Description

Breathtakingly beautiful Bamburgh, the royal capital of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, has a big open beach and spell-binding castle that’s believed to have been occupied for over 1,400 years. Just 3.5 miles south, the fishing village of Seahouses has a bustling harbour – take a boat trip from here to the nearby Farne Islands and you might see puffins, seals and dolphins. World famous for its medieval religious heritage and 16th-century castle, Lindisfarne – also known as Holy Island – is a tidal island reached via a paved causeway when the North Sea tides permit; it’s a 15-mile drive north from Bamburgh.

Less than a mile from the castle, this beautiful holiday home boasts an idyllic location overlooking the dunes of Bamburgh Beach. One of a small cluster of properties renovated in a chic style, it benefits from a light and airy open-plan living space, with stylish furnishings and fittings and a colour scheme that flows through every room. All on one floor, there’s a chic kitchen/dining/living room where you can unwind in comfort. The owners really have spared no expense here, blending timber, marble and bold soft furnishings with homely touches such as a selection of toys and games and a long list of complimentary essentials. There’s an electric Aga to inspire the cook in your party, space to chat, dine and watch TV, and a wood burner to add a warm glow to chilly evenings. Two inviting bedrooms await when it’s time to retire for the night, and each has its own en-suite shower room. One has a king-size bed and the other has twins that can be converted to a king-size too, making this a great holiday home for two couples, a family or group of friends to share.

After a day of beach fun and sightseeing, you can enjoy the sea air from your own private garden; get up early, stroll across the dunes opposite the property and you could have a front-row seat at sunrise too!

Reviews

Excellent accommodation, very well designed and comfortable.

Dr T,

Given my comments above, the owners may wish to respond before I provide a review

Mr C,

We were looking for a cottage by the sea that would take a dog and came across Armstrong 7. We were not disappointed, the cottage had absolutely everything you could need and was of a high standard. We felt at home from the minute we walked in and the lovely wood burner soon added to the cosy feeling on the cold night we arrived. For our recently acquired rehome dog, it was perfect with an enclosed garden and minutes from the beautiful beaches. We spend the weekend exploring the area which has so much to enjoy for nature lovers not to mention the historical significance. We will definitely return.

Mrs B,

We had a lovely break it was just what we needed. Great parking a lovely base. The cottage was a real home from home we loved the smart TV and found the cottage really comfortable.

Mrs C,

Really well presented and comfortable base in a superb location , for easy walking access to the beach and Bamburgh.

Mr M,

Excellent property and location.

Mrs T,

The location of the cottage is second to none, a short walk into Bamburgh and to the beach directly over the road. The cottage had a lovely homely feel, the beds were extremely comfortable and all the amenities were spot on. We used the cottage as a centre point to visit Beadnell, Craster, Holy Island and other locations. Highly recommend The Potted Lobster and the Victoria Hotel for food and drinks. Plus the local butchers, bakers are great for sausages, steak, pies, & croissants. If you like kippers, there’s a corner shop that sells kipper in a buttered bun, delicious and the food trailer Creel & Reel in the car park opposite the cottage is outstanding. We will be back.

Mr C,

2nd time staying at Armstrong cottages. The location is the reason we love this place and really enjoyed our stay.

Mrs W,

Gorgeous comfortable cottage in a perfect location. Would highly recommend.

Mrs H,

Great family stay the cottage was well equipped and everything was high quality. Fantastic location ideal for walks on the beach or into Bamburgh would highly recommend for any family looking for luxury close to one of the best beaches in the U.K. very dog friendly

Mrs R,

We really enjoyed our stay, the children loved their room. The kitchen set up was great and we were really lucky with the weather. We will most likely visit again.

Mr H,

We have stayed in lots of luxury self catering properties over recent years and this is on par with others visited. Excellent fittings and fixtures with all the kitchen equipment you need. Dunes and the beach right in front of you and a short walk into Bamburgh. However it is extremely expensive compared to other places we have stayed (at least double) and you need to bring tea coffee etc as no welcome pack and all your toiletries.

Mrs L,

Location

Armstrong 7 has an unrivalled location, within walking distance of the beach and just a few minutes' stroll from the centre of Bamburgh with its castle, museum, places to eat and small shops. Holy Island is north of Bamburgh and The Farne Islands can be accessed from Seahouses harbour, just five minutes south.
