The Duke

Perfect spot for family get together, dog walking, sightseeing. Fantastic views of Bamburgh castle

With a little more love could be a great place Positive: The Duke was spacious and very well stocked to host 8 people with regards to pots and pans and plates etc, the exterior was very aesthetically pleasing and clean. Beds were clean and plentiful towels. Voucher for tennis was nice the sausages voucher we used and the butchers was delicious. Fire was lovely and ample amount of logs provided. Showers were nice and powerful(but need to see next point) but as it was a wet room your feet get wet if you go to the loo a little later ( even if you did use the squeegee). Plenty parking spaces. Negative: The hottub for a 8 birth apartment was only 4 man, the kitchen looked clean but many dirty dishes at the back of the racks and many of them had hairline cracks, the oven wasn't clean. There are 2 dishwashers which is ideal but you were only supplied 3 tablets for the 3 days which I feel is a little disappointing considering the price, only 2 teatowels and 3 black bags. It was great getting first shower of the day as if you were last to get dressed you had a cold shower. Generally the place could do with a deep clean, under sofas and in-between sofa cushions etc.

Absolutely faultless from start to finish. This is a stunning place to stay in Bamburgh, and our group of six (plus two dogs) couldn’t have loved it more. The house is beautifully designed and immaculately kept. All four bedrooms are large, with incredibly comfortable beds and spotless en suites - a real touch of luxury. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is perfect for spending time together, with views right through from the front to the back of the property. The hot tub was the icing on the cake - especially at sunset, when you can sit back, relax, and watch the sky change colour. For dog owners, the location couldn’t be better. There’s an easy 20-minute walk over the fields straight into Bamburgh, or a short 5-minute drive into town, where the beach behind the castle makes for a beautiful coastal walk. The welcome touches really made our stay special - a little hamper with tea, coffee, and biscuits, two free rounds of golf at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club, a voucher for an hour of tennis in front of the castle, and even a pack of local Bamburgh Banger sausages. It’s rare to see that level of thought and generosity - it made us feel genuinely valued as guests. We also loved the guest book QR code linking to the owner’s guide of things to do in the area - such a personal and helpful touch. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be booking with you again.

Fantastic accommodation for the weekend stay everything you could possibly need and very high quality Spotlessly clean on arrival Beds so comfortable and to have four bathroom is a luxury Location excellent to chill and not leave property or very accessible to local areas in car Hot tub used every day sometimes twice Will definitely return

Really enjoyed the stay at the Duke. Very comfortable and perfect for the dogs
