Guests say
Lindisfarne View is a peaceful and well-located cottage, ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast and nearby attractions. Guests consistently praise the stunning views, comfortable beds, and the unique addition of a telescope for birdwatching. The property is described as cosy, spacious, and dog-friendly, with easy access to beautiful walks and local amenities. While some mention minor maintenance issues and a need for updated kitchen equipment, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, with particular praise for the cleanliness of the living areas and bedrooms. However, a few reviews noted areas needing improvement, such as kitchen cleanliness and some tired furnishings.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major strength, offering tranquillity, beautiful views over Budle Bay, and proximity to Bamburgh, Seahouses, and local attractions. The peaceful setting and access to walks and birdwatching are especially appreciated.
Guests regularly mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and spacious living areas. The 'upside down' layout with living space upstairs is popular, and the cottage stays cool in summer. A few minor comments about mattress quality and bathroom size were noted.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with good kitchen basics, parking, and amenities like a telescope. Some guests noted missing or worn kitchen items, unclear appliance instructions, and minor maintenance issues, but these did not detract significantly from their stay.
A welcome pack and quick owner responses were mentioned by some guests, but these are not guaranteed. The provision of essentials like dishwasher tablets and kitchen roll was appreciated, though not universal. Information folders and instructions could be improved.

Waren Mill is a beautiful seaside village occupying stunning views across Lindisfarne and Holy Island. For a wider choice of places to eat, take a short 3-mile drive into Bamburgh and Seahouses, or if the tide times are kind, on to Holy Island. 2-minutes from Waren mill is the tranquil seaside escape Budle Bay, a beautiful bird sanctuary with huge mud flats that are exposed at low tide. The whole area is part of the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve and is very popular with birdwatchers, particularly in the winter when thousands of wildfowl and waders spend their winter on the bay’s mud flats.
Various water sports are also popular in Budle Bay in the summer months. The bay provides shallow conditions that are particularly good for kite surfing at any level. Nearby Bamburgh has its own 18-hole golf course at the north end of the village. The course offers stunning views across the beaches, countryside and of Bamburgh Castle, and the village itself is often quoted as the most scenic course in Britain. The course has a clubhouse that welcomes visitors at all times of the year and also serves food for those who choose to play here.
Bamburgh is one of Northumberland’s major visitor attractions. The castle can be seen for miles and today it remains home to the family of the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, open to the public on a daily basis. Bamburgh village is picturesque with neat grey stone cottages facing a manicured village green. There are excellent pubs, hotels with restaurants, a butcher and a couple of village shops for essential groceries.

Such a cosy place to stop in for a holiday and also very peaceful. Well equipped and very comfortable beds. The view was only from the lounge side window but that didn't matter. The owner was extremely helpful when we experienced a power cut. Plenty of hot water and the parking was really close to the property. Really lovely to return to after a days' walking and exploring.
