Description

Grove Cottage is part of the Bamburgh First collection of 17 different houses and cottages under the same ownership and with a consistent quality of interior design and attention to detail throughout. The interiors are professionally designed to suit each individual dwelling and the owner has tried to think of everything that will enhance the stay of every guest.

Inside the cottage guests will find some nice personal touches which include a tin of goodies, a bottle of wine, a voucher for a pound of the famous Bamburgh Bangers, a box of games including Scrabble, Monopoly and Cluedo and the owner’s personal guide to the 21 best things to do whilst in the area. Netflix is also included as is a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker.It’s only a short walk down to the magnificent Bamburgh Castle, which towers over the village green on one side and miles of sandy beaches on the other. At the end of the Wynding road to the lighthouse there is a breathtakingly beautiful links hilltop golf course.  Free games of Tennis underneath the castle on the village green are also provided to guests of Bamburgh First along with membership and discounted access to a gym and leisure club is also provided. Guests of Bamburgh First can claim up to two free rounds of golf per property booked at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club - please see below for more information.

Just to the north of Bamburgh is the Budle Bay bird sanctuary. To the south is the fishing village of Seahouses, which has boat trips out to the Farne Islands to see puffins and seals in the summer months. The market town of Alnwick with its historic (Hogwarts) Castle, Alnwick Gardens and the famous Barter Books, is 20 minutes away by car.  The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is 25 minutes to the North, and the Cheviot Hills 20 minutes to the West.
