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.

Our first visit but won't be out last. Very spacious, well equipped and comfortable.All you need for a home from home with a short walk to plenty of places to eat and of course the beach.We travelled with our 7 year old Autistic none verbal grandson and found the property safe. There are only thumb locks on two of the doors (fire safety) but we put a table in front of them and never used those doors.We had a query about window keys and spoke to the fabulous maintenance guy. He and the lovely owner insisted on attending. Excellent reaction, when to be honest the windows were safe for your average 7 year old. 5 stars from us

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.
