Great location - very short walking distance to nice pubs/restaurants and the beach! Also not far to travel to Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island and Alnwick (we did all of these as day trips whilst we stayed here). There is a small kids play park literally outside the garden gate which was brilliant for us!! I havenât got anything negative to say, would definitely book again. Weâd just recommend getting some new mattress sheets as the ones during our stay kept pinging off during the night.

The property was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. The location was ideal â Beadnell is a charming village, peaceful and quiet, yet just a very short drive from Seahouses, Bamburgh, and Holy Island. One of the highlights was being just a 1-minute walk from the beach, which made for lovely early morning walks and easy seaside access. Overall, a truly perfect stay!! We only had issue with reaching out Sykes cottages regarding some booking modification, it took around 3 to 4 days to get response after extensive follow up on emails/phones/social media.

The only thing I would advise, is to move the key safe, to outside the cottage. As at present itâs outside the front window of the neighboring property. Would definitely return
