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 parking space was inadequate for 2 cars. The downstairs furniture was old and tired with uncomfortable sofa and chairs and a sticky table that place mats stuck to. The welcome pack was paltry for 8 people.

Short walk to the beach which is well suited again for the dog,s. Good base to plan days out and about,we were a group family of seven plus 3 Dog,s all very pleased with our stay, Down stairs loo which was a blessing for the 92yr old father inlaw. Would book again if a larger group family visit.
