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.

The only minor issue to mention is that I found myself sneezing the whole weekend, I think it may be due to all of the fluffy pillows and throws, which likely hold a lot of dust. I can see the aesthetic in them but maybe less is more! Overall however, we found the house to be really lovely!

Itâs a lovely house and in a great location for walking, cycling and generally exploring this superb area. The house is very clean, comfortable, quiet and very well equipped. The garden is spacious, quiet and a great place to sit out. Highly recommended indeed.
