Area The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
Region Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian’s Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.

Terrible experience. Cottage was polluted with oil fumes. My group all experienced ill effects. Sykes holidays very unhelpful.
They and the owners let out the cottage with prior knowledge of this problem. Illegal, dangerous, completely spoiled our holiday.

Absolutely health and safety hazard we couldn’t use the garden due to a bees nest and the company said they wouldn’t do anything. It’s really grubby tired and I am also seeking a refund.DONT BOOk

Stay clear of this property, tiered and in need of TLC, property very cold. Took 3 days for the thermostat to be altered to allow the temperature to rise above 13.5 degrees! Appalling customer service from Skye’s and the owners. Avoid at all costs.
Funny how the heating could be accessed remotely yet took 3 days to do this.
Disgusting and should be ashamed. We have requested a partial refund for our first 3 nights. Still waiting a satisfactory response 4 weeks later.
