The Stable

Couples and small families will find The Stable suits them well. This former sandstone building has been converted into a two-bedroom cottage in Dukesfield, within walking distance of Bamburgh and its coastline. The whole property is yours alone, with room for four guests across a super-king bedroom and a twin room. One dog can stay free of charge.

The layout keeps everything on one level. A combined living and dining space has a log-burning stove and seats four at table; the kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with a dishwasher, washer-dryer and the basics to cook proper meals. Electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. There's no smoking inside.

Beyond the cottage, you have access to shared courtyard facilities including a hot tub, tennis court and gym. A pub sits within a mile, and the coast is equally close. The property comes with games, Netflix and a Bluetooth speaker, plus a welcome pack with local sausages to cook at home.
