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.

Property was as described could do with some attention in some areas but we had a good stay. Garden was nice and the location was ideal for both the beach and the village. Beadnell is a good base to explore this beautiful region.

We also used the bus service which was nice to be able to leave the car. ( check the times on the actual bus stop ) there are very nice places to eat out as well, and a good general store selling a good range of items. The house is excellent very comfortable and spotlessly clean, we were lucky with the weather and it was nice to sit out in the garden overlooking the field, as it gets dark look out for the bats. We had a wonderful week and look forward to visiting again.
