About this property
This superb detached cottage is situated in the lovely harbour village of Beadnell, close to the fishing village of Seahouses and the town of Bamburgh. With plenty to see and do within reach makes this delightful holiday home an excellent place to stay. Once inside this lovely cottage you will find a cosy sitting room with woodburner, a perfect place to relax on a cool evening after a days walking along the coastline. Next to the sitting room is a light and airy open plan living area with a modern kitchen, which has all the appliances you need, and completing the ground floor is a convenient basin and WC. Upstairs there are three charming king-size double bedrooms, two of which have the bonus of en-suite facilities, and a small twin bedroom, along with a family bathroom. Outside is a large enclosed lawned garden, where your pet or children can run off excess energy, whilst you relax with a cold drink in hand. Set in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Beauty, Beadnell village has a harbour, a shop, two pubs and a café, as well as a sandy beach. Just 1.5 miles away is Seahouses, another seaside village with further amenities, including a supermarket and restaurant, as well as boat trips to the beautiful Farne Islands. Further afield are Bamburgh and Alnwick, both with their castles and both are well worth a visit, as is the stunning Northumberland National Park. An excellent Northumberland base for a family getaway.
This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberlands Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food.

Lovely large enclosed garden for children and a dog. Very good location, just around the corner from the very large sandy beach and a great base for exploring further along the coast and all the Northumbrian attractions. Would highly recommend.

Extractor fan in kitchen covered in dust with messages written on, also I presume from a past guest. The fence in the garden was broken down and had been propped up with garden furniture, when the man delivered the hot tub he spent time repairing it for us Overall we enjoyed our stay, good location for visiting local sites.

The location is great and so many lovely walks and beaches to explore. Great dog friendly pubs. Lots of castles to visit. Pleased to see the owner has acted on providing larger cereal bowls and a better selection of glasses. Maybe could think about providing a few more cooking dishes and microwave dishes. For those people that may be put off by some of the previous petty comments, donât be. Not many properties would do that well with Four in a Bed style inspections. We are already booked up for next November. Pete
