Blue Poppy House, is ideal for groups of people, particularly families looking to holiday together. Situated in the hamlet of Waren Mill on the northern edge of Bamburgh village, the house is only a few hundred yards from the sea at Budle Bay, an easy walk to beautiful stretches of sand, and the mudflats ideal for birdwatching, and of course less than a 5 minute drive into the village of Bamburgh dominated by its Castle.

A fantastic holiday cottage that has been tastefully furnished throughout and painted in subtle nautical shades of blue. Painted wooden beams, drift-wood Karndean and sumptuous light grey carpets along with accents of colour, bring a light and modern feel to this prime holiday property. Crisp white bed linen and luxurious fluffy towels in all the bedrooms.

This is a great family and friends property for get togethers, dogs and children are also very welcome with plenty of space for all to enjoy.

Large log burner in the lounge, wi-fi throughout the property & separate room with pool table. Fantastic BBQ hut, paved patio area for super alfresco dining with table and chairs. Large garden (not fully enclosed) and plenty of parking on the driveway.

Utility room, ideal space to kick off your shoes, dry the dog and get sand out of your hair. 2 well behaved dogs are very welcome.

If you are looking for a cosy retreat anytime of the year or a well equipped base to explore beautiful Northumberland, then Blue Poppy House is for you. A holiday cottage that is big on space, character and ideally situated - enjoy!

The property is a very nice holiday home with plenty of room, nicely decorated and well equiped. The bathrooms are particularly good. We did find the lack of an information pack about how things in the cottage worked was unhelpful but enjoyed our stay.

The house is lovely and spacious and in a great location for a family holiday. The house had most things we required but we felt it would benefit from some attention to general maintenance and a welcome pack would be good addition.

This house could be fabulous, but needs some repairs and attention to the condition. It sadly feels neglected, but is a great size and has the potential to be so much more. It does not merit the label of 'luxurious', or the price.

There is loads of room in this lovely house. Well-equipped - for adults and children. The location is great - handy for Bamburgh and for other places on the coast. Good-sized garden with BBQ.

Having arrived early we parked and decided to wait in the garden, it is not well maintained the summer house is need of painting and a good clean. Having taken children they needed the toilet so we went into the property and found the cleaners had not even been this was with less than one hour to go so I contacted the holiday company, a team of cleRead moreaners eventually arrived and the house was given a 20 minute clean which given the size of the house is unacceptable. The house as a whole is in need of some proper maintenance, decorating and deep cleaning. Overall very disappointing you dont get what you have paid for. Hide

Lovely location 3 miles from Bambrgh, entrance to the property is on a busy road. Great coastal walk to nearest pub. Very spacious property but lots of little issues as highlited.

A fabulous spacious house and garden for our extended family holiday. Well located for walks and within easy range of shops, pubs and so on. We found we could walk to nearby Belford on public footpaths to enjoy the pubs and shops there - it was about an hour walk as was Bamburgh. We loved the space at the house we all had and also the barbecue hutRead more. Hide

We loved this cottage. It was warm, welcoming, well equipped, spacious, clean and convenient for Bamburgh and the surrounding area. We were a group of 6 adults and a baby and the house was perfect for us. I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent house if you are coming to Northumberland.

A nice size house in a small hamlet, directly off a main road but not too noisy. Exiting the property can be tricky as you can only see the road when most of the car bonet is into the road. Property itself is a nice size with plenty of space to spread out. Furniture was OK for the time we spent in the house. Kitchen needed a deep clean and like mosRead moret rentals the small appliances and utensils are way past thier prime, plenty of good quality crockery but pans and trays were worn. Oven makes a continuous ring sound, broken timer, had to turn off at isolator. The garden was good to exercise the dogs as there isn't much around the property to explore with everything on main roads. Short drive to shops but the co-op isn't the best. Surprised to see no handbook but most things are self explanatory. The smart tv and Internet were great to use and a must for the location. We had no signal on EE so internet was a must. Nice week in a good house, only slightly let down with age related items. Hide
