About this property
Located in the heart of beautiful Beadnell in Northumberland, Polished Pebble is an immaculate single-storey property ideal for a family on holiday or a small group of family and friends. The open-plan living space is bright and airy with ample seating arranged in front of a stove-effect fire which with the addition of tasteful soft furnishings and décor in delicate hues, creates a warm and welcoming ambience. The stylish, fully fitted kitchen is a joy to cook in and thanks to an attractive breakfast island where guests can pull up a chair and keep the chef company, makes for a really sociable space. Outside there are enclosed gardens and a patio area complete with patio furniture and a barbecue, all ready for guests to enjoy spending time alfresco. When it’s time for bed, you can choose from three delightful bedrooms; they are all different but offer the same high standard of style and quality. After a restful night, you’ll be raring to go in the morning, so take a quick dip in the shower or have a soak in the bath, and you’ll be ready to explore the delights of Beadnell and beyond. Within walking distance of the house are the sandy beach, harbour and shops and amenities of Beadnell. Coastal towns and villages to call past include Seahouses, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Alnmouth. Jump in the car for a scenic drive to attractions such as Bamburgh Castle, Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland Country Zoo, Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and Gardens and you can even take a boat trip to Farne Islands where you might get sightings of unusual birds and even seals. For a memorable coastal stay in an immaculately presented holiday home, Polished Pebble ticks all the boxes.
This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s 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. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.

Very comfortable and spacious, fully equipped kitchen and ample parking spaces. Comfortable beds and good showers. Would definitely rebook when visiting this beautiful part of Northumbria.

We had some issues regarding some of the rooms - wardrobe off the runners in main bedroom (had been mentioned by previous visitors), broken cistern in en suite, temporary repair made pending new parts, leaking kitchen tap ( to be repaired at the same time as the toilet cistern). Electric plugs showed next review for November 2023! Maybe we were unlucky but more attention needed. Sykes were vey good at trying to deal with the issues.

The decor was amazing with great attention to detail. The listing stated that there was a bbq but we never found it, and an outside tap/hose would have been massively beneficial for washing off sandy sandy wetsuits and equipment, but apart from that the cottage had everything we needed and we totally loved it!
