Captain's Rest

"We had a wonderful stay in Captain's Rest, Bamburgh. The apartment was beautifully furnished, with a large lounge with wood burning stove. All furnishings were of a high standard. The bed was extremely comfortable and the small kitchen was well equipped. A bonus was the lovely shared garden and parking space. We would certainly recommend Captain's Rest and hope to stay there again in 2023."

"What a fabulous find in a beautiful village. Quiet, comfortable and stylish. A wonderful welcome on our arrival in the kitchen too. Thank you. Would highly recommend Captain’s Rest and Crabtree & Crabtree."

"Back home after a lovely stay at the Captain's Rest. Super apartment with absolutely everything you would need provided. Spotlessly clean in a great location, just a five minute stroll into Bamburgh but far enough away to be very quiet even at busy times. This is our first experience of Crabtree and Crabtree but definitely not the last, kept totally informed every step of the booking."

"We had a wonderful time at Captain's Rest and would highly recommend it. The accommodation was excellent - a touch of luxury, supplied with everything one could possibly need, it was so cosy and welcoming too. We found it reassuring that great lengths had been taken to unsure it was free any Covid19 virus. It was in an ideal situation to reach the village centre within minutes, and also for local walks. One of our favourite walks was across Budle Golf Course (follow the blue markers across the course) down to Budle Bay. At low tide you can walk along the beach or alternatively take the coastal path all the way into Bamburgh. The village of Bamburgh is very picturesque and the castle is truly awe inspiring. Both Budle Beach and Bamburgh Beach are little pieces of heaven. Thank you for the excellent service you have all given us."

"We had a brilliant week at Captain’s Rest – we even had sunshine. Crabtree & Crabtree were a pleasure to deal with and the Covid-19 safeguards were sensible and easily understood. The apartment is in a beautiful Edwardian house, a two minute walk from the centre of Bamburgh (the butcher and the Potted Lobster are must-visits). The apartment is luxurious with a magnificent lounge/dining room, the bed is extremely comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipment. The whole place was spotless and there’s a nice communal garden. We would certainly use Crabtree & Crabtree again."

"A charming apartment.  It was beautifully furnished and everything had been thought out and provided for our comfort. Bamburgh is amazing and the sun shone, can’t ask for anything more."

"We had a great week at the Captain’s Rest... the accommodation was lovely, and we really liked the layout of the flat. The furniture and fixtures and fittings were superb... Many thanks for your efficient and professional service and for making our holiday so enjoyable."

"We spent a quiet New Year here after a pretty hectic Christmas in Edinburgh - we felt ourselves starting to relax the minute we crossed the threshold.  We were immediately struck by the outstanding cleanliness and the sublime comfort of the property.  It was like entering a private wing of a small castle!  All the furnishings and fittings were of the very highest quality and the kitchen was equipped with every utensil a cook could possibly look for.  The most generous welcome pack and the complimentary Prosecco was an unexpected bonus!  I feel sure all Crabtree & Crabtree properties reflect these high standards so I have resolved never again to risk using inferior agents, many of whom (sadly) only offer disappointment." 

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Captain's Rest. The accommodation lived up to our expectations and was certainly enhanced by the Christmas decoration and log burner. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was our first experience with the company and we are looking forward to our next stay."

"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Captains Rest & would be happy to return. We appreciated the welcome box, the plentiful supply of toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets & logs. The apartment was well equipped- we even appreciated the vacuum cleaner! All in all - lovely & we loved Bamburgh & the Potted Lobster was exceptional."

"We couldn't have had a better stay and would like you to pass onto the owners of "The Captains Rest" our gratitude for the wonderful accommodation. The property was fantastic, perfectly located and wonderfully set out. The little details also made all the difference, everything was provided for and was spotlessly clean. Thank you also for the administration which was smooth and efficient. We will certainly be booking through yourselves again, soon I hope!"

"Our holiday at Captain's Rest was very enjoyable. From booking with yourselves which I thought was extremely efficient to everything about the holiday was first class."

"I just wanted to say that the Captain's Rest was perfect. It is a lovely holiday apartment, with everything we needed and more. It is in a convenient location on the edge of the village and we loved our stay there. We visit Bamburgh quite often and we would have no hesitation in booking this apartment again. It is a beautiful apartment and we loved it."

"We really loved our stay at Captain's Rest, so much so that we are in the process of booking again for next year! Please pass on our thanks to the owner for sharing their beautiful home. We loved the location, and the beautiful decor."

"Absolutely fabulous apartment beautifully finished. We really enjoyed our stay and hopefully will be back later in the year."

"Our recent long weekend at Captain’s Rest was wonderful. The accommodation was comfortable and of a very high standard, including the bedlinen, furnishings and cleanliness. The welcome pack was one of the best We have had. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We also had lovely weather - but that’s just good fortune."

"I would like to say that the property was wonderful and we so enjoyed staying there. Captain's Rest is so comfortable, stylish and cosy. The owners are to be congratulated on creating such a beautiful apartment. It is one that we would certainly return to."

"We had a fantastic stay in Bamburgh, the weather was kind and the views the walking golf and food and drink were all that we expected. The Captains Rest was a fantastic location close to shops pubs and restaurants. The walking close by was excellent and then going further a field to The Cheviots, so a great base. The accommodation was absolutely spot on the quality of everything in the property was evident throughout and is a credit to the owners. We would consider using the same accommodation again or may well explore further other Crabtree and Crabtree properties in the location. Once again thank you for letting us use the property, it was really good to come to a property that reflected its look on the internet, all too often we have been disappointed."

"We had a lovely holiday based in Bamburgh. Our accommodation, Captain’s Rest, was really good and had everything we needed for a relaxing time."

"Captain's Rest was clean and comfortable. The flat was nice and quiet, short walk to the beach and comfy bed and sofas. Hope to be booking with you again later in the year."

"We had a lovely time at Captain’s Rest. A beautiful apartment on the outskirts of Bamburgh. Great facilities, stunning décor and very comfy bed. Although a village location, it was very peaceful. Loved it."

"Thank you for our lovely stay. The Captain's Rest lived up to expectations. Quiet and relaxing. We appreciated your advice about being a little way out of the village. All helped by absolutely glorious weather. Bamburgh proved an ideal base for visits north and south. There is a good ranging of eating places in Bamburgh. Most birders will want to visit the Farne Islands (Puffins) - Serenity is the boat which gives a good close up of nesting seabirds (includes a landing).There is also a hidden gem at Long Nanny (south of Beadnell). We would certainly return. The local Croquet Club gave a warm welcome and what a setting!"

"We had a fabulous time staying at The Captains Rest. It was a perfect location and the apartment was beautiful and very in keeping with the period of the house. We would definitely recommend it and your agency to others- in fact we already have."
