Cosy and modish with Castle views and an enclosed lawned garden: Windley is the bijou Bamburgh cottage that packs a big punch.

The historic coastal village of Bamburgh, tucked below the magnificent Bamburgh Castle, is every inch the English village with its ancient church, manicured cricket green and dainty tearooms. And now it’s also home to the retro chic Windley cottage: a low-slung, mid-century property set opposite the village’s leafy Grove, whose modest exteriors belie deeply stylish interiors.

Daubed in deep, earthy colours and adorned with rich fabrics and vibrant geometric prints and textiles, Windley is the ultimate mid-century modern pad. The sitting room, painted in teal and warmed by a Morsø cast iron woodburner, features a dining table for four, making it the perfect set-up for relaxed evenings at home. The retro design thread weaves throughout the property with the two bedrooms (one painted in striking rust red and the other in teal) featuring sleek furniture, angular lamps and bold prints that evoke all the organic, minimalist appeal of mid-century design.

The compact yet well-appointed kitchen leads out to dedicated off-street parking, a real bonus during peak tourist season. And, just beyond that, to the rear lies an enclosed, lawned garden with views of Bamburgh Castle that’s equally perfect for children, dogs, lazy picnics and sundowners. The garden also references the origins of Windley’s name: Windley Close was a meadow in Bamburgh purchased in 1546 by Knight Sir John Forster, the erstwhile Captain of Bamburgh Castle.

When not admiring Windley’s impeccable design details, you’ll find the white sands of Bamburgh Beach, the village amenities and, of course, the Castle within strolling distance.

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

Aficionados of mid-century design will love the cool new-retro style.

Don't take our word for it...

Our weekend at Windley was perfect. We loved the cottage - very cosy with everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen, very comfy beds and loved the colour scheme.
Ms Semmence, 28th January 2025

Don't take our word for it...

Lovely cottage, has everything that you need for a self catering holiday. Location is fabulous, a few minutes walk to the beach and the local amenities. Highly recommend the local pubs for meals and all dog friendly.
Mr Sruthers, 6th December 2024

Don't take our word for it...

The cottage was clean and well-maintained. Ideal location, a few min's walk from the beach and with stunning views of the castle. We loved Bamburgh & Northumberland and would highly recommend it to first-timers as we were. We will be back ... soon ...

We had the most wonderful stay at Windley thank you. It was the perfect escape after lockdown. Windley was beautifully done up with all the right equipment in the kitchen, lots of lovely towels and very comfortable beds. Loved the welcome package and china too! It was immaculately clean. Bamburgh is a very special place, the local eateries did brilliantly with takeaway menus as did the butcher. It was our dogs first trip to the beach and she loved it, everywhere was very dog friendly. We will definitely be back to book another cottage, loved your service.

Don't take our word for it...

We were very comfortable - pretty much everything was perfect. The location of the cottage was just great - a few minutes walk from the beach and the castle. My morning walk with Monty won't be quite the same ever again! Thank you for the box of goodies that awaited us - much appreciated. I suspect that we did all the usual excursions to Holy Island, local castles and Hadrian's Wall and were blessed with great weather, especially when compared with down south where we live. Thank you too for the very friendly way that you helped us transfer our booking and in the lead-up to our visit. All was very professionally handled. We do hope to stay in one of your cottages again at some point and will recommend C&C to friends.
