The wide expanse of golden sandy beach Beadnell Bay is renowned for is around half a mile away. A popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, Beadnell Bay can truly be described as the jewel in Northumberland’s seaside crown and is idyllic for a romantic barefoot stroll in the sand. A couple of miles up the coastline is 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. Here there are several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops. 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!).

Wayside is well equipped and comfortable; we particularly appreciated the very comfortable beds! The view from the sitting room is very relaxing - cows grazing, large skies - what more to want after a busy day? I did like that, other than pictures, the house is not cluttered. My grandsons had a great time in the pool room. (snooker not swimming!)The local shop and small bay are just 10 minutes walk away. Beadnell Bay is about 25 minutes walk or short drive. Both the local pub and hotel are good, but recommend booking first.

Fabulous holiday home with everything needed for a great family holiday. A real home from home, with wonderful views, close to excellent local amenities, in walking distance to the beach and a generous welcome pack. This was our third visit and we would definitely recommend Wayside.

This was our third year at wayside and the cottage and location remain fantastic. It is at a peaceful end of beadnell, with a wonderful open outlook from the sunny rear garden. It is quiet and peaceful, yet close to all of the best beaches and villages in the area.However, I can only give four stars this year as I feel the cottage needs some tlc. The marks that were on the carpet three years ago are still there. The chips and scuffs in the paintwork from last year have been joined by some more. Some smal patched of mould are starting to form in the windows and downstairs bathroom. These are not big issues but I find them annoying when you are paying a high price for a week's rental. We plan to return next year as, overall, the cottage remains wonderful. Hopefully these small maintenance issues will have been addressed by then.
