The welcoming village of Beadnell offers local facilities with two family friendly pubs serving food, and a local village shop, which are all less than a mile from Puffin Place. Two miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where there are boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands, which depart regularly from its harbour. Here there are several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops.
A further 3 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!).

Been visiting Beadnell for 15 years. Accomodation was great and well equipped. Just a short walk to the Landing of the Beach so very close. Easy to walk t9 the other bars like the Craster Arms or the Beadnell Towers.

Excellent accommodation on the whole ….couple of small points . The bed in small bedroom is slightly damaged so mattress doesn’t fit in correctly. The door catch on master bedroom doesn’t work and the one in lounge needs adjusting .

Puffin place is perfectly situated for the beach,local shops and pubs. Nice enclosed garden for your dog with room to sit outside when the sun shines. Warm and welcoming feel to the place when you walk in.A few maintenance issues that look like they have been made aware of in the visitors book already.Cleanliness was overall good except our dog sniffed out some pizza crusts under the sofa..Personally I didn't get on with the double bed mattress as it felt like sleeping in a hammock, really needs replacing ..but that's just my opinion.This is our second time staying in puffin place and probably not the last. Thanks.
