Overview
Property code: OC-24339

This large and fabulous house is perfect for extended families and groups of friends looking to share special moments together. Nestled in a tranquil hamlet on the edge of Bamburgh, it’s the ideal base for exploring the stunning beauty of Northumberland. Just a few hundred metres from the property is Budle Bay, a nature reserve rich in birdlife, while the historic town of Bamburgh, with its long sandy beach, charming streets, and magnificent castle, is only 2.5 miles away.

With plenty of space for up to eight guests, this house offers a variety of rooms where everyone can relax or enjoy time together. The ground floor boasts a large lounge with abundant sofas, a wood burner in a striking inglenook fireplace, and a 55-inch TV for movie nights. The games room is the perfect place for family fun with a pool table, while the conservatory offers a sun-filled spot for a peaceful read or to enjoy the garden views. The vast, beautifully finished kitchen has everything you need to cater to a crowd, then enjoy your home-cooked creations on stools at the breakfast bar or gathered around the table in the dining room beside a second inglenook fireplace. A handy utility room contains a cloakroom, washing machine, drying rack and plenty of space to kick off sandy shoes before heading into the main house. A shared shower room completes the ground floor.

Climb the main stairs from the hallway to find another seating area; a mezzanine lounge featuring a sofa, easy chairs, and a TV, is ideal for a quieter retreat. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox add additional entertainment options, making this home a haven for all ages. Off this landing lies a shared bathroom and three bedrooms, one double, a twin, and the master bedroom. The master is a fantastic room with high ceilings, a king-size bed and an en-suite. The fourth bedroom, also a king-size, is accessed via a separate staircase from the kitchen.

The large garden, with a furnished patio, extensive lawn, and mature trees, provides the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation. The enclosed BBQ hut is the ultimate spot for evening cookouts and shared meals under the stars.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or a fun-filled family holiday, this home provides everything you need for a memorable stay in Northumberland.

We loved this cottage. It was warm, welcoming, well equipped, spacious, clean and convenient for Bamburgh and the surrounding area. We were a group of 6 adults and a baby and the house was perfect for us. I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent house if you are coming to Northumberland.

This was a very nice cottage but not exceptional. I booked it for my wife's 60th birthday and if it was not for the excellent company we had it would have been rather disappointing. Not enough attention is paid to the small things that really matter.

A nice size house in a small hamlet, directly off a main road but not too noisy. Exiting the property can be tricky as you can only see the road when most of the car bonet is into the road. Property itself is a nice size with plenty of space to spread out. Furniture was OK for the time we spent in the house. Kitchen needed a deep clean and like mosRead moret rentals the small appliances and utensils are way past thier prime, plenty of good quality crockery but pans and trays were worn. Oven makes a continuous ring sound, broken timer, had to turn off at isolator. The garden was good to exercise the dogs as there isn't much around the property to explore with everything on main roads. Short drive to shops but the co-op isn't the best. Surprised to see no handbook but most things are self explanatory. The smart tv and Internet were great to use and a must for the location. We had no signal on EE so internet was a must. Nice week in a good house, only slightly let down with age related items. Hide

Blue Poppy House in large, comfortable, in a great location and a good price. However, there are issues with a bad smell of drains and excessive noise when the shower pump in the en-suite is running, the garden is not maintained, and some new cooking utensils would be nice. Also, some of the rings on the hob no longer work

We had a really fabulous stay at Blue Poppy House. Wed read a couple of earlier reviews just before we left which were a little worrying, but it looks as though all concerns raised must have been well and truly addressed. The house was beautiful. Its warm, cosy, wonderfully decorated and had every amenity we needed. There was even a pile of board Read moregames in the little study off the lounge, which was a lovely touch. The garden was well maintained and the house was immaculately clean throughout. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms were so dark and quiet, we had some of the best nights sleep in a long time. There was a good supply of cleaning materials, loo roll and hand soap, good-quality bed linen, and plenty of fluffy white towels. We took our own logs and thoroughly enjoyed the open log fire in the sitting room each evening. Theres also a very good living flame style heater in the dining room, which is very cosy if needed. The location is ideal. Weve already booked our next stay and cant wait to return. Hide

All in all we enjoyed our stay it was perfect for the 8 of us and the dog, plenty of room and space, would recommend. Hide
