About this property
Turning Tide, a well-appointed, three-bedroom home rests in the harbour village of Beadnell, upon the Northumberland Coast AONB. Just a stone's throw away from the beach and a selection of amenities, Turning Tide offers a well-equipped base for a family of seven, whilst also welcoming one well-behaved dog. Park up on the private driveway, unloading your belongings with ease, before stepping indoors to be greeted by the living/dining room, stylishly furnished with plush seating, a bench-style dining table, and a rustling woodburning stove. Relax and unwind in this space, with a good book in hand, whilst the designated chef of your group becomes acquainted with the fully integrated kitchen. After a homecooked meal and a film night, slope off to sleep in one of the three bedrooms on offer, including a double with en-suite shower, a further double, and a family room. A spacious bathroom completes the home, providing plenty of space to refresh ahead of your Northumberland itinerary. With Beadnell Bay Beach a short walk away, spend the morning strolling along its golden sands, before heading to the local convenience store to stock up on the essentials, whilst The Landing restaurant offers a wonderful setting to dine, sample some local produce and take in the coastal views. Travel north to visit Seahouses, home to a golf club, bustling harbour, and plenty of amenities, whilst Bamburgh Beach is also a must-visit, well-positioned near the impressive structure of Bamburgh Castle and the characterful Bamburgh Lighthouse. Rerouting south, be sure to tour Dunstanburgh Castle, discover Craster Harbour, and explore Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum, ahead of returning home for supper. Gather your loved ones at Turning Tide.
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.

The hot water system is defective so when hot water is run on the upper level (eg running a bath) it causes hot water to spurt out of the kitchen sink 2. A minor point but there was no starter pack for the wood burning stove as advertised
