Merrywind is a handsome detached property commanding incredible sea views in the highly sought after holiday village of Beadnell and is only 20 yards from the beach. Following a complete makeover throughout, this spacious property offers stylish and immaculate self-catering accommodation to a luxurious standard. The L-shaped open plan living area enjoys the friendly comfort of a wood-burning stove, idyllic to nestle in front of and watch the dramatic sea views from the large picture windows. The dining area leads to a cosy sun room, a pleasant space to relax and look out onto the rear garden. The contemporary kitchen is very well-appointed and there is also the convenience of a shower room on the ground floor. All three bedrooms are positioned on the first floor, two with sea views and one with the convenience of en-suite shower facilities. There is also an immaculate and large family bathroom. A fully enclosed garden makes a great place for children and dogs to play whilst dining alfresco and listening to the waves lap against the shoreline.
Beadnell is a well known holiday destination which offers local facilities including a village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food. Beadnell Bay is a glorious stretch of golden sandy beach and can truly be described as the jewel in Northumberland’s seaside crown; idyllic for a romantic barefoot stroll in the sand to listening to the waves lap against the shoreline and inhale the invigorating sea air. It’s also popular for watersports enthusiasts including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops is a stone’s throw from Merrywind and leads to a long sandy beach that stretches two miles to the traditional fishing port of Seahouses where boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, depart regularly from its harbour. Seahouses offers several charming tea rooms, amusements and shops with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by being only a sample of the many amenities available in this popular location. A further three miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes. Holy Island, the birthplace of Christianity and site of Lindisfarne Castle, can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. Just a few miles inland is the bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle (and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Academy!). Visitors will enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden, a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe!
With three bedrooms and three shower facilities, Merrywind is an excellent choice for the gathering of families and friends seeking a prestigious coastal retreat to rest and refresh with easy access to one of the most glorious beaches in Northumberland, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A lovely week in Merrywind. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Excellent location for the beach and easy drive to Alnwick, Bamburgh and Craster. Great children’s playground in Beadnall. The Salt Water Cafe by Beadnall Church was very good. Fish and chip van very handy too. The small village store had run out of lots of things but that was probably to be expected on a very sunny Bank Holiday. Not far to drive to Seahouses for supermarket.

A beautiful house with wonderful views of the sea. The house was very clean and the wine, shortbread and milk were a lovely gesture. Had a great week there and will certainly return.
