Offering delightful accommodation with a tasteful coastal theme, The Dunes in Bamburgh in Northumberland, is the ideal holiday home for a family get-together or a gathering of family and friends. The accommodation is conveniently arranged over one floor with a bright and airy sitting room inviting guests in. With stunning views from the large windows, attractive wood flooring and a gorgeous woodburning stove, the room offers guests a suitably welcoming ambience. Step into the fully fitted kitchen which is decorated in warm blue hues to reflect the coastal setting of the property and leading off from here, there is an elegant dining area all set up ready to host long, leisurely meals. Guests can choose from four bedrooms, all of which are beautifully presented with captivating views and tasteful furnishings. Outside there are delightful gardens with sunny lawns and patio furniture designed to encourage guests to spend time outdoors and make the most of the mesmerising views from the property. There are sand dunes a few minutes away which lead to the simply stunning white sands of Bamburgh beach with the town of Bamburgh within a short walk. The town has a good selection of shops and amenities as well as its infamous castle. Head off from here and carry on along the Heritage Coastline where you will find miles of sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and breath-takingly beautiful castles. Other towns worth visiting in the region include Alnwick, Seahouses (just a few miles away) and you can even head to the border and visit the ever-popular town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Activities to look forward to in the area include golf, sailing (from Seahouses to the Farne Islands), birdwatching, hiking, cycle rides and horse-riding. True to its name, The Dunes is close to stunning sand dunes and offers beautifully presented coastal accommodation which promises its guests a holiday to remember.
The village’s sweeping sandy beaches and dramatic fortress - Bamburgh Castle - make Bamburgh one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and dominates this part of the county’s coastline. Today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, and is open to the public on a daily basis. Although overshadowed by the great castle, Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants and a small selection of village shops. There are golf courses in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses, and within easy reach are more wide sandy beaches, lovely fishing villages, stunning castles and coastal islands to explore along the dramatic Heritage Coast. There are numerous other attractions also a short drive away, including the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens and the historic walled border town, Berwick-upon-Tweed. A superb base for exploring Northumberland.
