Guests say
Top Croft offers a cosy and well-equipped base in a fantastic location, just moments from the beach and close to local amenities. Guests frequently praise its cleanliness, comfort, and suitability for families and dog owners. The property is bright and welcoming, with thoughtful touches from the owner. While some mention minor maintenance issues and occasional dampness, the overall experience is positive, with many guests keen to return. The flat is ideal for exploring the Northumberland coast and provides excellent value for a relaxing break.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, with fresh linen and towels. However, a few reviews noted issues such as mould in some rooms and occasional dirty kitchenware, which slightly lowered the score.
The location is highly praised, being less than a minute from the beach and close to shops, pubs, and scenic attractions. Guests consistently highlight the convenience and beauty of the area.
The flat is described as cosy and comfortable, with good beds and a homely feel. Some guests found the seating and dining area a bit cramped for four people, and a few mentioned difficulty warming up the property in colder months.
The property is well equipped with kitchen appliances, games, and storage. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as broken tiles, doors needing adjustment, and minor updates required, but these did not significantly impact most stays.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as milk, biscuits, and tea/coffee provided on arrival, as well as prompt communication from the owner. Please note that these gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

The wide expanse of golden sandy beach Beadnell Bay is renowned for, is a short 2-minute stroll away and a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops is close by and leads to a long sandy beach that stretches to Seahouses, 2 miles north.
Beadnell is a popular all year round holiday destination and offers local facilities including a well-stocked village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food, all within a gentle stroll. Just 2 miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where boat trips around the nearby Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, departing regularly from its harbour. Here there are also several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops, with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by.
A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress, with beautiful beach walks and a picture postcard village centre with quaint tea rooms and galleries. Holy Island, ‘the birthplace of Christianity’, and 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). 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. Longstone Park is a great place from which to explore, with the whole of Northumberland within easy reach.

A clean apartment in a great location if you want to spend a long weekend exploring the wonderful beaches of the North East. All clean and everything worked. No frills but exactly as advertised. The weather was exceptional so we were out most of the time. I've tried to think of some negatives for 'balance' but I can't really. It was just the right mix of clean comfort at a reasonable price. I would recommend it to friends heading that way.
