Property code: OC-GD1023

A lovely country cottage, close to the charming village of Lucker (1.5 miles), with its restaurant and popular village pub, and the famous coastal village of Bamburgh, 4.5 miles. It’s the perfect place for a family or four friends to explore the many historic and iconic sights of this beautiful part of Northumberland. Visit the magnificent castle at Bamburgh, England’s finest coastal fortress for over 1,400 years, and home to a fantastic collection of treasures, artworks and ceramics from around the world. The village itself is home to shops, pubs, and cafes, but take time to see the RNLI’s Grace Darling Museum which tells the fascinating story of the young girl who risked her life to rescue others from certain death in a terrible storm. A short 12-mile drive south will take you to another spectacular castle, the magnificent medieval ‘Windsor of the North’, Alnwick Castle, recognised by millions as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter films. Discover the natural wonders of the coast – the cottage is almost in the centre of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which stretches from Scremerston, 15 miles to the north, to Amble, 20 miles to the south.

Enter the cottage into the large, open-plan living space with lounge, dining, and kitchen areas. Here, you will find lovely features and contemporary furniture. Sink down into the sofa, put a log on the wood burner, and watch your favourite film on the Smart TV (with Netflix provided), or enjoy a meal at the stylish table for four. Take the cottage-style stairs from the lounge area up to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms, one king-size and one twin, and a family shower room.

Outside, make the most of the al fresco dining opportunities, where the paved and gravel courtyard is enclosed and furnished with a table and chairs, and has a Weber BBQ for outdoor cooking.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Aidan Cottage which was in a quiet area. Location ideal for visiting the surrounding area. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

Good cottage in a nice location. Parking can be a challenge as there is no designated parking for the cottage but we always managed to find a space.

Location the cottage is ideal for all the best Northumberland has to offer. The weather was warm when we were there, so we didn't need much heating other than a little boost later in the evening, which we achieved easily by turning the thermostat up slightly. Plentiful hot water was available on demand. All rooms were comfortable and nicely apRead morepointed but we felt more crockery and cutlery in the kitchen would have have been a good addition and of great benefit. The outdoor space was nice, though not private. Each cottage had its own designated space, table etc, within a larger courtyard area shared by a number of cottages. The cottage worked well for us and we had a very enjoyable 3 night break Hide

Comfortable clean cottage. Stayed in very windy conditions and the noise around the bedroom window quite annoying. Parking was an issue as there was no clear indication of which spaces were available.

It's a great little place, the heating is great and the hot water is endless and instant both from the taps and the shower. The wood burner is a welcome touch but as it says you need to provide your one logs, you will need a lot. They are sold at the garage at the top of the road. The only downside was it's not possible to walk anywhere from the cRead moreottage unless you walk on the roads which are windy and narrow so not ideal for safe walking. Is it a great base for exploring. Can highly recommend the Castle pub in Bamburgh. Hide
