About this property
This homely, mid-terraced property rests on Longbeach Drive, a quiet estate, only 3 minutes walk away from the main sandy beach and harbour of Beadnell Bay, one of the finest beaches on the Northumberland Coast AONB. Well-equipped in a cosy neutral décor, this cottage welcomes both couples and families wishing to explore this beautiful coastline. Put your feet up in the charming sitting room, taking advantage of the Smart TV with the opportunity to access multiple HD Freeview channels and the potential to access Netflix and Amazon Prime using your own user details. The kitchen is compact but well-equipped to cater for a week long break, so you’ll have no trouble in preparing meals morning, noon and night. Head upstairs to find the bedrooms, including a refreshing king-size double in one and 2 x single beds in the other which are perfect for children and adults alike, this room also has the bonus of having views of the sea. The interior is complete with the family bathroom with bath and shower over, so you can prepare for the day however you prefer. Make the most of the secure private patio garden where you can enjoy an alfresco meal or simply savour a cold drink in the sunshine.
Beadnell has a small but well equipped shop for picking up any essentials, and multiple pubs and restaurants, ideal if you don’t fancy cooking one evening. The market town of Alnwick, with its famous castle and gardens, is a short drive away, while Bamburgh, Seahouses, Holy Island and the rest of the glorious Heritage Coast are on the doorstep, waiting to be discovered. An inviting cottage in a convenient location, promising a family holiday to remember, any time of year.
Resting along the Northumberland Heritage Coastline at the end of a glorious stretch of beach known as Beadnell Bay, is the peaceful village of Beadnell. The village itself is split, between the area around the harbour and the village nearer the main road. There is a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Closeby is Bamburgh and Alnwick which boast a range of amenities.

We loved it. Just a few very minor points: The kitchen tap drips unless you turn it off really tight. A small portable radio in the kitchen would be nice. A sharp kitchen knife and some better quality kitchen utensils rather than flimsy plastic ones too. Like I said, all minor as overall it was lovely and we definitely hope to stay again. Thank you.

The accommodation was perfect for us in many respects and convenient to local electric vehicle charging points and the beach. It was lovely and clean, nicely decorated. The king-size bed was very comfortable and a big plus for us when we came to select this property. Whilst we were there, there was some poor weather including a bad storm - so we spent more time in the property than we would usually and this meant sat watching TV! But unfortunately we both found the sofas uncomfortable and my partner ended up with a bad back; hence the 4 stars. The only thing I felt was missing from the property was somewhere to put bathroom paraphernalia. Could do with a couple of shelves to put toiletries etc. Bin collection - maybe I missed it in the handbook, but it wasn't obvious which bin needed to be left out that week (I looked it up on the council website). So don't know if that could be printed off to avoid someone else putting wrong bin out? The keybox is in a bit of an odd location, and you effectively have to stand on next doors property to access it.
