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.

Had a lovely week staying here at Spring Tides. The house is located in a lovely quiet and peaceful area. It has a lot of outdoor space and a nice view over an area of water which is home to lots of birds. It was great just to sit in the garden and watch them. The house is very well equipped but unfortunately there was no hairdryer, so take one if you need one. I had to order a cheap one from Amazon. It's just a short walk to Beadnell Bay beach (stunning beach) and other beaches such as Seahouses and Banburgh are nearby and walkable. All are dog friendly. There is a lovely pub with a large beer garden and a hotel close by (10 minutes walk), both offer a good food menu. Also near the church and pub there is a cute little bistro cafe serving drinks and tapas. At the sea front there is a village shop selling all sorts of essentials and a mobile fish and chips van on the green (gorgeous fish) a bit costly but worth the treat. The only negative thing I can say about the property is the open staircase. Not good when you have a dog that wants to follow you up on a night. Maybe a gate at the bottom would solve it. Overall we had an enjoyable holiday and absolutely loved staying in this area and in this property. We would definitely revisit again. Thank you Spring Tides 😊

Shower not working which as been put in the book a couple of times witch nobody as looked at, not good having cold showers. Needs cleaning better special under sofa which as never been cleaned, no mirrow in bedroom, could do with a child gate bottom of stairs to stop dog going up stairs.Nice location looking onto the old quarry like a small lake watching different birds just needs those final touches.

The cottage was perfect for a weeks stay in Northumberland. Enjoying a drink in garden overlooking the lake was peaceful watching the birds. It was only a short 10mins walk to the beach which was great for ourselves and our four legged friend. I would highly recommend the cottage for its location and its very well kitted out with all you would need. John and Gillian.
