Experience breathtaking beaches and a magnificent castle while staying in picturesque Bamburgh.

Set in a quiet stretch of Bamburgh, Friars Farm Cottage is brilliantly located — it’s just a five-minute stroll from the picturesque high street and the impressive castle, but it’s also far enough removed from the hustle and bustle.

Drawing inspiration from the coastal landscape, the bright interiors of this modern cottage for six have been styled using chalky whites, marine-inspired artwork, rattan furniture and coral-patterned accents.

There’s a wonderfully warm sitting room full of deep leather sofas for curling up on after a brisk walk along the expansive sands of Bamburgh Beach as well as a large conservatory with sliding doors leading straight out into the garden. A suntrap on fair days – and a cosy place to storm-watch on inclement ones – the conservatory is fitted with sofas at one end and a dining table at the other making it the ideal place to gather and enjoy a cup of tea, a glass of wine or a competitive game of cards.

Outside, the spacious decked area overlooks a separate south-facing patio where you can dine al fresco under the stars or soak up a few rays on sun-loungers in front of the pretty green summerhouse. Hugged by high walls edged by tropical plants, the garden is sheltered and fully enclosed for the three dogs that you can bring on holiday with you.

Back inside, the sleek shaker-style kitchen is well kitted out with a Smeg double electric oven and smooth black granite work surfaces. Green metro tiles add a lovely pop of colour, while bright prints depict the famous Craster Kipper – a local delicacy which can be picked up in local shops and delis.

Two of the bedrooms can be found on the ground floor. One is a twin – ideal for children or friends – while the second is king size. Both share access to the biggest bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Upstairs in the eaves, is the master bedroom, which benefits not only from an en-suite bathroom complete with a luxurious free-standing roll-top bathtub and a large walk-in shower, but also from sublime views of the Northumberland coast.

With spectacular beaches to explore on the doorstep, spend your days walking the long beaches (dogs are allowed on the sands all year), surfing and swimming or playing golf on the castle-crowned links. There are also plenty of quaint tea rooms, pubs and the highly-commended Potted Lobster restaurant for the gastronomically-minded. A little further afield is Alnwick Castle and Gardens, including latest addition Lilidorei, which is sure to delight any children. Alternatively, head north up the coastline and mystical Holy Island can be reached in twenty minutes, while Berwick upon Tweed’s galleries, or the Cheviot Hills are squarely in day-trip range.

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 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.

The Little Things We Love

Relaxing with a cup of tea in the south-facing garden, which is a bit of a suntrap when the weather is fine.

Don't take our word for it...

Very stylish, well equipped, great location. It was very quiet despite being on the main road into Bamburgh. There is a lovely conservatory where we spent most of our time when home - the dog especially appreciated the underfloor heating!
