommodation, with plenty of space, parking, wood-burning stoves, beautiful interiors and even accommodation with hot tubs and superb views of the castle and coast.
