Stylish, spacious and with a special place in lifesaving history, this former lifeboat house is right by Bamburgh’s beautiful beach. There’s a children’s play area just 500m away, direct access onto the dunes for dog walks… and tasteful coastal-themed interiors where eight guests can enjoy some well-deserved down-time.
Originally the first serving lifeboat house on the coastline of the United Kingdom, this four-bedroomed property combines commanding views of the sea and castle with gorgeous living spaces where eight people and two pets can gather in comfort. Enjoy good food and conversation in the elegant living room and kitchen/diner – the pups can follow you between the two areas, and will love warming their paws by the wood burner. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor: an en-suite king-size and a second king-size room with an ornamental fireplace. Upstairs, there’s a family bathroom and two bedrooms with stunning views of Grade I-listed Bamburgh Castle: a king-size room, and an twin room. Make the most of your coastal location with catch-ups in the fully enclosed patio garden to the rear of the property – complete with outdoor furniture and a BBQ plus a gate giving access to the beach, it’s the perfect spot for feasts and fun in the fresh sea breeze.
The royal capital of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, Bamburgh is famed for its stunning beach and landmark castle; its friendly shops and eateries are on your doorstep too. Stretch everyone’s legs with a walk to Seahouses (3 miles) – the charming fishing village is home to a bustling harbour where boats offer trips to the Farne Islands, a haven for puffins and seals, while dolphins often swim in the surrounding waters. World famous for its medieval religious heritage and 16th-century castle, Lindisfarne – also known as Holy Island – is a 15-mile drive from Bamburgh and can be reached, when the tides permit, via a paved causeway.
