Itâs a beautiful home but itâs looking rather tired now. We appreciate that constant occupancy means maintenance is not prioritised but close for a week and get it sorted. Thereâs nothing major, the curtains in the main bedroom are clinging on for dear life, the bathroom fixtures are loose and some are redundant, the stair carpet is stained and looking tired, paintwork needs touching up, there are insufficient pans, glasses for a party of six, and the rug in the living room is fraying and needs replacing. Despite the constant updates over the years, (new TV, new sofas, new blinds, and new dining chairs) they are overshadowed somewhat by an overall feeling of increasing neglect. That said, and we have loved our stays there, it is a delightfully warm home, light airy, and nicely furnished. Its location on the quiet, intimate, and modern estate is only a few hundred yards from the amazing Beadnell beach which is simply magnificent. Do the pros outweigh the cons? A plethora of other accommodations in the area mean that there are a lot to choose from, and the discerning traveller needs to feel secure with their decision. We shall see.

Some minor maintenance issues that you would expect towards the end of the season, but nothing that would stop me recommending or booking again.There were three of us - all 50+ ladies. Perfect space for cooking, eating, yoga and dancing. Plenty of places to dry our swimsuits and great choice of blankets for sitting outside after our long walks and beach run.

Great location , well equipped, and very comfortable. Perhaps this visit we noticed it could do with some cosmetic tlc in places , just some marks on the walls , wobbly artificial plants and broken toilet roll holder but it must be difficult to get these jobs done when it is always occupied ! The only other area of improvement I can think of is some comfort seating for outside - the fixed bench isnât often in the sun so we used our beach chairs but would be nice to have something a bit more substantial. There were a couple of padded chairs in the store but not enough for 6 guests. Overall though , still our favourite Beadnell property to stay , so much so we have booked again for next year !
