Overview
Property code: OC-COQ121

This inviting cottage on the Northumberland coast welcomes four guests and makes a great base for couples and small families looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Head into the centre of Bamburgh (less than 0.5 miles) to explore its quaint boutiques, galleries, and gift shops, or perhaps pop into the Grace Darling Museum to learn about the village’s fascinating past. After a potter around, enjoy lunch in one of the cosy pubs or cafes. Bamburgh Castle sits high on the clifftop, and is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Enjoy relaxing strolls along the shoreline of Bamburgh Beach, or join the Northumberland Coast Path for a bracing hike with breathtaking views. The colourful fishing village of Seahouses is 3 miles away and offers boat trips to the Farne Islands. Other nearby days out include the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (16 miles) and the historic town of Alnwick (17 miles).

The cottage is decorated in a contemporary style, with neutral tones, sumptuous soft furnishings, and a collection of gorgeous accessories. After a day at the coast, sink into the plump sofa in the lounge to warm your toes by the wood burner and catch up on your favourite series on the Smart TV. This room leads through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, with its pastel-coloured units and wooden worktops, along with everything needed for a self-catered holiday. There’s also a large, wooden dining table nestled next to the dual-aspect wood burner. Upstairs, discover two elegantly styled bedrooms; choose from a fabulous king-size or an inviting twin. Both bedrooms have ample storage for all your holiday attire. A refreshing shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the enclosed garden is a sunny spot with a lawned area that’s ideal for four-pawed guests, as well as bench seating and furniture for al fresco dining. The cottage has on-street parking, subject to availability.

Watergate cottage is a comfortable & well-equipped base in an excellent location to explore Bamburgh and the surrounding area. The welcome basket was much appreciated & the owner responded immediately when we had a query. Lots of nice places to eat in Bamburgh and nearby Seahouses as well as lovely coastal walks & many castles to visit.

We wanted a cottage with an enclosed garden and well-located for local activities and restaurants so this seemed like a good find. The cottage was clean and comfortable but lacked the finishing touches that would have made it special for the amount that was charged. For example it would have been good to have a windbreak for the beach, better cookiRead moreng utensils and serving / baking dishes and somewhere outside to wash boots or the dog (even just a washing up bowl!). We had a leak under the sink which we reported but we ended up fixing it ourselves and Im not sure if anyone came. We also asked about a washing up bowl but we were just told that there should have been one there But the worst aspect was the lack of parking in the vicinity which wasnt made sufficiently clear before we came - we had two cars and might have looked elsewhere if we had known. We tried our best but still got a note left on our windscreen saying we were in the wrong place and other property owners seemed to reserve places outside their houses that they werent using. Hide

Cottage,was lovely in a quiet area, close to hotels and cafes for food. It was very clean, no sign of dogs having stayed previously, well stocked and the welcome hamper was much appreciated

This cottage was marketed as being luxury accommodation-it was not.The main feature was the kitchen diner which was of a decent size with a good sized table and chairs-however there were no place mats for the table or sufficient coasters to enhance the dining experience.There were too many artificial flowers in large vases making the place look cluRead morettered and pictures were just stood up on the sideboard not on the walls The sitting area was minute when seated it was almost impossible to get up from the settee and walk out to the kitchen around the table in front of the settee-if the fire was going it would be a hazard!!! The main bedroom was of a good size but had no wardrobe so you had to use the small cupboard in the second bedroom not very good if four adults. Bedlinen was of a reasonable quality as were the towels provided Shower gel was provided but the shower itself was certainly not luxury there was not even a shower rack to put gels etc on you had to reach down to the floor of the shower tray Around the glass edges of the shower and in the corner were brown and black mould which looked as if it had been there some time Again pictures in the bedroom but not on the walls!!! Location of the cottage was good but parking was not as easy as advertised as residents took to putting up cones to prevent visitor parking The hospitality pack left was very nice and of a good quality -But I have never been to a cottage before where there was such a lack of basics provided i.e salt and pepper, clingfilm/foil,kitchen roll All in all I think that the cottage was of a reasonable standard but as said before not luxury Hide
