Top Croft is found in the heart of the picture-perfect coastal village of Beadnell and lies adjacent to an inlet of water, attracting swans and an abundance of birdlife. The wide expanse of golden sandy beach Beadnell Bay is renowned for, is a short 2-minute stroll away and a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops is close by and leads to a long sandy beach that stretches to Seahouses, 2 miles north.
Beadnell is a popular all year round holiday destination and offers local facilities including a well-stocked village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food, all within a gentle stroll. Just 2 miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where boat trips around the nearby Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, departing regularly from its harbour. Here there are also several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops, with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by.
A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress, with beautiful beach walks and a picture postcard village centre with quaint tea rooms and galleries. 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). 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. Longstone Park is a great place from which to explore, with the whole of Northumberland within easy reach.

Very kind of the owners to make contact when there was a power cut during our stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable, although heating was tricky and the electric shower is not up to the job.

We (including our pet dog) very much enjoyed our recent 4-nights stay at Top Croft in Beadnell (Northumberland). Once warmed up the first floor maisonette was very comfortable, as well as being very clean and well equipped. It was nice to be welcomed with milk and biscuits! We had reason to interact with the owner who was friendly and helpful. Beadnell itself is an attractive little village with plenty of interesting features, including the lime kilns down at the harbour. We also appreciated many other local attractions – Holy Island, Seahouses, castles, Farne Islands boat trip.
