The Bolthole is a charming cottage in a great location, close to Bamburgh Castle, beach and amenities. All are just a few minutes walk from The Bolthole. The scenery is stunning particularly the beach with its dunes. Lovely cricket green and croquet lawn. Would definitely stay at The Bolthole again.

We stayed with a couple of friends. Great apartment and plenty of room for 4 adults. Beautifully furnished and good attention to detail. Ideal spot for exploring Bamburgh and the local area. Parking two cars was a bit of a challenge, particularly getting out, especially as one of the cars in the next door apartment didn't park at all well and iRead moret was a big car, but we managed. Would thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay and would love to return at some point. Hide

We stayed for a long weekend just last week and last year for a long weekend. The house is really lovely but... The small window in the first bedroom is very drafty and when windy very noisey. It's not closing properly. It was the same last time we were there. The heating system isn't great either. Very very noisy. Lovely hot water but the heatinRead moreg side of things isn't good. We we're disappointed that there wasn't anything festive , no christmas tree in the house Hide

Great cottage, great location, just off the main road so close to all the amenities and quiet enough to believe you are in the countryside. The cottage is very comfortable and fully equipped, parking for 2 cars would be challenging!

The property is lovely, has everything you need and the location is just perfect. You can walk anywhere in Bamburgh as it is situated right in the centre behind the Lord Crewe.

Would definitely return. It's nice to park up in the grounds and not worry about trying to park in the street.
