What makes this cottage unique
Boundary Cottage is in a perfect location within easy walking distance of the beach and the village centre. It's a far cry from the typical holiday let and is equipped and furnished as if it were our main home. It is used largely by family and friends and has many home comforts and facilities such as full central heating, an open fire and a telephone landline (mobile signal provided by most network carriers is sporadic). Views of the castle are stunning.

Perfect holiday cottage
The owners provide everything you could possibly need and things you didnt know you needed for a relaxing holiday. The cottage is equipped to an exceptional standard. We spent hours staring at the view from the kitchen window.
A clean, well maintained and well equipped cottage
The listing description was accurate, although we did not expect quite such a spectacular view of Bamburgh castle from the bedroom window! Lots of useful information on the property, where to eat, sightseeing ideas, maps and leaflets provided. All dealings with the owner were prompt, friendly but professional and helpful. We would certainly recommend to family and friends and hope to return ourselves.
Perfect
A beautiful perfect equipped cottage. Everything you need is here. The beach is nearby so we enjoyed walking on the beach with our two dogs. The cottage is beautiful. Entering the house you feel like home. There was a large big pillow for the dogs as well as treats and for us scones for the tea. Delicious. There was absolutely nothing that we have missed. I loved the kitchen, so cosy. Nice livingroom and also the bedrooms were great. Bamburgh is a beautiful place to stay and if we come again here we surely will book this cottage.
What a find!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Boundry Cottage which provided the perfect base for our week away from the hustle and bustle.
The cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfortable and on days when the weather was not so favourable we enjoyed relaxing at the kitchen table with the magnificent view. The local pubs and shops in Bamburgh were good and proximity to the beach for fabulous walks and runs a big bonus for us and our dogs. Communication with the host was excellent.
fantastic cottage
Great location with views of the castle. Great for dogs as only the village green/cricket pitch between the cottage and the sand dunes. Dog guests well caterered for. Cottage very well presented with everything you could need. Couldn't fault it and will be back.
Perfection
Beautiful property..home from home and the James the owner and his family have thought of everything.
From doggy treats and tennis ball for our dog Neo to milk for tea and scones on arrival.Shampoo and conditioner above sink in bathroom and in shower also - just how it should be....the list could go on and on....fantastic..
The view from the main bedroom Bamburgh Castle when we 1st saw it took our breath away - thankfully James had also sorted the weather ..uncannily for February warm & dry.
Text on our 2nd day from James to ask if everything was OK indicative of the great customer service throughout our contact with him.
Beach literally 5 mins away and same for Pubs and restaurants.
Would not hesitate to recommend this property to family,friends and basically anyone who will listen
Perfect
We will return ...
Neo our Dalmatian sat on the step as we were due to leave for home and refused to move - we had to physically carry him to the car.
Map
Boundary Cottage occupies one of the most sought after locations in the village just below the castle near the centre of Bamburgh on the road which leads to the beach and the golf course. The cricket ground, which lies between the cottage and the castle, provides direct access to the magnificent sandy beach which is only 300 metres away. The double bedroom and the kitchen face south-east and have superb views of the castle. The cottage is ideally situated for families as there are no roads to cross to get to the beach. There is a block paved area to the back of the property (the original farmyard) from which a pedestrian gate gives access to a large grassed area known as ‘The Green’ which is also the cricket ground. It can be used for general recreation and is our extended garden! On the edge of ‘The Green’ nearest to the cottage are a children’s play area and an all weather tennis court. The tennis court can be hired through ‘The Victoria Hotel’ in the village for a small charge.
Other Activities: Bird watching, Alnwick Castle and Garden, Hadrian's Wall, Grace Darling Museum.
Golf: The stunning location has often seen Bamburgh Castle Golf Club quoted as one of the most scenic in Britain. Offering views of Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands, the Cheviots and of course Bamburgh Castle, the course is one of the truest links experiences to be had in England. The course is lined by gorse, heather, whinstone and rare fauna and has a unique series of opening holes with back to back par 3s followed by two excellent par 5s. While not the longest course, amounting to just over 5,600 yards, it is a demanding par 68 although there are birdie opportunities especially on the way home with three par 4s under 300 yards for you to savour.
With a friendly clubhouse serving good food, Bamburgh Castle is a perfect getaway for societies and casual visitors, testing golfers of every level.
Other fine courses in the area include Berwick upon Tweed (Goswick) and the West Links at North Berwick to the north and Alnmouth (Foxton) to the south.
