Grove House
Situated right in the middle of the quaint village of Bamburgh, midway between the castle and St Aidan’s Church – the burial place of Victorian heroine Grace Darling – Grove House is the perfect base for a stay spent exploring this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly two cottages which have been combined into one, it provides ample space for a gathering of family and friends enjoyed amidst wooden beams and warming log burners.
Enter the cottage through its rear enclosed patio, where garden furniture creates a quiet nook for unwinding on sunny mornings. The door leads into the bright kitchen which boasts dual-aspect windows and everything you’ll need to cook with ease. The dining room lies through the hallway and is the perfect space to enjoy atmospheric dinners and board games in the evening, illuminated by the glow of the log burner in the inglenook fireplace. A handy cloakroom with a WC is situated off this room, as is the cosy living room. With another log burner, plump sofas and woollen throws, it’s an exceptionally relaxing place to disappear into a good book or simply watch the world go by outside the window.
Due to the quirky combined nature of this period cottage, there are two staircases which lead up to the second floor lying in inner halls on either side of the dining room. The first bedroom is home to a double bed and enjoys a roomy ensuite bathroom next door, complete with a separate bath and shower. The family bathroom is situated along the hall and is fitted with another large bath with a shower overhead. The second bedroom lies beyond this on the other side of the cottage and features a super king size bed which can also be configured as twins. Both rooms enjoy views out of sash windows to the charming village street outside, with its red telephone box, historic lamps and village green.
Beyond relaxing in Grove House, there’s plenty to fill your days in Bamburgh. Take in the dramatic views from the ramparts of Bamburgh Castle, walk for miles along the pristine sandy beach, or enjoy a picnic of fresh lobster rolls in the dunes in the warmer months. 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.
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
For guests looking to holiday together, the Bamburgh Estate also offers The Clock Tower (sleeps 4+1) and Neville Tower (sleeps 4) within the walls of the castle itself. Located in Bamburgh village, there are Windley (sleeps 4), Kingfisher Cottage (sleeps 2+2), Rose Cottage (sleeps 4), Curlew Cottage sleeps (2+2), Sandhills (sleeps 3) and St Aidan's Lodge (sleeps 4).

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.
