Spring Tides is found nestled in a cul-de-sac amongst similar properties within the heart of the picture perfect coastal village of Beadnell. This semi-detached house has had a full makeover in 2019 and benefits from being adjacent to the water-filled quarry, which attracts an abundance of birdlife. The open plan living area leads to a conservatory, which gives direct access to the rear garden with steps down to the fenced waterside, and the first floor is home to two bedrooms and shower room.
There is a small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops close by, which leads to a long sandy beach that stretches to Seahouses, 2 miles north. Beadnell is a popular holiday destination and the glorious golden sandy beach that’s popular with water-sports enthusiasts is around a 15 minute stroll from Spring Tides. Two miles along 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. Horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by are all available in this popular location. There is a good choice of places to eat, shops and pubs within Seahouses too. A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picture perfect village of Bamburgh, where Holy Island, the birthplace of Christianity in the UK and site of Lindisfarne Castle, can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach.
Just a short drive inland takes you to the market town of Alnwick with its historic cobbled streets, and Alnwick Castle and Gardens are popular visitor attractions. Beach 300 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

Lovely home with peaceful surroundings, just what we were looking for. The bed was so comfortable, and the softest of towels. Everything within walking distance. A great week was had by all. Thank you.

The accommodation was very clean and tidy. The conservatory was very comfortable but cold in the evening due to the fact the heater wasn’t working. The worktop space is very limited in the kitchen when preparing food. The electric shower was not hot enough and the immersion heater is very basic and annoying waiting for the water to heat up. It takes longer to heat than the stated 15 minutes. The bedrooms are modern and tidy. We enjoyed our week and we would return in the future

This cottage is located in a beautiful setting with lots of bird life to watch on the lake. Only a short pleasant walk to the beach and harbour with lots of green space around. The bed was very comfortable which is essential for anyone with back problems. Well equipped with lots of mugs so don’t have to keep washing up. A stair gate would be really useful to stop the dog trying to go upstairs. Whilst my dog never goes upstairs at home he found these particularly fascinating. It was not great on opening the front door on arrival was to see all the cleaning equipment hoover, steam mop etc dumped on the floor almost under the stairs. This did not give a great first impression and according to your laminated A-Z information sheet - great idea by the way - these should have been in the bathroom cupboard. This just demonstrated a lack of care had been taken with the cleaning. With very little effort this cottage could go from good to excellent but I would still recommend.
