With colours and artworks inspired by the colours of the coast and seafaring days, the sitting room sits on the first floor with two large sofas set around a contemporary living flame gas fire. Technology includes fibre broadband to keep everyone connected. The third bedroom is also positioned on this floor along with a family bathroom.
On the second floor is a large master bedroom with a wonderful view of Bamburgh Castle from the velux window, and a separate shower room.

Location
With friendly local shops, quaint tea-rooms, cosy pubs and restaurants on the doorstep as well as miles upon miles of stunning white sands within walking distance it is part of the reason visitors return to this area year-after-year, and why it remains one of the most popular beach destinations in England.
For dining-out, you can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at The Potted Lobster located in the heart of the village; the Castle Hotel for a hearty pub meal and pretty beer garden; or the Victoria Hotel if you like great pub food and some chat next to the fire. Alternatively try The Wyndenwell for an ice-cream, cake and coffee stop, or the Copper Kettle, a characterful little tea-room serving a selection of freshly baked scones and light-bites. For something a bit more informal en-route to the beach, The Hut sits on the edge of the sand dunes for a delicious bacon butty or a kipper bun.
For provisions, The Pantry is a super deli selling meats, cheeses, preserves, freshly baked bread and smoked fish as well as lots of naughty puddings which all come from renowned local suppliers across the area. For picnics or lunches on-the-go, they will prepare sandwiches on request along with freshly ground coffee, or can arrange for food hampers full of gourmet goodies to be made up for your arrival at your holiday home. R Carter has been the village butchers for 125 years serving only the finest locally produced meat, homemade pies and award winning bacon which is cured and smoked on the premises. The nearest Co-op supermarket can be found in nearby Seahouses.
Activities
Standing on a quite spectacular 180 foot high basalt crag, the skyline is dominated by the dramatic outline of Bamburgh Castle from miles around. A visit to the Castle will allow you to experience over two thousand years of fascinating history with dark tales of royal rebellion, turbulent battles, and stories of powerful legend and folklore. The Grace Darling Museum sits just two doors up from the cottage and offers a wonderful insight into the life of this courageous young woman who was written into the history books in 1838 when she risked her life to row a boat out in treacherous seas to rescue survivors of the luxury steam ship Forfarshire.
As well as boasting its own magnificent Castle, the village is home to the Bamburgh Golf Club - an 18 hole golf course with outstanding views towards Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands and the Cheviot Hills. Rated by Golf World Magazine as ‘quite possibly the most beautiful and beautifully situated golf course in all England’ this tricky links course will both challenge and delight. You will also find tennis courts in the village which can be hired for a nominal fee.
The beach at Bamburgh comprises glorious curves of white sand backed by deep sand dunes, rocky outcrops and dramatic shorelines. and is a wonderful spot for families, walkers and water sports enthusiasts. Surfing and windsurfing is highly rated here with waves naturally breaking to the left and right as a result of the numerous sandbars along its length, and while there is no lifeguard cover on this section, it is seen as a safe spot for swimming. Alternatively, six miles south of Bamburgh, you will find excellent watersports on the golden sands of Beadnell Bay where you can launch boats, rent surfboards, wetsuits and bikes or try your hand at kitesurfing, windsurfing, sea canoeing and waterskiing with accredited instructors.
For young explorers, pack a fishing net along with a sand bucket and enjoy a spot of rock-pooling for tiny shore crabs, starfish or periwinkles at Bamburgh Lighthouse at Harkness Rocks - named by Countryfile as one of the top ten rockpooling areas in Britain. Here you can spend many happy hours dabbling in the plunge pools before taking a gentle wander back along the beach to the village.
The whole area is bursting with things to do here, dotted by a trail of castles and fortifications interspersed with pretty seaside villages all the way up and down the coast. Cross the causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to trace the legend of St. Cuthbert, take a boat trip from Seahouses to the outstanding Farne Islands nature reserve and seabird sanctuary, head to Craster to sample their legendary oak smoked kippers, visit the beautiful gardens at Howick Hall, or head inland to experience the medieval splendour of Alnwick Castle with its fantastic child-friendly activity programme inspired by the wizardly magic and broomstick antics of Harry Potter.
Walking and cycling in this area is a delight with an abundance of trails and waymarked routes suitable for all ages and abilities. Take a four mile circular walk from Bamburgh to Budle Bay, where you can experience amazing sunsets over the bay in early evening, or follow the Coast and Castles circular, a dog-friendly stretch involving a moderate walk of 8.5 miles taking in both coast and country. For cyclists, there are family routes, leisure routes, and mountain biking trails with everything from easy coastal stretches to high energy treks in the vast wilderness of the Northumberland National Park which can be easily accessed from Wooler.

"We had a great time at The Mast House and it was good to find that there were plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery, cutlery and coat hangers! The house was great and worked for us really well, and it was spotlessly clean too.The kids liked the dressing up clothes and games. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable. The Mast House is in a great location and we can heartily recommend it. We would certainly stay again. On-street parking can be problematic in Bamburgh, but we had two spaces right by the front door and, being in a quiet cul-de-sac, weren’t in the least troubled by traffic or footfall."
Mr & Mrs Johnson"We had another wonderful stay at the Mast house. The house was immaculate. The kitchen is really well equipped and the house is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The beaches were a little busier this year but never felt remotely crowded."
Kong family"The Mast House was lovely, great position, well equipped and clean with a very comfortable bed. Service from Crabtree & Crabtree was excellent. Wouldn’t use anyone else when holidaying in that area. Perfect weather too!
Thank you"
Getvoldsen Party"We had a great stay and could recommend The Mast House to anyone. Well designed, well appointed and well situated."
Mr Gumbley"Just a quick email to say how very impressed we were with The Mast House in Bamburgh last week. We rent holiday cottages at least four times in any given year, and The Mast House was one of the best we have ever stayed in - beautifully presented, brilliantly stocked with kitchen equipment/crockery/cutlery and excellent little extras for the children (who loved the lego, games and dressing up!). It was perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle of the busy village, but within a very short stroll of the amenities (we especially enjoyed The Potted Lobster, twice!) and less than ten minutes’ walk to the spectacular beach and castle. It was our first time visiting Northumberland and we will definitely be returning.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both The Mast House and Crabtree&Crabtree to friends and family - thank you for a lovely holiday!"
Ash Family"I was really happy with the service from Crabtree & Crabtree. I found the team very helpful & friendly. The Mast House was lovely & in a great location. The house was of a good standard & well looked after. It was very cosy & warm which was appreciated in a cold New Year in Bamburgh. The welcome pack was fantastic - a real treat."
Hanlon family“The Mast House was perfect for us in so many ways - everyone had a floor and bathroom to themselves (and all the bathrooms are equally lovely - no compromises for ground floor dwellers!) which worked really well, and allowed for privacy and quiet time as and when it was needed. It was perfectly clean on arrival, plenty of towels, very well equipped kitchen, very airy and fresh. Bamburgh itself was also a great choice, with a couple of lovely delis, a traditional butcher, couple of gift shops and coffee shop. And of course the stunning castle and beach - both breath-taking and beautiful. I would definitely recommend both the Mast House and Bamburgh to anyone planning to visit the area. We had an amazing holiday.
Thank you too to the housekeeper who did a great job of making sure everything was really clean for our arrival”.
