  • "This is our 3rd visit to Whitestacks and already booked for next year."

    The minute you drive into the drive you feel relaxed and welcome. The cottage and gardens are amazing with excellent views of the castle. This year we saw the Northern lights and found the best place to see the stars in the back garden. You have everything you need for a relaxing holiday and can't wait for next year.

    Thank you so much for the feedback. We are delighted you had a great time and look forward to welcoming you and your family back next year. Property Owner

  • "Location is everything!"

    The site photograph actually underplays the awesome views of the castle and surroundings across to the sea. It is very convenient for the main street of Bamburgh and easy to access the coast for pleasures and practicalities, yet beautifully quiet. The house was very spick and span, spacious with well updated bathroom and kitchen and comfortable rooms. It had all we needed for a lovely stay.

    Thank you for your feedback and delighted you had a lovely time. We think the views are awesome too ! Property Owner

  • "A great house with wonderful views of Bamburgh Castle to the front and fields full of sheep to the side and rear."

    The photos don't do the house justice, the kitchen, bathroom, and downstairs WC have all been replaced recently. It has been recently decorated too. We were a party of 5 across 3 generations. The house is well equiped and comfortable. The main bedroom has fab views of Bamburgh Castle from the bed and the sunrises were spectacular. We would definitely recommend Whitestacks and would book again if we return to Northumberland.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed Whitestacks. We’ve just updated the photos ! Be delighted to welcome you back any time. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "Had a very pleasant stay, Overall very clean, relaxing and Twin beds comfortable."

    Peacefull and views excellent! Very minor issues: 1) Only sun lounge 3 seater settee comfortable, ALL other Brown settees and armchairs seemed to be over polished and meant we kept sliding forwards. 2) Big Hole appearing in driveway where public KEEP turning their vehicles, even when we had the post in place. 3) Small welcome pack (basics) would have been nice.

    Thank you for your feedback. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. We will look into the points raised. Property Owner

  • "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 3 generations under one roof!"

    Lots of space with two living rooms (used the large spacious sun room off the kitchen as a play room). A real home from home, equipped with everything we needed. Great garden too in a prime location, overlooking the castle. Great family memories to look back on. Loved it!! Highly recommended & would definitely return.

  • "Great property in a perfect location with beautiful views in all directions."

    Really clean and comfortable, and so close to the centre of the village but peaceful at the same time. Especially loved the daily visits from the bunnies. Would definitely recommend.

  • "This was an unbelievable property."

    We all fell in love with it. The views were magnificent and the proximity of the village was so convenient. We also enjoyed the wildlife on our doorstep - sheep, rabbits, hares and foxes. There was plenty of room for all six of us and we were lucky with the weather so we’re able to make use of the picnic table and chairs outside. Simply a wonderful week.

  • "I like the simplicity of this property."

    The lack of ornaments is beneficial if there are toddlers running around. The property is very warm and cosy the heating system is incredibly efficient. It is lovely and spacious with uninterrupted country side views to the side of the property and a fabulous view of the castle to the front. I enjoyed being able to stroll into Bamburgh centre in a few minutes and also to the coast. Perfect for our family, we didn't want to leave.

About the location

BAMBURGH

Seahouses 3.5 miles; Beadnell 5.1 miles; Alnwick 16.9 miles.

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.
