Comments and Quotes
“I went to Bamburgh after winning a luxury break - I love this part of England and was quite excited at being told I would be staying in a five-star cottage. I didn't really expect it to live up to the blurb on the website but was pleasantly surprised at the farm and outbuilding conversion which was down a single lane track about one mile from Bamburgh Castle.
The inside of the cottage was a complete surprise as it was like being in a very swish hotel with ultra modern decor, flat screen televisions, a superb fitted kitchen and everything was of the highest quality. There was milk in the fridge, a bottle of wine in the rack, fresh flowers and a welcome box which contained local honey, jam, marmalade, shortbread and a lovely homemade fruitcake.
The place and its situation was a complete dream. The area is one of outstanding beauty and I can only urge people to go and stay at one of these fantastic cottages. I will be going back next year as it was so luxurious.
PS. The butcher in Bamburgh sells the best fillet steak and Scotch pies that I have ever had.”

“A great new self-catering option opened just this summer just outside Bamburgh. A development of traditional farm buildings at the Dukesfield farmstead provides absolutely top-drawer facilities with flat-screen TVs, ultra modern but sympathetic furnishings, fully-equipped kitchens with the most mod of cons, masses of fluffy towels and a big garden for kids and dogs to play in.”

“It was very easy to sink into the super king-size bed with its Egyptian linen sheets at the end of a happy day spent breathing in the fresh sea air and sampling the best local ales and food…To be honest, we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the cottage at times… even with one of Britain’s best views right on our doorstep.”
