Convenience, coastal proximity and peace: all await at The Rushes, an old farm cottage given a stylish makeover.

Relish relaxing, spacious interiors which are wonderful to return to after days of sightseeing or seaside pursuits

Keen to explore Northumberland’s Heritage Coast? The Rushes is so well-placed that two headline attractions – mighty Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands – are within easy striking distance. Yet this convenience still comes with a big dose of rural tranquillity.

This is one of three conjoined former labourers’ cottages (along with the equally-sized Lyme Grass and Wild Rye) set between pretty Bamburgh village and Seahouses, a lively harbour town. Just like its neighbours, The Rushes’ simple, unassuming façade makes its cheerful, natty interiors a surprise. You’ll find plenty of restful pastel hues, some stylish contemporary furniture, a clean-lined kitchen and, above all, an abundance of airy space.

The single-floor home includes a roomy lounge, with navy-blue sofas, patterned cushions and a wide fireplace whose log-burner provides toasty warmth whenever necessary. High vaulted ceilings top the open-plan kitchen and dining space, a bright base for leisurely breakfasts.

Of the three properties, only The Rushes boasts an en-suite master bedroom, rendering it especially romantic. There’s a tub in there, while the second chamber – able to be configured as a king-sized double or twin – abuts another bathroom containing a walk-in shower. Flower prints, pea-green walls and chunky chests of drawers decorate both.

Accessed via French windows from the lounge, that large garden looks seawards across farm fields where sheep often graze below haystacks. You can see Inner Farne’s white lighthouse, on the isle where St Cuthbert died, and a charcoal barbecue and outdoor furniture allow for memorable al-fresco dinners – or celebratory glasses of wine after days out.

In Bamburgh, excellent independent shops include a village butcher and The Pantry, a delicatessen able to prepare picnics or sandwiches for your day out. That might be to iconic Bamburgh Castle, set fair on a mighty basalt crag, or the namesake white-sand beach below it. It may be a visit to meet the Farne Islands’ puffins; boat tours sail from Seahouses. Or it could be an adventure to Lindisfarne, a little north, or kipper-producing Craster, slightly south.

For guests looking to holiday together, this cottage can be booked alongside Lyme Grass New Shoreston and Wild Rye New Shoreston (both sleeping 4).

Property Layout

GROUND FLOOR

Access porch with hanging rail.

Sitting room with two double sofas, chair, wood burner, Smart TV. Double doors open out to the patio and rear garden.

Fully equipped kitchen with an electric oven and ceramic hob, integrated fridge / freezer, microwave, slimline dishwasher and a washing machine. Dining area with table and chairs for four.

There are two steps up from the kitchen which leads to the inner hall and bedrooms:

En suite bathroom with large walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin and WC. 

Bedroom two with king size bed, side tables, chest of drawers, hooks with hanging space.

En suite bathroom with bath and shower over, heated towel rail, basin and WC.

OUTSIDE

To the rear of the cottage is a large, fully enclosed lawned garden with patio, outdoor furniture and a charcoal barbecue (guests must supply their own charcoal).

Guests can park in front of the cottage for unloading but there is otherwise two designated parking spaces for each property at the end of the row of the cottages. The cottages sit on a working farm and the road is used by large farm vehicles therefore parking to the front of the cottages should be avoided.

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

The mix of sea views and pastoral sounds is food for the soul — and wonderful to wake up to each morning.

Don't take our word for it...

The Rushes is an excellent cottage, beautifully designed, comfortable and well-equipped. The best bit, though, is the view - walking up to a view of the Farne Isles over the fields and watching the waves crash on inner Farnes was wonderful.
Mrs Hurst, 29th November 2024
