Spindlestone Cottage

This charming detached stone built cottage, set in three quarters of an acre of land, is surrounded by unspoilt countryside in the hamlet of Spindlestone, next to the Waren Burn which flows under the nearby Spindlestone bridge.

Visitors should be aware that the owners are currently building 2 new stone cottages in the garden and everything possible is being done to minimise disturbance.

At the front of Spindlestone Cottage you have the original sitting room with its open fire, next to the two bedrooms, a twin and a double. Behind them is the refurbished bathroom and kitchen which extends into a new sunny dining and sitting area which spills onto the secluded back garden. Guests can also enjoy the large tiered front and rear gardens and the games room with pool, darts and table tennis, perfect for the very occasional rainy day.

Most guests rent the cottage on its own as a charming secluded space for two or four guests, but it is sometimes rented with the adjacent Spindlestone House for large gatherings of friends or families.  Smart TVs with Netflix are included in all Bamburgh First properties as is a portable Bose Bluetooth speaker, easy lighting fire logs and a box of games including Scrabble, Cluedo and Monopoly.

The owner has also provided personal touches such as a hand selected welcome pack, a voucher for a pound of the famous Bamburgh Banger sausages and his own list of the top 21 things to do whilst spending a week in the area.
