Skyfall
Glororum, Bamburgh
Settle down on the generous glazed balcony at the rear of this holiday home, and trace the changing Northumberland sky as it descends to meet the rolling Cheviot Hills on the western horizon. Step out of the front door, and that same sky leads the eye down to the sea and the silhouette of Bamburgh’s majestic castle…..Cue the name, Skyfall…
And whilst this cottage may not be quite on the same scale as the film of the same name, it certainly delivers on drama in terms of the vast Northumberland skies, in this spectacular coast meets countryside location!
Of course, inside will have something to live up to, so the interior has been set to reflect its location in a bold, but classic, coastal interior design scheme.
- External traditional stone build but with contemporary features
- First floor living/dining/kitchen area with focal gas-fired log burner maximises the Cheviot hills and coastal views to each side

- Interior colour scheme in rich coastal blues and driftwood-y neutral tones

Location
Just a mile outside of the very popular and picturesque village of Bamburgh with views from the front of Skyfall to Bamburgh Castle and the sea. This cottage is located just outside of a beautiful development of former farm buildings, at Glororum. This development is home to some of our other cottages, The Bamburgh Coach House ( sleeps 5/6), The New Dairy (sleeps 4), The Clock House ( sleeps 4) and The Chimney ( sleeps 8) – ideal for a group of people wanting to holiday in the same place but with their own separate space
For further information on the area, see our Bamburgh section
Please note the google satellite image shows the plot before Skyfall was built.
