Point Cottages, Bamburgh

360 degree views. Beachfront location. Spacious attic apartment. Nicely furnished. Parking outside. The flat was lovely and warm on our arrival and there was a lovely welcome packet of locally made biscuits and a drink in the fridge.

Nothing major. 9am checkout a little earlier than what we are used to but wasn’t a problem on the day. It is a reasonable distance along the beach road, so maybe a 10-15 minute walk into the village- again, this didn’t bother us but might be a problem for some.

The cottage is in a stunning location with magnificent views. Outside there is such an aura of peace and beauty. The cottage has everything you need. The interior design is restful and harmonious, with sea and coastal colours and textures. Heating and hot water worked well. The enclosed patio/ garden area was ideal for our dog.

The exterior of Cuthbert could do with some TLC. The salt on the wind must take its toll on the paintwork. Internally, some of the furniture, fittings and flooring showed wear and tear, particularly the dining table. Some fittings looked quite new but had already sustained cosmetic damage, which is a shame. None of this prevented us loving the cottage, and we look forward to returning next year some time

The property location is fantastic. Right beside the beach and close to the village

The property has become a little faded. It could do with a refresh especially the shower. Given the cost of the property it was surprising not to have a small welcome/utility pack. Coming for three days I was surprised not to have simple things like small amounts of sugar/salt/pepper no teabags. I would usu bring these when staying for a week but not a few days. And these are daily standard in the vast majority of self catering properties I have rented on booking.com or Airbnb

Location
