About this property

5* Unique & Beautiful Country Cottage

Bridge Cottage is a 3 bedroom traditional Northumbrian stone cottage, accommodating 6 guests. The cottage is hidden away near the tranquil Northumbrian village of Ellingham, yet just 2 minutes from the A1.

Located a short drive from the famous Bamburgh, Alnwick and Lindisfarne castles and Scottish Borders, Bridge Cottage makes for an excellent position to explore Northumberland.

Renovated from top to bottom in 2019, the cottage offers luxurious furnishings and is equipped to a very high standard.

​Bookings run from Saturday - Saturday.

Designed by Cathy Dean and her team in 2019, Bridge Cottage is uniquely decorated and full of modern statements. The vaulted ceilings, bespoke joinery and contemporary colour scheme combine to create a striking interior.

The large open plan kitchen/dining room complete with underfloor heating creates an inviting social space. Combined with the panoramic rural and sea views, you're assured to disconnect from everyday life.

Parking for 3 cars is available on the spacious private drive including an electric charging point. Plentiful outdoor lighting provides a welcoming and easy entrance into the property at night.

The generous sized rooms provide a sense of luxury and a place for everyone to find privacy when needed, be it the open kitchen/dining area, gorgeous living room or garden.

All modern home comforts are provided for including fibre WiFi at 80Mbps, Egyptian cotton towels, washer/dryer, fully equipped kitchen, smart TV and SONOS.

Sitting on the edge of Ellingham Estate, wildlife including deer and pheasants are seen regularly.

The dining room sliding doors open onto the south-facing elevated patio, blending indoor and outdoor living space. Enjoy a BBQ overlooking the stream and tiered garden which teems with colour and mimics scenes from 'The Secret Garden'.

The garden is the dream hide-and-seek location for kids where they can spend hours of unforgettable fun.

Idyllic cottage in Alnwick area
The cottage and garden was charming and exceptionally clean. All amenities were as advertised - and the beds were super comfortable. Decor was industrial chic and stunning. I would only mention steps down into the bathrooms may be something to consider for anyone with limited mobility. The location was very rural and quiet which was what we wanted - and yet very accessible to the A1. The back porch was a joy to sit on early and late in the day to watch the birds and the hares in the meadow behind the house. The location is perfect for visiting Alnwick, Seahouses and Bamburgh and beyond. Host provided good info but nite two different post codes were noted in the email we received. The cottage is actually closer to Newham and Ellingham - we found it on our second try without having to contact the host. Overall five stars and a terrific base for both relaxing and exploring!

New Year in Northumberland
What a beautiful cottage. Very well placed via a short drive for lovely walks on the beach. Recommend the Landing at Beadnell for a glass is something after the beach.

Peace and tranquility in the Northumbrian countryside
The thing we loved so much about Bridge Cottage was that contrast of a gorgeous, contemporary space right in the heart of the idyllic Northumbrian countryside. The joy was being able to spend days on the huge, wild beaches or up to the Cheviots to go wild swimming and then return to the luxury of the cottage to cook in the beautiful open plan kitchen. Other days we simply hung out on the balcony with the views south across the fields or just lounged on huge sofas in the living room. Perfect!

About the host

Hello!

All of our properties hosted on VRBO are or have been a second home for the family. As a consequence they have been lived in by ourselves, ensuring they are fully equipped and filled with the modern comforts of home. Their locations have been chosen for their convenience and the beautiful surroundings they find themselves in.

I started managing the properties in 2015 and prioritise our guest's requests with efficient action and work constantly to exceed first impressions for a guest's check in.

I work part-time at a chartered surveying firm and spend all other waking hours on my start-up doing what Airbnb do but for camping and glamping.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
James
