About this property
Resting in a popular but peaceful setting in Beadnell in Northumberland, Portland is an outstanding, detached holiday home which is perfect for a large family get-together or holiday of family and friends. The cool, contemporary style of the property is established from the get-go with the hugely impressive open-plan living space which includes a tasteful seating area tucked away under the feature wooden staircase making a really comfy and inviting spot in which to gather together and enjoy spending time chilling out. The sleek kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to produce high quality food for the entire holiday party. The breakfast bar provides the perfect opportunity for guests to pull up a stool, pour themselves a drink and keep the designated chef company. When it’s time for dinner, guests can make their way to the large, rustic dining table where you can imagine many long, leisurely meals being had while guests can enjoy drinking and dining together and really getting into the holiday mood. Adjoining the dining area are attractive French doors which lead outside, offering the chance for some alfresco drinking and dining as well as a great space for children and any pets to run around safely while the adults can relax. All that fresh sea air will no doubt have tired out the guests, so when it’s time for bed, you can choose from four superb bedrooms; all of which are beautifully presented, have mesmerising views and boast their own TVs, so no need to worry about missing your favourite programme! After a night recharging your batteries, you can enjoy a long soak in the bath or a quick dip in the shower, and you’re good to go. Beautiful Beadnell is on the doorstep with its fantastic beach and charming selection of shops and amenities. Jump in the car to visit coastal towns and villages including Seahouses, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Alnmouth. Jump in the car for a scenic drive to attractions such as Bamburgh Castle, Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland Country Zoo, Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle and Gardens and you can even take a boat trip to Farne Islands where you might get sightings of unusual birds and even seals. Portland offers guests an outstanding standard of holiday accommodation in a sublime seaside setting.
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.

Also loads of stuff that could be used in the shed too. Wonderful stay and will come back.

Also, there seems to be too few radiators in the living area to keep the room warm so we had to ask for some plug in heaters to get the house warm although Sykes were very responsive and sorted them out the following day. Also we could not get the Freeview working on any of the TVs. Apart from this we enjoyed the house and stay.

Also there were confectionery wrappers under one of the twin beds, the shower heads were filthy with grime, the mat under the window in first floor bedroom with the balcony was soaking wet, the freeview channels were unavailable and we used our own logins for cable. In addition, it was wet weather and every time the back door was opened it resulted in a pool of water on the kitchen floor. The bin store needs the upper bolt reinforced,as in strong winds it is not strong enough to prevent the doors bursting open. The access to the utility room is problematic as the lock is stiff due to the door being tight in the frame; opening the door requires some strength to pull the door towards you to ease the pressure on the yale lock to allow it to turn. The broken latch fitting on the door would suggest that this has been a long-standing issue. There are weeds growing up through the astro turf, which needs attention.
