This is a popular destination for watersport enthusiasts, with activities including sailing, sea kayaking, windsurfing and scuba diving.

One mile 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 with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by. A further 3 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.
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). Visitors will also enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden – a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grande Cascade Waterfall and restaurant, which is set within the largest tree house in Europe!

The property was in a nice location in Beadnell, nice quiet estate with no parking issues encountered. The property was a good size for the 3 of us, nice welcome pack of tea, coffee and crisps. The outside decking area was nice and a real sun trap but it is absolutely filthy, cobwebs on every surface and the white balustrade hasn’t been cleaned for a very long time as it was black, the garden area had cigarette ends, weeds etc, no effort in making it look nice, the lack of cleanliness continued into the house, every room had only received a very basic clean for a very long time, the skirting boards in all rooms were thick with caked on dust and dirt, the conservatory windows and doors filthy and disgusting and the floor hadn’t been cleaned as I wiped it after spilling some tea and it was black, the headboard in main bedroom was covered in hair and dust and the bathroom was also very grubby, icebox in fridge was frozen solid and was unusable, cutlery drawer wasn’t clean so I had to clean every piece of cutlery before using it, 2 dining room chairs had loose legs/back, the cooker control had worn out markings so you can’t see what setting you are on, the shower in bathroom was very poor water pressure, this property had the potential to be great but is let down by whoever is responsible for cleaning and maintenance because there just isn’t any being done, I would not recommend this property until the company take notice of these reviews which they obviously aren’t at the moment

We had a great stay at Water's Edge. The small lake attracted hundreds of birds; Martins and swallows in particular. The beaches nearby are glorious. It's 60 years since we played football on Beadnell beach and learned to sail at Lower Newton. Those beaches have barely changed. The Craster Arms is a 5 minute walk away, lovely local. The accommodation was excellent.
