Guests say
Gullsway is a well-located cottage praised for its spaciousness, proximity to the beach, and comfortable bedding. The property has received positive remarks for its scenic surroundings and well-equipped kitchen. While some guests noted areas needing improvement, the overall experience is seen as good value for money, with many expressing a desire to return.
Cleanliness has been noted as an area for improvement, with some guests mentioning the need for a deep clean, stained mattress protectors, and a musty smell. However, the kitchen and some other areas were found to be very clean, indicating inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local shops, and eateries. Guests appreciate the quiet beach and the scenic walks available, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway.
The property is generally considered comfortable, with a cosy living room, good water pressure, and comfortable beds. However, some guests found certain mattresses uncomfortable and noted that some furnishings could be updated for enhanced comfort.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen and sufficient crockery. However, guests have reported issues with maintenance such as broken garden chairs, a smoking oven, and a non-functional shower holder, suggesting a need for better upkeep.
While some guests mentioned a welcome pack and a small cleaning pack, there is not enough consistent information about the provision of gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Gullsway is a detached single-storey cottage directly facing the sea in the picture postcard coastal village of Beadnell. Situated on the prestigious Harbour Road; Gullsway offers immaculately presented self-catering holiday accommodation. There is a cosy wood burner in the living room where the sea views are mesmerising. To the rear of the property is a fully enclosed patio garden; an idyllic place to dine alfresco.
Beadnell is a popular holiday destination and offers local facilities including a well-stocked village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food all within a gentle stroll from Gullsway. This is a popular destination for water-sports enthusiasts, including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. It can truly be described as the jewel in Northumberland’s seaside crown; idyllic for a romantic barefoot stroll in the sand, to listen to the waves lap against the shoreline and inhale the invigorating sea air. Two 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 with horse-riding, fishing and golf on the links close by, this being only a sample of the many amenities available in this popular location. 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. Holy Island – known as the birthplace of Christianity, and is the site of Lindisfarne Castle, can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. 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 enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden – a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe!
Gullsway is an excellent choice for those seeking very smart coastal accommodation, conveniently situated within easy walking distance to a beautiful expanse of golden sands, making this a superb selection for a traditional seaside holiday set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Beach 30 yards. Shop 100 yards, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

Absolutely loved the accommodation. Great locaton, within a few minutes walk from the beach or pubs. The accommodation was clean, presentable and very equipped. It would of been nice to have a walk in shower but was not a problem. Would definitely recommend a d would definitely visit again.The only negative about the trip was having to plan your shopping. The nearest big supermarket was 10 miles away. 5/5 ❤️

We arrived to find not a single tea bag, no coffee and not a drop of milk just to make a welcome drink. There were some biscuits left in the kitchen by the kettle, we assumed were the welcome pack. These were out of date. We looked around and found that the dishwasher had dishes still in there, we didn't know if they were clean or not. We later found out the oven wasn't working. There was no tea towel in the kitchen and only a few sheets of kitchen paper left. In the bathroom there wasn't even toilet paper!!The living room looked lovely (larger than the oics) and we decided to warm up by lighting the wood burning stove. Sadly, there wasn't anything to light a fire - we wouldn't expect lots of logs, but not even a few bits and some kindling for arrival.We didn't know at first, but the small local shop closed at 4pm, so there's no chance to stock up after exploring the property.There was only 1 double bed made up with a bottom sheet, so be clear up front if you want to use all the bedrooms. We did report things after arrival and were asked to leave the key next morning so the oven could be fixed. As we weren't sure if we could cook, we had to stay out all day. On returning we did find the oven fixed and a welcome pack with teabags, coffee, biscuits, toilet rolls and even tea towels had been supplied. Sadly, we were checking out next morning, so it was too late for it to make up the poor reception on arrival. There are many choices locally, go elsewhere!!!
