Babbling Burn Cottage

Slightly out side Bamburgh but within very easy driving distance and nicely secluded for a peaceful stay for a small family with two very young boys. Two bathrooms is definitely an added bonus. Well kept with everything you can need for a short family break with a fully kitted kitchen. While we didn’t take our dog in the end it was certainly very K9 friendly. With small garden to the front. If staying here or anywhere similar again, we would, however take some kind of blackout blinds (apparently there’s some stick on ones you can get from Amazon).

A little gem Positive: The position was ideal, quiet, rural but only a matter of minutes from the coast. The facilities were excellent. The Welcome pack was full of goodies which we really enjoyed and the Information guide comprehensive. Negative: Nothing

Beautiful place to stay, very comfortable cottage, close to tourist spots Positive: The cottage is in a lovely, rural, countryside location, but only a few minutes drive from local attractions. A very comfortable place to stay with very well equipped kitchen, nice beds and excellent showers. The games room is a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Negative: The equipment in the games room needs a bit of attention and if I'm allowed to be really picky, a little chair in the bedroom would be nice for us oldies!

Babbling Burn Cottage was so nice we extended our stay, 100% recommend & will definitely book again when in the area Positive: Beautiful peaceful location, very clean & modern, quality appliances throughout, underfloor heating throughout with bonus log fire, comfortable bed & pillows, Fantastic welcome pack with local coffee, tea, biscuits, fudge. Also included butchers voucher for pound famous Bamburgh sausages. Cooked up delicious! Easy 10-15 mins walk to Bamburgh village through public pathways & quiet road. Negative: Everything was wonderful, only small suggestion would be to add hanging hooks in bathrooms & install window furnishing for front facing downstairs bathroom /toilet & living room bay window.

Nice cottage - beware of the extra verification charge from North East Escapes on top of the booking Positive: Comfortable cottage with a lovely welcome pack with biscuits and a voucher for free sausages from local butcher Negative: being ambushed with a request from North East Escapes for 'verification' which costs you either £30 for 'insurance' or pre-allocate £500 on a card which they then charge you £10 to set up. All this after booking a non-refundable stay. This was not made clear on booking.com or in the booking confirmation.
