This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.

It was also within easy reach of Seahouses so getting shopping, fuel etc was not a problem at all. The rooms were all very comfortable and more than adequately furnished, it definitely felt like a home from home. The outside areas are extensive and I can imagine great to sit outside in warmer weather (but not October!) The only very minor downside was the step down into the main bedroom. This was highlighted but a couple of times, toes were stubbed. Overall an excellent property in a beautiful part of the country.
