About Oswald's Rest

Oswald's Rest is a ground-floor cottage on a working farm in Northumberland, set midway between Bamburgh and Seahouses. Mentioned early for good reason Oswald's Rest sits directly on St Oswald's Way, the 97-mile walking route from Hadrian's Wall to Holy Island. The secluded enclosed rear garden with patio and furniture gives you a private outdoor space, with French doors opening straight onto it from the open-plan living area.

The farm is home to pedigree Poll Dorset sheep and Aberdeen Angus cattle. The Northumberland coast is a 15-minute walk along farm paths. Bamburgh's castle and beach are one mile away. Seahouses harbour with boat trips to the Farne Islands is also just one mile.

The cottage sleeps 2 guests in one kingsize (5ft) bedroom with high-quality bedding. The shower room has a cubicle shower and toilet. The kitchen includes an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher and coffee machine. A large Smart TV and Wi-Fi are included. Note: this property has no hot tub.

Bamburgh Castle dominates the skyline just one mile away. Farne Islands boat trips depart from Seahouses (1 mile). The Grace Darling Museum sits in Bamburgh village. Bamburgh Castle Golf Club is within easy reach for golfers.

Oswald's Rest suits couples wanting coast access without the crowds. One well-behaved dog is welcome free of charge.

Is Oswald's Rest Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Oswald's Rest sleeps only 2 guests so it is best suited to couples rather than families.

Bamburgh beach is one mile away and the Farne Islands boat trips from Seahouses are excellent for wildlife-loving kids.

For Couples

Oswald's Rest is designed specifically for couples. The kingsize bed with high-quality bedding, enclosed private garden with patio, French doors and open-plan living space all make for a genuinely quiet retreat. Bamburgh Castle and beach are one mile away. Seahouses harbour is one mile for evening fish and chips and Farne Islands trips.

Pet Friendly

One dog is welcome at Oswald's Rest and stays free of charge. This is a working farm with livestock so your dog must be kept on a lead at all times on the property. Dogs must not be left unattended in the cottage. The Northumberland coast is a 15-minute walk along farm paths.
