Barnend
Enviably located to make the most of the stunning views of Bamburgh Castle, this welcoming dog-friendly cottage is the ideal base for exploring the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just a short stroll from the beach which stretches beneath the castle, you’ll be able to dash out at a moment’s notice to luxuriate in quiet morning walks and the fresh sea air. With a bench seat perfectly placed for watching games of cricket on the green, you’ll be equally tempted to stay put with a jug of Pimm’s on slow summer days.
Step through the front door into the small porch with a hanging rail for your coats. To the right, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space makes the most of the impressive castle views. A sociable place to unwind, the room is decorated in a calming neutral colour palette with sash windows and comfy furnishings.
The first bedroom is home to twin beds, a built-in wardrobe and nautical artworks. The family bathroom lies next door and is fitted with a combined bath and shower. The second bedroom is located up two steps and is complete with a double bed, while the third lies up on the first floor. Featuring a double bed, it’s set beneath original beams and benefits from a skylight which fills the room with natural light. The second bathroom is located opposite and is fitted with a shower.
There’s plenty to fill your days in Bamburgh from the perfectly located Barnend. Take in the far-reaching sea views from the ramparts of Bamburgh Castle, walk for miles along the pristine sandy beach, or enjoy a delicious lunch at the Bamburgh Walled Garden Café in the village. For day trips, head a little further afield and discover the intriguing history of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, just north of Bamburgh, or the popular village of Seahouses that lies just to the south, where regular boat trips set out to spot seals and puffins on the Farne Islands.
