About Braeburn

Braeburn is a single-storey, three-bedroom house in Bamburgh, one of Northumberland's most visited coastal villages. The blue wooden-panelled exterior and gravelled drive echo the colours of the nearby shoreline. The air carries a hint of salt and dune grass. A sandy path directly across the road leads to Bamburgh Beach you are literally steps from the sand.

Bamburgh is built around a sweeping bay dominated by its famous castle. The village has a green, pubs, hotels with restaurants and a handful of shops. The beach is just 0.6 miles away. Fishing villages, coastal islands and castle ruins line the Heritage Coast in both directions.

Braeburn sleeps six across three bedrooms: a super-king (zip/link, available as twin), a king double and a twin room. There are two bathrooms a family bathroom with bath and handheld shower and a separate shower room with walk-in shower and heated towel rail.

Bamburgh Castle is on your doorstep. Alnwick Castle and Gardens are 16.9 miles away (approx. 25 mins). The Farne Islands boat trips depart from Seahouses (3.5 miles, 8 mins). Berwick-upon-Tweed, a historic walled border town, is around 22 miles north (30 mins).

Braeburn suits families, dog owners and groups of up to six. Two well-behaved pets are welcome and the enclosed rear garden is a genuine bonus. No hot tub but with Bamburgh Beach across the road, you won't miss it.

Braeburn Reviews

Philip

I would have liked to have given a 5 star review but unfortunately I did have a few issues. There was no dish cloth or any other cleaning materials No foil,clingfilm or extra bin bags. Toilet rolls. Just 1 per bathroom. Salt and pepper none existent. This should be 5 star but for the price we paid fell short of what we have in many previous cottages The standard of furnishings and cleanliness was very good throughout and very comfortable. In a lovely location. Sorry to point the above out but feel that they should be addressed.

A fantastic holiday cottage truly wonderful location stunning coastline. Very well equipped cottage, very clean, and thoughtfully put together. The garden was completely secure for our dog a medium sized energetic explorer. Incredibly warm and friendly locality. Lovely place to stay.

Elayne

The property is truly delightful. The furnishings are comfortable and the property is beautifully styled . It was a great holiday and I thoroughly recommend Braeburn. My only negative and its not really a negative as such would be the garden feels unloved and more of a parking spot for your car than a spot to unwind that being said its fully enclosed & dog proof which suited us well. You definitely wont be disappointed!

Fabulous location felt like you were in the landscape but close enough to the village to not be an inconvenience. Every appliance and piece of furniture are top quality not always the case from photos. We would thoroughly recommend booking for your Bamburgh stay and are likely to return! Note for the owners there was no information folder, which is typical of holiday properties. Details on what could be recycled and ifwhen we needed to put bins out, along with places to eat, visit and shops are always a nice touch. This was absolutely a 5 experience, just wanted to let you know.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Braeburn which is ideally positioned to walk into the centre of Bamburgh. Everything was very clean and well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Although the description mentions a step down into the shower room, it is quite a steep step and depending on mobility issues the step may make accessibility to the shower room difficult as there is nothing to hold on to. A minor point the owners might like to think of providing an information folder for guests to refer to for food recommendations, places of interest, doctors, WiFi etc. There is no information about what can be recycled or when bin collection days are so our black bin was already full to the top when we arrived and it was pure chance that we were in the bungalow when the bin lorry turned up.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Braeburn, despite very frequent showers of rain throughout the week. The decor, furniture, and equipment were new and of high quality. The location was superb for views, dog walking on The Links, and central location for the beautiful Northumberland Coast and its glorious hinterland. Just two very minor gripes one spare toilet roll to cover two toilets, a single dishwasher tablet, an empty washing up liquid dispenser, and an empty handwash dispenser are most frustrating when arriving after 4pm and have not sussed out local stores yet and having to use the torch on the phone to see the numbers on the key safe wasnt easy for an 83 year old like me. Otherwise, it was terrific, and I thank the owner for a great holiday.

Caroline

We know this area and the Armstrong cottages very well as its our favourite part of the UK and have visited many times. The cottage was the largest weve stayed in and was great from start to finish. Extremely comfortable furnishings, relatively well equipped kitchen and a good shower with great water pressure. The garden was well dogproofed and our boy had a lovely time sunning himself and running around. The only comment would be that a welcomeinformation file might be useful for things like the WiFi code, places of interest, emergency contact etc perhaps helpful for those who havent visited before? Other than that we had a lovely stay in this spacious cottage and were very sad to leave.

A lovely Armstrong Cottage very close to the sea. Big dining room which worked brilliantly for us and the dogs! Bedrooms and lounge very comfortable and a nice kitchen although could have done with a frying pan .

We stayed at this property for a week in January and it exceeded all our expectations. The location is ideal, with easy access to Bamburgh Beach, and the cottage itself has been beautifully renovated throughout with high end finishes. The beds and bedding were excellent quality and extremely comfortable. The cottage is spacious and easily accommodates six people. The shower is powerful, and overall the property feels well thought out and equipped. We appreciated how dogfriendly it is. The rear porch was perfect for the dogs, blankets were provided for them, and the enclosed garden was a real bonus and gave great peace of mind. Lovely extra touches made the stay even better. A fantastic place to stay, we would highly recommend it and wouldnt hesitate to return.
