  • "Lovely, well appointed cottage but the picture is slightly misleading as you can’t easily get to the sea."

    Nowhere to walk dogs first thing, as the cottage is right on the road.

  • "We had a lovely holiday at Turnstone cottage."

    It was like a home from home. We really enjoyed our evenings with the log burner. I really liked being able to see the birds from the bedroom window when the tide was out it would be a twitchers heaven! The aurora on 2 evenings just made the holiday perfect.

  • "Lovely cottage, clean and cosy."

    The most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The kitchen just needs a pair of tongs, turning sausages with a spatula was not for me, I am too clumsy!

    Thank you for your feedback, Aileen - much much appreciated. The tongs are being bought this afternoon. ….. You know where we are…. Property Owner

  • "A terrific little cottage, well equipped, clean and with everything we needed for our holiday."

    There was a lovely welcome hamper waiting for us when we arrived. A great little courtyard area and easy access to the beach outside of the complex (5 min walk on path). Easy drive into Bamburgh or a lovely coastal walk for walkers (3 miles). Very informative leaflets left for ideas on activities in the area. We had a lovely time and we would recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a nice cosy stay in the area.

    Thank you for your feedback Paul - everyone’s requirements are different !…. Whilst Turnstone is a cozy 3 bedroom cottage (with it’s origins,as far as we can establish, going back over 150 years) we try to accommodate families, like yourselves, to the best of our ability. Our aim is to make what used to be our home, into your home for the duration of your stay. We pride ourselves in being a quirky Northumberland cottage, clean, accommodating and welcoming! Our beds are really comfortable and our farmhouse kitchen has almost everything a family would need, including 2 microwaves and 2 fridges…we feel that this helps accommodate all of a family’s perishables for their stay …….. and there is loads of space in the empty cupboards for groceries !!! Indeed we have tried to create as much room as possible within our constraints, so that our guests can have as many facilities as space allows in this 150 year old building!!! Sorry that the dining room isn’t adjacent to the kitchen! Not sure if many cottages in the whole of the UK could physically get any closer to the sea as Turnstone !!……. we are so pleased that we made you and your family happy. You know where we are for your welcomed return !! Take care, “Team Cummins” Property Owner

  • "The Property is listed as Dog friendly, however it is a shared courtyard, so Dogs must be on the lead when you are sitting outside."

    Worth looking at the map before you book, I was mislead thinking we had some access to the beach from the pictures online, however the beach is a couple of miles up the road, although 2 bedrooms have a lovely sea view. The Kitchen was large and well stocked, however doesn't have a table and chairs in there, perhaps if it didn't have 2 fridges and a few less empty cupboards it would open up a lovely space to socialise by the fire place. The actual dinning room is in the hallway, accessed through the lounge, so all your food needs to be carried through the lounge and dirty crocks back again, also no dishwasher, also bit of a dark and cold room, not great for playing games etc or relaxing after eating. Anyone with a bad back wont get comfy in the lounge, the Chesterfield suite was very uncomfortable, and a lack of side tables to put a drink on in the room was a bit annoying. As someone who looks for comfort first when booking a Holiday Cottage, myself and my party were a little underwhelmed by this place, however it would be a perfectly placed spot if you where just using it as a base and not to socialise in.

    The Cottage is spacious and very well equipped, a huge kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in and the best welcome pack we've ever had. The Cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished and we would definitely recommend it. We love this part of Northumbria there is so much to see and do and would definitely stop at Turnstone Cottage again.

  • "This has to be one of the best equiped kitchens I have ever stayed in."

    No dishwasher or clothes dryer. The dishwasher not a problem clothes dryer big problem with young children and wet weather, no decent airer or outside line which made life more difficult as struggled with almost unusable equipment. When a property is billed as dog friendly , I expect that! I also realise that not all guests will travel with covers etc as I do just in case, I dont like signs up everywhere saying no dogs up stairs on stairs etc. It would have been better with a child gate on the bottom of the stairs that could be for children and dogs. I used a broken one to block stairs. The beds where absolutely the most comfortable. I want one! Products supplied for guests beautiful touch as the welcome box and card. I would stay again very good for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastal area.

  • "This was a wonderful cottage in a stunning location."

    It came with the best welcome hamper we’ve ever received. Would really struggle to find anything negative to say about it, except the mobile signal for us was non-existent but the router allowed Wi-Fi calling which cancelled that complaint out. We only had the wood burner going a couple of times as I couldn’t be bothered lighting it. The smart tv kept us entertained in the evenings and was easy to navigate. All in all, it was a hassle free stay.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this cottage."

    Being February it was a little chilly in the morning downstairs, but once the log burners were fired up it was cosy. Very well kitted out, beds comfortable, an ideal base to explore the coast of Northumberland. Although located directly facing the road, we never heard any road noise as it wasn't the busiest road in the world. Lovely welcome pack waiting for us on arrival, even biscuits for the dogs. Definitely recommend. Note there is only one parking space, and literally no place you could park a 2nd car (not an issue for us as we had one car only) but if you took 2 x cars it would be an issue.

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.
