Neighborhood
Tulip Cottage is located in between historic Bamburgh and the rural farming life in Belford. Ideally situated between the Northumberland coast and wilderness of the Northumberland National Park, you really do have lots to discover. Surrounded by fields, trees and nature, Poppy Cottage has a lush, green backdrop. You can enjoy long, quiet walks and energetic hikes through the countryside. The area is packed with wildlife and even features a nature reserve, so birds like wildfowl and waders can be seen passing through in droves during the winter. Belford has a thriving and friendly market square at its centre brimming with restaurants and inns. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne can be seen from various points around the village and is within easy reach. It’s an ideal base for those wanting to partake in a spot of fishing and golfing. Tulip Cottage is just a short 10-minute drive from the gorgeous coastal town of Bamburgh. Here you’ll find miles of stunning sandy shores and Bamburgh Castle, which is one of the finest castles in the country. Standing on the Northumberland coastline for over 1,400 years, there is a wealth of history to uncover.
Getting Around
Tulip Cottage is located within 20 minutes’ drive time to beautiful areas within Northumberland such as Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell. There are excellent travel links as the cottage is only a short distance from the A1. The closest train station is Chathill, which is roughly a 15-minute drive from Tulip Cottage so local towns in Northumberland can easily be reached via rail. There are a number of bus stops throughout Belford. Hop on the 418 service to explore Bamburgh, Beadnell, Alnwick and Alnmouth amongst others. The X18 route travels between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed with stops in Morpeth, Amble and Seahorses. Newcastle Airport is roughly one hour away by car.
Guests have access to the full cottage. The keys to the property can be accessed via a secure key safe. There is free parking located on site. Please note the washing machine is located in a shared laundry unit on the site.

Great location, good facilities, fair price. Little gestures such as bottle of prosecco, soft drinks and snacks etc were appreciated … Small note for an improved experience : better guidance required regarding how to access property - location of key safe (there are several under the parking arches and they’re not obvious!) and which keys to use / how to turn to open the doors - instructions need to be provided in advance, not in the book, which is inside the property I can’t get into (!) Small gripe though as we had a lovely stay

Overall the accommodation was very comfortable and clean. However, our stay was hampered by an uncomfortable bed, which we reported to Dale during our stay and we understand he is working on resolving the issue. The location was perfect for us close to Bamburgh castle, Seahouses and many other points of natural and historical interest.

The location is excellent. Easy access and parking. Main bedroom double bed very comfortable The shower was a little awkward with the curtains and the mixer taps especially with children

Fantastic location - perfect for exploring Alnwick and Northumberland. Clean, lovely apartment- just right for a short break for our family of 4. Lots of little extra thoughtful touches from our hosts too. Oven gloves and a pizza cutter would be useful additions to the kitchen.

Clean and comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed. The tea, coffee and snacks were a very welcome surprise when we arrived. It was a great place to stay in a central location within a few minutes walk to the town centre. The only negative was that we didn’t receive check in details until 2 hours before we were due to arrive, despite contacting the letting agents 4 times to ask for the information. This was a stressful start to our holiday that we could have done without. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Alnwick.

Spotlessly clean, lovely and warm (we stayed in February) and functional accommodation. It suited our needs.

The house was absolutely great. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed within. Situated so close to the Points of Interest such as Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne, Berwick upon Tweed, Seahouses etc. WIFI was really hit and miss. Roads close by were narrow and more like tracks which could be a bit of a mission in the dark and rain though very little traffic to contend with to be fair

Nice spot. Comfortable stay!

We were hoping for a holiday where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We certainly got that. Tulip Cottage is set in a tranquil and beautiful location but only minutes away from fantastic castles and amazing coastline. With new furnishings literally delivered while we were there, we found everything comfortable and clean plus well equipped kitchen. The downstairs bathroom took a little getting used to especially in the night. We would definitely go back to the cottage and the region.

Booked through Airbnb. Lounge, Bathroom, Bedroom very spaces and comfortable. . Kichen was a little tight for catering and there was nowhere to put foot other than the fridge. The gardens were well maintained with parking for one car. Note for anyone booking through Airbnb : It is host and stays terms and conditions which includes either additional insurance or a damage deposit.

This is a real gem if you want peace and nature. Very comfortable cottage with excellent amenities and although it’s secluded, it is very well situated to explore the area…it’s such a beautiful place to stay. Lovely bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, outside is very well maintained too with patio area and lovely gardens.
