Stay in cottages like palaces, near castles
First class holidays are the order of the day with new Northumberland self catering holiday cottage operator, Grace Darling Holidays.
Providing a legendary holiday experience as unique as the bewitching north Northumberland coast is the mission of Grace Darling Holidays, who have just launched Bamburgh First, their premier collection of hand-picked five star boutique properties in and around the stunning village of Bamburgh.
Grace Darling Holidays is the brainchild of TV Producer Simon Mallinson, whose own childhood memories are filled with epic summer adventures on Bamburgh’s wave-blasted beaches overlooked by its dramatic castle, hide and seek in the dune grasses and blackberrying along weaving countryside paths.
Simon’s love of the area and a vision to offer a self catering holiday experience with top end quality, combines the luxury and service of a five star hotel with the intimacy and convenience the self catering option provides.
“Bamburgh First is like staying in a superbly located five star hotel,” he explains. “The difference is our guests have the whole place to themselves.”
And it’s not just the contemporary interiors, one-off artworks and hi-tech gadgets such as state-of-the-
There’s a raft of optional extras that allow you to make your holiday as bespoke and unique as you wish. Or of course, you can opt to hole up in glorious seclusion, bar a stroll to the village shop to pick up your complementary morning paper.
Special extras Bamburgh First offers (if required) start with little touches like a helping hand to clear away the breakfast dishes, a linen service mid week and your shopping delivered.
More decadent extras include a personal chef who will create a meal for you using the freshest and best local produce – or even use the catch landed by you earlier on a fishing trip organised by Bamburgh First.
On the doorstep is a wealth of historic, cultural and entertainment experiences with castles galore, the famous Farne Islands, Alnwick Garden and the holy island of Lindisfarne.
To make your holiday experience even more unforgettable, Bamburgh First offers a “by special arrangement”
Whether that’s Lindisfarne oysters and champagne on the battlements of Bamburgh Castle, a Northumberland wildlife safari or a tea party for the ladies at Howick Hall, home of Earl Grey tea, you choose and Bamburgh First will make it happen.
“It’s all about creating unforgettable memories and experiences,”
“A Bamburgh First holiday takes people out of their everyday lives and offers them a truly exclusive experience in what is a very special part of the world.”
Bamburgh First has nine five star rated properties sleeping from three to eight, in and around Bamburgh, all of which have been newly revamped and individually designed.
Whether you want to stay in the heart of this friendly village with its specialist shops and plenty of places to eat and drink or tuck away into the countryside at Dukesfield, Bamburgh First’s flag ship collection of converted farm stead cottages on the fringe of the village, the choice is yours. Prices for a week’s rental start from £365.
