Description

This cottage is set in rural splendour, offering a stylish yet cosy base for families and friendship groups of up to six guests. You’ll be hidden away in the village of Adderstone, just 4.5 miles from Bamburgh with its legendary castle that looms over the vast expanse of golden sand at its feet. Heading towards the Northumberland coast, this destination is known for its windswept coastal trails, charming harbour villages and stunning views out to sea, but it is the village delicacy that puts nearby Craster (14.5 miles) on the map. If the rows of oak-smoked barrels don’t give it away, you’ll soon discover a taste of the local fare of choice - kippers! Delving deeper into the mysterious heritage of this dramatic stretch of heritage coastline will reward you with secret beaches such as those at Rumbling Kern, a spot that carries dark tales of smuggling and woe of the underground whisky trade. Dunstanburgh Castle (14 miles) can be reached by meandering along the coastal path from Craster, pausing to admire the majestic rock formations that have been shaped by the elements for centuries. Alnwick is another excellent choice for a day trip, promising yet another impressive castle alongside a whole host of shops, eateries and exciting heritage trails.

Return from your adventures exhilarated and ready to relax in style, kicking off your walking boots and curling up on the comfortable lounge sofas. There’s a wood burner for added atmosphere, plus a range of entertainment options including a TV and DVD player for family film nights, and a CD player for playing your favourite tunes. This open-plan space is perfect for socialising, especially when you whip up hearty comfort food classics in the kitchen and gather to feast together around the table. Moving upstairs, the sleek decor is evident throughout your abode, featuring artistic wallpaper and soothing lighting within each room. There are three bedrooms to choose from, two of which have sloped ceilings and crisply dressed twin beds, just beware of reduced head height. The final bedroom is a super-king-size bed that can be converted into twins on request. This room also has a TV and an en-suite shower room and WC. Completing the property is an elegant bathroom on the ground floor.

Your outside space will prove very tempting for al fresco drinks on the patio and a spot of stargazing. Take care to supervise curious hounds whilst you unwind; the garden isn’t enclosed and the rural setting means there will be plenty of scents to sniff out - if the BBQ doesn’t lure them back to you first.

  • 3 bedrooms - 1 super-king-size zip-and-link, 2 twins

Reviews

This is the second stay that I have had in this particular cottage and it is lovely. Very comfortable, with everything provided that could be needed and in an excellent location. I highly recommend it and will be returning again in the future

Mrs P,

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in a delightful cottage. It is in a very accessible but quiet location, in easy reach of the beautiful coastline. The cottage was very warm and well appointed and I would highly recommend it

Mrs P,

The cottage was spotless and very well equipped, very comfortable and cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Apple Blossom and settled in very quickly. It is so very well located and very easy to find.

Mrs F,

Apple Blossom Cottage offers a spacious and comfortable environment with good amenities and everything provided for self catering accommodation. It is ideally located to explore all Northumberland has to offer as well as the Scottish Borders. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful area with its wonderful beaches, coastline, National Park, Castles and Historic Houses as well as the amazing wildlife. We enjoyed a lovely week staying at Apple Blossom Cottage and were very happy with all it has to offer.

Mr B,

Location

Bamburgh & Surrounding Area

There’s something to appeal to everyone in and around the village of Bamburgh. The beach is popular with dog walkers,  horse riders, rockpoolers and kite surfers. And there are some beautiful coastal walks - try  Bamburgh to Waren Mill at low tide.

Explore the ancient castle and its grounds (outside spaces are dog friendly) or head to the RNLI Grace Darling Museum to find out how a young local woman and her father saved the lives of stranded survivors of a wrecked steamship. You can even see the boat they used for the daring rescue.

Keen golfers will love the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club as well as the many other good golf courses along this stretch of Northumbrian coast. And food-lovers are also well catered for. Try some of the locally sourced crab in a delicious sandwich, or head to R. Carter and Son butchers on Front Street for the renowned Bamburgh Banger sausages. 

There are cafes, pubs and restaurants aplenty, including The Copper Kettle Tea Rooms, The Potted Lobster, The Castle Inn and The Victoria Hotel. Nearby Lucker also has a superb restaurant and cafe, The Apple Inn and The School House.
