Basking in the shadow of Bamburgh Castle, this pretty two bedroom property combines a scheme of soft sea green hues with warm natural textures for rest and relaxation. A lofty beamed ceiling enhances the feeling of space while the original inglenook fireplace is a striking focal point for atmospheric nights in front of the wood burner.

Location

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 a stretch of coastline with AONB status. Miles of stunning white sands stretch beneath the castle, from which you can take in views of the wildlife-rich Farne Islands and the fascinating Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Perfect for long dog walks, games, or quiet reflection, it's no wonder this is one of the most beloved beaches in the country.

You can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at several restaurants in the village, perhaps during a relaxed brunch or with a takeaway from the Walled Garden Café, while the numerous tearooms and ice-cream shops are perfect for afternoon treats. There are also several great pubs 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, explore The Alnwick Garden, or take a boat trip from Seahouses to spot puffins and seals in the outstanding Farne Islands nature reserve and seabird sanctuary.

The Little Things We Love

This little cottage has so much to offer with a fabulous inglenook fireplace at its heart, perfect to snuggle up round, and I love the Botanica inspired furnishings.

Don't take our word for it...

This was our first experience staying at a Crabtree & Crabtree property, as we have previously opted for other reputable holiday cottage accommodations. We were thoroughly impressed with our stay. The layout is exceptional, allowing for the easy closure of specific areas. The well-equipped kitchen and luxurious shower are also highly commendable. Additionally, the practical and secure garden provides ample space for our two dogs to enjoy their freedom. The only suggestion we would like to make is regarding the setup for unloading and reloading luggage upon arrival and departure. This process proved to be cumbersome for us and, it appears, for others as well.

We had a wonderful stay in Bamburgh last weekend. The cottage is lovely - very clean and well equipped. The location was fabulous - so handy for the Lord Crewe and the Victoria - both very dog friendly pubs. The food at the Lord Crewe was also great. Just a short walk to the fabulous beach too! This is the third Crabtree & Crabtree cottage we have stayed in and they have all been really lovely. Thank you!

Curlew Cottage is such a magical place. Bamburgh is the perfect location for a holiday. It is such a charming place and the cottage could not be more welcoming. The cottage location is ideal - just a brisk walk to the beach, castle and even ice cream. The cottage furnishings are truly warm and inviting. Thank you so much for sharing this special home away from home. We hope to return soon.

What a fabulous cottage it was. Under the dramatic backdrop of Bamburgh Castle it was a great location. Everything in the cottage was first class. Lovely lounge with super log fire, excellent kitchen and bathroom and super bedrooms. We would love to come again. When we find a place as good as this we mark it for next time if we plan to explore the region more, and gladly recommend to our friends. The owners can be very proud of a beautiful home.

My booking was dealt with quickly and efficiently which made things easy as it was last minute. Our stay at Curlew was very relaxing the cottage is in a great position we could not fault anything. It was nice to arrive to a warm and comfortable cottage, very clean, well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The garden was also handy for the dogs . We will certainly use Crabtree & Crabtree again if venturing north.

We had a marvellous holiday in Northumberland and the fabulous Curlew Cottage made our stay even more memorable. We were delighted to find it very clean, comfortable, cosy and very well equipped. We will certainly use yourselves in the future as the quality of the accommodation you offer is superior to so many others. Your website is very user friendly, attractive and easy to navigate. In addition, booking was very simplistic and straightforward which is always beneficial. We will definitely recommend you to friends and family.

Don't take our word for it...

We have to say the standard of accommodation and cleanliness of Curlew Cottage was outstanding. It is, without doubt, the best cottage we have stayed in. Everything thought out so well with care. The hamper was a lovely addition, and very generous. Please pass on our thanks to the housekeepers, the way the cottage was presented was a credit to them. We had a brilliant break, the weather was very kind to us, our Guide Dog is now sulking because she is missing her beach runs, and will definitely book again with your company.

Don't take our word for it...

Thank you so much to everyone at Crabtree & Crabtree for a wonderful holiday. Curlew cottage was excellent. Everything we needed and thankfully quite spacious which we really appreciated, particularly as we were there for 2 weeks. We loved Northumberland. Such an interesting area with lots to see. We also loved the great restaurants in Bamburgh. All in all it was an amazing holiday and we will definitely be booking with you again to explore more of this lovely area. Everyone was so friendly too. The welcome pack was really appreciated and very generous. Thank you so much.
