A lovely first-floor apartment above a bistro close to the heart of Bamburgh, this is the perfect base for a family or group of friends exploring this beautiful area. The coastal town of Bamburgh is one of the most visited and photographed in Northumberland, thanks to the twin highlights of its long golden sandy beach and spectacular castle. It's also home to excellent eateries, historic pubs, fascinating museums and independent shops. Nature lovers and hikers will enjoy exploring the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while animal lovers should take a boat trip to the Farne Islands for bird and seal watching. The nearby village of Seahouses (3 miles) makes a lovely day trip to see the colourful fishing boats, dine at seafood restaurants and enjoy the beautiful beach.

Scale the shared staircase at the rear of the building. This welcoming first-floor apartment has comfortable rooms decorated in a laid-back style that will make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The lounge is a cosy room with an electric flame-effect fire, squashy sofas and a padded window seat offering distant views of Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. The cheerful kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for your holiday, including a dining table beside a window with castle views. The two cosy bedrooms are furnished with twin beds and quality wooden furniture and share a bathroom with a shower over the bath .

The property has no dedicated outside space but the beach is 0.5 miles away, where you can wander its vast expanse, watch the surfers and plat beach games and build sand castles. This apartment is located above a small bistro which specialises in local seafood so you can have a wander down there and pick up something delicious for dinner.

We had a lovely stay at Blackett apartment. It was an excellent location with lovely views of Holy island with bamaburgh village on the doorstep. The flat had everything we needed. Our only issue was the 9am checkout was quite a rush.

The cottage is on the one hand well located as it is right in the centre of Bamburgh and literally a stone's throw from pubs and restaurants. One issue some guests might have is that both bedrooms overlook the car park for the building. This is not an issue visually, however, the restaurant below has food deliveries every morning at 6am and the delRead moreivery drivers are not quiet and talk loudly whilst delivering. This was not an issue for us, as we are early risers, even on holiday and like to get up and enjoy an early morning walk on the beach, but I know some people who would get rather irritated by the disturbance.

Ideal location in village - amazingly close to restaurants and pubs. Convenient for beach and castle. If planning on self catering visitors should be careful about access to shops. There is a very good butcher nearby but otherwise nearest main shop seems to be Coop in Seahouses (a 10 minute drive).

Excellent location on Main Street . Property was comfortable and well equipped having Alexa for music was a nice surprise too and kitchen also very well equipped . Nice smart TV with lots of useful apps catch up Tv etc . Although the apartment was above a very busy bistro did not get disturbed by noise other than the one evening where a noise groRead moreup of male customers were louder than they should of been . Loved staying in Banburgh had visited the village and castle before but was really nice to stay in the village for the week . Loved walking on the beach and into Seahouses in the mornings . Would definitely be coming back to Northumberland in the near future and would definitely consider staying in this accommodation again very reasonable price in high season . Hide
