I recently visited Bamburgh on the Northumberland coast as have heard so much about the castle and the sandy beach which was perfect for the kids and our dogs. We stayed in a fantastic cottage on the Main Street in the village called The Grove which was immaculate, had everything we required (and more) and was extremely comfortable and luxurious - an absolute delight, we didn't want to leave.

Make sure you try the legendary Bamburgh bangers and the butchers is situated next door to the cottage!

I went to Bamburgh after winning a luxury break - I love this part of England and was quite excited at being told I would be staying in a five-star cottage. I didn't really expect it to live up to the blurb on the website but was pleasantly surprised at the farm and outbuilding conversion which was down a single lane track about one mile from Bamburgh Castle.

When we got there the staff were still tidying the place inside and my husband was all of a quiver when one of the girls said her name was Tatiana. The inside of the cottage was a complete surprise as it was like being in a very swish hotel with ultra modern decor, flat screen televisions, a superb fitted kitchen and everything was of the highest quality. There was milk in the fridge, a bottle of wine in the rack, fresh flowers and a welcome box which contained local honey, jam, marmalade, shortbread and a lovely homemade fruitcake.

The place and its situation was a complete dream. The area is one of outstanding beauty and I can only urge people to go and stay at one of these fantastic cottages. I will be going back next year as it was so luxurious.

PS. The butcher in Bamburgh sells the best fillet steak and Scotch pies that I have ever had.
