Bamburgh
Our Bamburgh holiday cottages are a good choice for a stay on the Northumberland coast, with the village, castle and beach all close by. The collection includes places to stay in Bamburgh itself as well as properties in the surrounding countryside, which gives you different options depending on the kind of break you have planned.
Our Bamburgh holiday cottages put you close to some of the Northumberland coast's most iconic sights. Spend the morning exploring Bamburgh Castle, whose dramatic position overlooking the sea has made it one of the region's most recognisable landmarks, before heading down to Bamburgh Beach for a walk along its vast stretch of golden sand. Back in the village, you'll find traditional pubs, independent shops, cafés and places to eat, while the Grace Darling Museum offers an insight into the story of the local Victorian heroine.
With a self-catered stay, you have the freedom to enjoy Bamburgh at your own pace. Pick up local produce for dinner, settle in after a day exploring the coast, or head out to one of the village's pubs when you don't fancy cooking. The Victoria Hotel is a popular local spot, while nearby Seahouses offers further options for eating and drinking around its harbour.
Bamburgh is also perfectly placed for exploring further afield. Head south to Seahouses for a boat trip around the Farne Islands, continue to Beadnell and its distinctive horseshoe-shaped bay, or follow the coast towards Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle. Alternatively, travel north to Holy Island, where you can explore Lindisfarne Priory and the island's historic streets; just remember to check the tidal causeway times before visiting.
From coastal walks and castle visits to beach days and traditional Northumberland pubs, Bamburgh offers plenty to discover. Find your ideal self-catered Bamburgh holiday cottage with North East Escapes and enjoy the freedom to explore the coast at your own pace.
