The Greenhouse Reviews

Walter
Really comfortable house in an excellent location. The beautiful beach and castle within easy walking distance. Good food pub and butchers adjacent, other restaurants, cafes and bars all close. Great to have all bedrooms ensuite and kitchen well equipped with plenty of crockery and good glassware. We hope to get back there next year.
Coralie
The Greenhouse is a lovely and suvsntual property right in the green at Bamburgh. It has a homely feel, a lovely big L shaped kitchen/diner/lounge which is fantastic for a large group. The kitchen was very well equipped, house was clean and well presented. Ensuites a bonus for an all adult group
Sylvia
Clean comfortable house with plenty of room for larger parties and good level of equipment. Excellent location, quiet and easy parking close by.
Nicola
Disappointing attention to details, paint missing, dirty corners, mismatched glasses, 1 wine glass for 8 people, curtains that you need a mop handle to open, lamps with no plug to use them, pans with no none stick left. The location is fantastic but the details mean it is not worth the price.
Juliet
The Greenhouse was a lovely place to stay, clean, well equipped, comfortable & great location for the beach.
Michael
Great location. Clean & comfortable.
Colleen
Lovely cottage, great location, contained everything you need.
Sophie
Ok for location , it is less comfortable then other cottages weâ??ve stayed in bamburgh.
Guy
Great location very well presented and very comfortable. Able to take lots of people with ease. Nice sunny back patio.
Adam
Firstly the property is in an amazing location. Tucked between the local butcher and a pub both of which are really nice. Can't fault the view of the castle or beach access when you walk out the front door. Inside it is set up to accommodate 8 people comfortably with 4 en suite bedrooms. 8 seater dining table and chairs. Lounge space for 8 as well. Kitchen is large enough though some may struggle with size of fridge freezer if planning on cooking every day. We didn't so it wasn't an issue. The snug room was an added bonus. The heating wasn't working in one of the bedrooms but I have no doubt the owners will sort it. They allow 2 exceptionally behaved dogs. Pets are not allowed in the bedrooms or on the sofas. So we ended up putting our dog into kennels as I knew we wouldn't be able to abide by their rules. It wouldn't put us off staying there again. Overall we would highly recommend.
Ann
A beautifully positioned property in Bamburgh, next door to the pub, a large house which suited all of us. Just a little tired in places and could have been cleaner. Fire not cleaned, set or ready to use.
Louise
Loved the greenhouse it was a perfect place to stay in terms of comfort, location and ammenities. It really is the most lovely place to stay. The whole family had the best time.
Keith
This is a great property in a fantastic location. All restaurants, pubs, shops and coffees shops are on your doorstep. However the house is quiet and private. We had 4 adult couples and the house was large enough for dining, watching TV, relaxing. 4 proper double bedrooms all with en-suite. Perfect holiday property!
Denise
Tired needs a freshen up. Great location in Bamburgh.
Aidan
Having stopped in the properties before we knew what to expect. Excellent location and space throughout for a large family. The price has considerably increased since we last stopped (pre covid) and felt the price for one week was on the high side. We stop in Northumberland every year and Bamburgh is a particular favourite but feel you can get better value and quality accommodation in other areas. We love greenhouse and greenleaf as we have fond memories and love the location. I'm sure we would stop here again in the future and are looking for Northumberland accommodation in Oct 2025.
Fiona
We had a lovely stay and loved being so central in Bamburgh. A great get together of family.
Rosalyn
Great house with plenty of room and equipped beautifully. Very clean. Great location.
Diane
Fantastic location. The house was very spacious with a good standard of furnishings.
Gillian
This is a lovely property in a fantastic location. Rooms are large, comfortable and up to date. Well appointed kitchen. The snug very cosy and great for those wanting peace from the larger lounge area. The ensuite shower and toilet in each bedroom very welcome. Small but sunny courtyard good for outside dining. Part of our family booked The Greenleaf next door which was another bonus. Would highly recommend.
Jane
This cottage was perfect for my grown up family. We really liked having our own bath/shower rooms. Nice and close to shops, pub and beach. Lovely place to stay in. Thank you.
Rosie
Had a comfortable stay at the Greenhouse for my 60th Birthday. It is in central location in Bamburgh so handy for pubs, butcher's and beach. The open plan layout makes it a very sociable space and each bedroom having an ensuite was welcomed by my friends. The outdoor space got the sun, when it came out, in the afternoon and was a sun trap. Parking can be difficult in Bamburgh at peak times when day visitors arrive but we found after 4 pm parking spaces near the property came available. It is obviously a popular property and is showing some tiredness in a few places but it was comfortable, clean and warm and we all had a great time.
Lynda
Very spacious, comfy and homely cottage. Would definitely return.
Michael
A super location in the village close to all amenities. The kitchen/dining area is large and the lounge is comfortable. Good to have en suite bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the gales.
Jeanette
Lovely large cottage right in the centre of Bamburgh. Each bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, the showers were lovely and hot and there were plenty towels, toilet rolls and hand wash. The kitchen is well equipped, although the fridge is not really large enough for an eight person property. We stayed over Christmas and there was a small decorated tree in the dining room, which has a lovely large dining table, sideboard and log burner. The lounge is comfortable and has a Smart TV and Blu-ray player. Thereâ??s a supply of games/jigsaws. There are 3 pubs within a very short walking distance and takeaway options in the nearby town of Seahouses. Bamburgh itself is beautiful. This was perfect accommodation for family/friends.
Gayle
This is our third time at Greenhouse. Its location is excellent and is large enough to accommodate our group of friends.
