Occupying a fantastic coastal location with uninterrupted views out to sea, this spacious holiday cottage provides bright and cosy accommodation for up to four guests exploring a stunning part of Northumberland. Set on the outskirts of the popular seaside village of Beadnell, the property makes a great base for couples and smaller families, and features a lovely open fire, welcoming furnishings and light, airy decor. Perfect for walkers, birdwatchers, golfers and cyclists, this cheerful getaway is just a short stroll from a beautiful sandy beach and is ideally situated for experiencing the area’s glorious countryside and impressive historic sites.

Entering this characterful cottage, a central open-tread pine staircase divides the fresh and welcoming open-plan lounge/diner. The lounge has a stylish wooden floor, comfortable seating and an open fire, while the cheery dining area is perfect for sharing your favourite dishes which you can prepare in the beautifully arranged, light-filled kitchen. Upstairs, you will find a refreshing bathroom alongside two charming bedrooms: a king-size and a twin, each with wash basins, wooden floors and sea views. Outside, there’s an unenclosed garden with shrubbery and a small lawn to the front of the cottage, while to the rear, the enclosed pebble and sleeper-landscaped garden has a pretty patio providing a charming spot for a coffee or glass of wine.

Beadnell has a glorious sandy beach and is known for its historic lime kilns along the bay. Heading north along the coast you will pass the Annstead Dunes Nature Reserve before reaching the popular seaside village of Seahouses (2 miles).

I wonder if the owners have fallen out of love for this cottage as it needs a lot of TLC. it's not just the curtain in the dining area off the rail, the utility area floor needs retiling and there isn't the pretty garden any longer as shown in the photos it's just gravel with a table and chairs plonked in the middle, ideal if you have a dog as it wRead moreould be easy to clean up. On the positive side the location is great and the cottage is clean and tidy. The little welcome packs are well thought out. Hide

We stayed for the week and couldn't fault the location, great parking and amazing views across the sea. Sadly the interior of property let it down. Such a shame because a few cosmetic tweaks along with some tlc would make this the perfect holiday home. There were established spiders webs complete with spiders Dirty cutlery and crockery, curtains cRead moreheaply hung and hanging off the runners, and upgrades needed on the rotting front door. Such a shame. However the overall space, comfort of the bed and sofas, combined with the location made for an enjoyable stay.. Hide

After reading other reviews-yes it could maybe do with updating a little but we loved it. Could happily live there. Lovely position and sea views. The bed was comfortable for me even with arthritis in my spine. The only issues we had were that the hot water was far too hot-dont know if it can be adjusted but you couldnt wash your hands under the hoRead moret tap it was so hot and the other thing was there were only two teaspoons in the cutlery drawer (lots of everything else) which meant we had to go and buy some more which we will now keep in car for future use. We would definitely come back and stay here. Hide

Great location overlooking the sea but property fixtures require TLC, double bed springs dig into you, inadequate amount of crockery for 4 plus garden is not totally secure for pets. We found work arounds so did not stop us enjoying our break. If these minor things are done happy to recommend as its a great locatiin.

Only good thing about this cottage is the location. We would not use The Haven again as it is very very poor. Scruffy initial appearance with the front garden and the front door was full of filler. The only thing that was acceptable was the washing machine and the heating. Very uncomfortable furnishings with poor equipment in the kitchen. VeryRead more unsafe stairs and wooden flooring as they were well worn and not maintained properly. Give this property a wide berth. Hide
