Once home to the kings of ancient Northumbria, Bamburgh Castle is one of Northumberland's most iconic buildings. The Bamburgh castle we see today is a relatively recent structure, built by famed industrialist the first Lord Armstrong at vast cost in late Victorian times.

Comfy beds, fluffy towels and well equipped kitchen - a few more small side plates would be useful and some logs and kindling for the fire as well as matches (the gas lighter was empty!). Nice selection of books and DVDs, some folk might like a few more family games. But all in all a perfect little get-away - thank you very much,Posted on Airbnb Hilary16 September 2023 We have had a great week staying at 16 Armstrong Cottages, the accommodation was excellent and a real home from home. There’s a really well equipped kitchen that made eating in easy and the beds were lovely and comfy. A great secure back garden, we even managed to sit outside when the sun came out. Only a short walk across the sand dunes to a fantastic beach, we have walked miles up and down it and even managed to wear our young lively Springer Spaniel out, it was so lovely to have great accommodation to come back to after our walks.Posted on Airbnb Christine9 September 2023 A lovely peaceful location.
