Stylish, relaxed and seriously special, The Shieling has the feel of a Hamptons beach house. Wake to the smell of salty sea air and wander the exquisite sands of Bamburgh.

Enjoying an incredibly sought-after position on the edge of the dunes with iconic Bamburgh castle as the stunning backdrop, this is truly a home for all seasons where you can enjoy the lazy idle days of summer, or cosy-up in woolly jumpers on cooler days watching soaring kite surfers across the bay.

Step inside and you get the instant sense of home, each room filled with love and personality reflective of the owner’s own happy family times here. The overall look is one of relaxed, understated elegance combining a gentle palette of colours and fantastic artisan touches along with polished pebbles and seashells to create a calming coastal vibe.

The hand-crafted kitchen is a warm, welcoming space in restful blues with carefully selected tableware and high quality cookware from Le Creuset. This includes an inspired porthole window looking right through to the front aspect offering a sparkling glimmer of the sea beyond. A Rangemaster cooker and huge bespoke industrial corner fridge will ensure that all the catering needs of the party can be satisfied.

This extends into a smart dining space with shuttered windows looking onto the rear garden, allowing lovely get-togethers for up to six adults and four children. The generous sitting room forms an L-shape configuration allowing restful chat in front of the wood burner, or a corner nook offers a place to unwind on oversized linen sofas with a good book.

A light filled breakfast room reflects the colours of the sea with lovely reclaimed pieces in wood and glass along with fabrics from Manual Canovas - a perfect place for quiet contemplation cradling a morning coffee. Alternatively for a little more action, a large games room to the rear of the property is likely to be the social hub for teenagers.......and possibly the adults in the party too!

Location

With friendly local shops, quaint tea-rooms, cosy pubs and restaurants on the doorstep as well as miles upon miles of stunning white sands within walking distance it is part of the reason visitors return to this area year-after-year, and why it remains one of the most popular beach destinations in England.

For dining-out, you can enjoy fantastic fresh seafood at The Potted Lobster located in the heart of the village; the Castle Hotel for a hearty pub meal and pretty beer garden; or the Victoria Hotel if you like great pub food and some chat next to the fire. Alternatively try The Wyndenwell for an ice-cream, cake and coffee stop, or the Copper Kettle, a characterful little tea-room serving a selection of freshly baked scones and light-bites. For something a bit more informal en-route to the beach, The Hut sits on the edge of the sand dunes for a delicious bacon butty or a kipper bun.

For provisions, The Pantry is a super deli selling meats, cheeses, preserves, freshly baked bread and smoked fish as well as lots of naughty puddings which all come from renowned local suppliers across the area. For picnics or lunches on-the-go, they will prepare sandwiches on request along with freshly ground coffee, or can arrange for food hampers full of gourmet goodies to be made up for your arrival at your holiday home. R Carter has been the village butchers for 125 years serving only the finest locally produced meat, homemade pies and award winning bacon which is cured and smoked on the premises. The nearest Co-op supermarket can be found in nearby Seahouses.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shieling, delightful home & amazing location. Many thanks to the owners & yourselves.

The house was great - one of the most comfortable and well equipped houses we've ever stayed in.
Hoyle family, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely family holiday in the Shieling in Bamburgh. It is a beautiful and well equipped and decorated house with enough space to accommodate a family easily, with plenty of useful rooms to be away from others if desired. The location near the beach was ideal especially as we had excellent weather. Everyone enjoyed the quality of the furnishings, inside and out, and luxury the finish. Thank you for the welcome hamper with lots of local produce which was much appreciated. My family all loved our stay and we had a very special celebration holiday together.

We did enjoy our holiday very much. The location is perfect for the beach. The house is well designed and the space worked very well for us.

The Shieling was great, we had a thoroughly good time despite the inclement weather. House was excellent, warm and all the elements worked well there for grandparents and grandchildren. Housekeeper was also brilliant answering the few questions we had very quickly and clearly. A really fun property.
Adams family, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

I’m not sure just what we can say about The Shieling without resorting to a long list of superlatives. It was a fabulous house in a great location and with the most spectacular views. It was extremely well equipped, very tidy on arrival and just the perfect place for a family get together. And the coasteering was fun too. This was our third Crabtree & Crabtree property we have stayed in. All have been of a very high standard and we have nothing but compliments to give to you on them all.
Freemantle family, 2nd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We enjoyed our stay at The Shieling - ideal for a good old fashioned seaside holiday with children - close proximity to the beach was a real bonus. We found the house well appointed and comfortable.

Wood family
We have enjoyed a lovely family get together at the Shieling, with plenty of space for everyone and very comfortable and well equipped accommodation. There were activities for everyone, young and not so young. As well strolling along the beach and around Bamburgh, many sandcastles were constructed, the sea was paddled in and we enjoyed expeditions to Alnwick castle and gardens, the steam train at the Aln Valley railway and a spa day at Doxford Hall.
Raper family
We had a wonderful stay at The Shieling, all 3 generations of the family agreed it suited us very well. We have come to Bamburgh for a family holiday for the last 8 yrs. Always stayed at another property but as that property was unavailable this year we were very concerned, but having used your property instead we realise fate was looking out for us as The Shieling suited us much better and we intend to use in the future for as long as possible. We have already booked for next year and the children are looking forward to it already. We very much liked the family home feeling of the property. Thank you to all those who helped with our enquiries and the very friendly housekeepers who came mid week.
Rennie family
We had a great time at The Shieling for New Year - it was a perfect property in a perfect location - very comfortable and well stocked with all that we needed. It suited our needs very well. You very comprehensive pre-arrival information was also appreciated.
Twine family
We had a great time at The Shieling, as a family gathering for my 70th birthday. The house is wonderfully spacious, furnished and located anyway, but for an extra-special occasion it proved ideal. We have now already booked to return for my wife’s 70th next year! The service from the team at Crabtree and Crabtree has been professional, efficient and friendly throughout - we have been well-impressed.
Mrs Rennie
We had another lovely stay at this property thank you – our second visit! Both our two black Labradors told us that they would be quite happy to live there permanently and go for walks on the beach every day!
Mair party
Thank you so much. My group of Pilates Pals had a wonderful week in my spiritual home of Northumberland. And what an extraordinary house to stay in. It was above and beyond expectations with a beautiful interior of exceptional quality, not to mention the amazing view of the castle. With a two minute walk to the beach it was perfect. We certainly hope to return one day soon. Thanks to everyone at C & C too. Until the next time!…
