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).

What a wonderful cottage in a quiet area of Beadnell, yet a short walk to the beach and harbour and ideally placed for this amazing area. We enjoyed 2 trips to the Farne Islands landing on Inner Farne with its astonishing wildlife and a walk to Long Nanny to see the terns. Visits to Bamburgh, Chillingham and Alnwick Castles and local villages sucRead moreh as Craster and Low Newton and generally relaxing meant our 2 weeks in the Shambles flew by. Many thanks for our stay and the welcome pack. Highly recommended Hide

A beautiful, comfortable and well equipped cottage in the heart of this lovely seaside village. We loved the giant sofas, comfy beds and the separate tv room. The weather was still warm enough in September to catch a few rays in the courtyard garden. Plenty of amenities with the shop, cafe and pub and lots of places to visit within a short drive.
