Captain's Rest
Occupying a significant proportion of the ground floor of a classic Edwardian villa, Captain’s Rest evokes the elegance of the era, the original leaded windows, magnificent carved fireplace and oak floors of the drawing room complemented by sumptuous furnishings and richly textured fabrics, collectively exuding a warm and sophisticated ambience.
Technology, however, is decidedly 21st Century thanks to a 50” Smart TV and superfast fibre broadband. A dining table and upholstered chairs are set into the deep bay window of the drawing room, perfectly positioned for watching the setting sun cast its golden glow over Bamburgh’s famous coastline.
Next to the spacious double bedroom, decorated in soft creams and furnished with a king size bed, dressing table and wardrobe, is a luxurious bathroom with walk-in rain shower, twin basins and underfloor heating.
A split level aspect leads down to a compact but well-equipped kitchen where you’ll find an electric oven and grill, ceramic hob, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee machine, with a washer/dryer and microwave located in a cupboard off the hall. A café table and chairs are located next to French doors which open on to a private patio; beyond this the lawns of the communal garden where there is private storage for bikes and outdoor kit.

Guarded by the iconic Bamburgh Castle which rises from its volcanic promontory with an almost mythic authority, this charming village combines the best of Northumbrian hospitality with one of the finest stretches of coastline in the country. Miles of stunning white sands stretch beneath the castle, from which you can take in views of the Farne Islands, Dunstanburgh Castle, and The Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
You can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at several restaurants in the village – or an unparalleled bacon butty from the butcher – while characterful tearooms and ice-cream shops are perfect for afternoon treats. There are also several great pubs here, perfect for cosying up by the fire with a drink in the evening.
The whole area is bursting with things to do, dotted by a trail of castles and fortifications interspersed with pretty seaside villages all the way up and down the coast. For day trips, why not cross the causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to trace the legend of St Cuthbert or take a boat trip from Seahouses to the outstanding Farne Islands nature reserve and seabird sanctuary.
