This cottage is ideally situated for exploring the area and has easy access to Bamburgh beach, also a short walk into the village or the Castle. We had a lovely holiday and would come again.

A charming cottage with easy access to Bamburgh beach a short walk across the dunes. The bath is too small for adults but will suit younger children. In Bamburgh the Grace Darling museum is a must. If weather suited this can be complemented by a trip from Seahouses to the Farne Isles. Beware Bamburgh itself has very limited food shopping and no papRead moreer shop. Hide

I liked the design of the cottage and the complex itself. Had a neighbourly or community feel to the place without compromising privacy. Beds are super cosy

The perfect location and a lovely home to come back to - either after a walk along the beach returning via the village for a drink, experiencing the wildlife of the Farne Islands or visiting one of the many spectacular castles. Dolphins just offshore one evening were a bonus. We couldn't have asked for more.

I was pleased with the booking procedure and the fact that Original Cottages sent timely and clear reminders concerning the booking. Isobel Cottage was a delight. It was our second visit and we hope to return.
