Nestled in the grounds of Grade II-listed Beadnell Hall, this stunning stone cottage blends period charm with contemporary style for a magical coastal retreat. Set in the historic village of Beadnell, it’s perfectly placed for exploring the region’s beaches, castles, wildlife and coastal walks. Sleeping four guests in two tranquil bedrooms, it makes a great base for a family holiday or a laid-back trip with friends.

Arranged over two floors, this characterful cottage has fresh, modern interiors yet seamlessly retains its classical elegance. Large sash windows, plush furniture and statement light fixtures are fused with pops of yellow, lending a sunny disposition to the stylish living spaces. You’ll relish evenings in the light-filled lounge and diner, huddled around a crackling wood burner or feasting at the dining table fit for a banquet. Cooks will delight in preparing home-cooked treats in the contemporary kitchen, while the snug offers a great space to escape with a book or curl up to watch a little TV when you need a little space from the main group. Outside a courtyard garden offers al fresco dining and BBQs in the salty sea air. When it’s time to rest your head, two sleep havens await beneath the eaves – a double and a twin room with zip-and-link beds which can be made up as a king-size on request. A WC on the first floor and a shower room on the ground floor offer comfort and convenience.

Explore stunning coastal trails at Beadnell Haven (0.5 miles) or wander to the sweeping sandy beach at Beadnell Bay to relax on the golden sands or get active with water sports in this protected bay. Wildlife lovers can’t miss a trip to Seahouses Harbour (2 miles), where you can pick up a boat trip to the Farne Islands to see nesting seabirds and seal colonies. Historical sites abound from Bamburgh Castle (5 miles) to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (20 miles).

A lovely cottage, equipped extremely well with high quality accessories throughout the cottage. The welcome pack was excellent. Centrally positioned in Beadnell, close to places to eat and with easy access to the beautiful Beadnell Bay. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have stayed here so obviously we enjoyed our first visit. The accommodation is comfortable and well laid out and we particularly enjoyed having the TV room, the weather was mixed so we were able to heat the small space and feel cosy. We appreciated the welcome pack and the flowers were a nice touch. As we were only a coupRead morele we had the single beds made into a double - well worth it as they are very comfy and I prefer that bedroom. Hide

Lovely cottage in a lovely village. The owners were great when we couldnt find it ( our fault the fourth turn off looks like a private drive so discounted it) and had a small issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this was a fantastic location to explore our first time in Northumberland. Fell in love with the area it is magical. Everything you wRead moreould need was provided and appreciated the welcome hamper and salt / pepper/ kitchen towel etc that was there made this so easy to settle in quickly. The only very small niggle was the heating. It was on a fixed programme and we couldnt work out how to override especially upstairs. This was fine when we were out most of the day but when it was raining and cold we relied on the wood burner - again amazing that kindling/wood was there for us. A fantastic holiday in one of the best holiday cottages weve stayed in. Highly recommend. Hide

The Shambles was a great base for our stay in Northumberland. Beadnell is a lovely village with good facilities and things to do and see close by (beach and harbour are great). Beautiful coastal walks to Seahouses and Bamburgh in one direction - we didn't get to walk in the other direction during this stay but will be back! Beadnell also a good Read morebase for days out further afield as it's pretty central to many key places we wanted to visit. The cottage itself was great, a nice cosy and comfortable place to come back to each day. Hide
