Kingfisher Cottage
Sitting in an exceptionally lovely village location with Bamburgh Castle as the stunning backdrop, this comes pretty close to coastal heaven! Designed for two but with capacity for four, the cottage has been newly refurbished in a classic New England style with a blend of soft natural colours inspired by beach pebbles and driftwood.
The double-height sitting room with original exposed beams features a cosy wood burner which is perfect for all seasons, two large sofas for rest and relaxation and a small table with dining space for two.
The spacious double bedroom with its charming church style window has a king size bed which links to a small second bedroom with twin (2’6”) beds, which are perfect for children but can also accommodate adults if space is not a factor. The beds have deep mattresses and quality bed linen for a restful night’s sleep.
There is a compact but well-equipped kitchen to the rear of the cottage, which leads out to a small but private terraced patio garden for sitting-out on glorious summer days or an evening barbecue.
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
For guests looking to holiday together, the Bamburgh Estate also offer Neville Tower (sleeps 4) and The Clock Tower (sleeps 4+1) within the walls of the castle itself. Located in Bamburgh village, Grove House (sleeps 4), Windley (sleeps 4), Rose Cottage (sleeps 4), Curlew Cottage (sleeps 2+2), Sandhills (sleeps 3), St Aidan's Lodge (sleeps 4) and Wren Cottage (sleeps 3).

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.
