Mr Donnelly
Greenleaf is a comfortable two bedroom cottage located at the rear of the adjoining property Greenhouse. It is accessed via a side road next to the Victoria Hotel and has its own parking space which is suitable for a large car. We had no noise problems from the hotel and it was generally quiet. A lovely little garden and patio area is attached to the cottage. Cottage was comfortable and in a great position very close to the pubs and restaurants in Bamburgh as well as the butchers and deli. Easy walk to the beach and castle .

This is an outstanding cottage, comfortable and very clean. Within a short walking distance to the amazing beach, dunes, and castle. Great eateries in Bamburgh, just around the corner from this cottage. Ideal stay if you enjoy walking, and dog friendly too ! Would highly recommend.
