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.
One of our Cottages with the best sky views and a perfect place for a honeymoon.

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 part of a beautiful development of former farm buildings, at Glororum – home also to some of our other cottages, The Bamburgh Coach House ( sleeps 5/6) and The New Dairy (sleeps 4) – ideal for a group of people wanting to holiday in the same place but with their own separate space.
