The Chimney Reviews

Amanda
A super space for a family of 6 adults and 2 children, this was our second stay and just as wonderful as the first. Extremely well equipped, quiet and comfortable and close to so many wonderful places to visit. Definitely recommend.
The cottage was everything we wanted. Perfect position for exploring the area, very well equipped, spotlessly clean, lovely practical and stylish kitchen and we will definitely be back. Will also be recommending it to family and friends.
The property was beautiful. There was lots of room for the 7 of us to enjoy from the amazing kitchenliving area to the comfortable snug. The Christmas decorations were so lovely too. Great location. Definitely recommend.
What a great place The Chimney is! Even better than the images suggest. Everything in there that youd need and lovely welcome goodies on arrival. As it was Christmas it was decorated with a tree and lights which was just perfect. A nice 15 minute walk into Bamburgh centre which is good for burning off pub meals and a couple of pints. We are regular visitors to Bamburgh so will definitely look to rebook this wonderful house in the future
Amazing house. . beautifully decorated and furnished. Very cosy and warm throughout. Lovely welcome box with some essentials. Close to Bamburgh, Seahouses and Lindisfarne. Would highly recommend.
A Hidden Gem The Chimney Made Our Celebration Unforgettable We stayed at The Chimney to celebrate my uncles 80th birthday, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the place radiated warmth and charm. The accommodation was beautifully presentedimmaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and full of character. It felt like a perfect blend of comfort and style. The layout was ideal for a gathering.The kitchen was wellequipped, making it easy to cater for a large group, and the bedrooms were cozy and peaceful. My uncle was absolutely delighted, and we all agreed it was the perfect setting for such a milestone celebration. We left with full hearts and wonderful memoriesand were already talking about coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay.
Our all too short stay at the chimney was superb! It had everything we needed , in a perfect spot. Its a truly beautiful place and we all enjoyed staying together in one beautiful house. We will definitely be back x
Amazing holiday cottage such a high standard of furnishing and so spacious. Everything we could think of was provided including a stair gate, travel cot, sewing kit, beach toys etc. The location is the real winner though being minutes from Bamburgh beach which we got to spend two sunny days on. We would absolutely stay again.
A fantastic base for a family holiday with 3 generations. Clean and so well equipped. Last time we stayed we mentioned the need for more serving dishes and this time we had them! Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home.
Ramesh
The property is one of the best rental houses I have ever stayed in. It is spacious, clean and well resourced. The lighting in the kitchen was inadequate. Suggested improvements Better lighting in the kitchen The Nespresso machine worked but not very well A slow cooker would be an ideal addition Overall very good
What a fantastic property. It accommodates 3 generations with ease . So many extra touches we werent expecting . I cant think of anything which could be added to improve our stay. We wouldnt hesitate to book again. Thank you .
Charlie
Everyone in our party loved the Chimney and we all agreed that we would be back for a future stay. The Chimney exceeded our expectations and is full of character and the combination of four bedrooms and four bathrooms is a winner. The two lounges are also an excellent feature. Loved it and would struggle to suggest any improvements.
A fabulous week away at The Chimney. The house was spacious, very well equipped and lovely and warm in a beautiful, peaceful and quiet setting just outside Bamburgh.We were extremely lucky with the weather, sunny but cold and the house is well positioned for visiting the glorious coastline and Holy Island. Off peak some of the attractions may not be open but the lack of crowds and ease of parking more than compensated for this and we had plenty to fill our days and lots of great places nearby to eat out whatever your requirements. Highly recommended we will be back.
Beautiful property with lots of space and very well equipped
Stephen
Needs a cafetiere which the local agency very kindly brought over Saturday morning. A little bit more firewood would have been great, but not a deal breaker and appreciate that wood is pretty pricey atm. Lovely spacious property, but a floor plan would be helpful on listing so as to understand the layout of bedrooms and bathrooms.
Gordon
This is our second stay at the chimney and it was just as enjoyable. The Chimney is a lovely comfortable well equipped property. It feels very homely and we had a great stay. Thank you.
Even better than we imagined new garden furniturebarbeque and wood burner. Fantastic location. Private surroundings but within easy access of all the local attractions and within walking distance of Bambrough village beaches and castle. Really cannot wait to return.
Superb cottage in stunning location. Well equipped and gorgeous decor. Fabulous for our family celebration. Only fault was that some of the wooden garden furniture was rotten and unusable. Would return in a heartbeat though.
Fabulous clean and comfortable house. Great beds and views to die for! Wonderful location in easy reach of resources Some serving spoons, side plates and more wine glasses would have been good, waste paper bins in the bedrooms Also 3 dishwasher tablets and one j cloth was a little inadequate. We like to eat in and resorted to washing up! These are minor issues but worth some thought Overall we were delighted with the property and enjoyed our stay in Northumberland. Thank you
Maxine
Beautiful property and stunning location with beautiful views of castle Plenty of secure offroad parking spaces A floor plan would be helpful before arrival, unless I missed it Bedding and towels all very clean and white All beds very comfortable Everyone slept well all week Living room settees very comfortable and excellent quality of furnishings throughout the property in all rooms Snug room fantastic for our teenager and comfortable and warm Loved the kitchen layout and big fridge freezer and ice on tap. Fabulous! A little bit disappointed with welcome pack. No milk bread or cold items Utility room facilities brilliant. Excellent washer and tumble dryer A few cobwebs in some areas but expected for the location Strong drain smells, particularly in upstairs main bathroom and downstairs shower room Kitchen extractor fan didnt work nor did lights above it A fabulous stay for our family We really enjoyed it all and will return and will definitely recommend Thank you
Claire
Fabulous space for a group of eight and had everything you would need! Beautiful views of the castle and great outdoor spaces! Would thoroughly recommend.
A lovely spacious and comfortable cottage.
A fabulous home that was well equipped for 8 guests. A very generous welcome package that we really enjoyed. Great location.
Fantastic house everyone enjoyed our stay at the Chimney the best one yet! Loved it thank you!
Just an amazing place cleaning, tidy and perfectly positioned
Jonathan
An amazing property 1 mile walk into Banbury although it is down Lucker Road with no pedestrian walkway. The cottage was amazing with all the amenities you could need. The weather was a tad unkind, but when there is such a lovely haven to return to at the Chimney it was wonderful. A real shame there were no clear night skies as there is even a telescope to explore the Northumbrian galaxy
What a wonderful property a home from home. We had a wonderful week with family and friends. The property is set just far enough out of Bamburgh with lovely walking and cycling routes.
A stunningly stylish house, extremely comfortable and well equipped
Our second visit to The Chimney, we loved it again.
A wonderful property, with a stylish but relaxing, comfortable and cosy interior everything had been carefully thought about. With easy access to a stunning coastline, towns and history this was the perfect family base.
What a wonderful place to spend a holiday. Beautifully decorated. Plenty of space and yet still very cosy and homely. Loved staying here. Will book again.
Excellent property and furnished to a very high standard!
