This was our 3rd stay at this lovely cottage. The views of the bay from the first and second floor are a delight. Just take 20 to 30 steps from the front door and you reach the sand. Perfect!

Lovely cottage, well equipped and perfect location with fab beach.

Cottage needed a little bit of work, some paintwork refreshed, but as we were there at the end of the season this may be why. Exteral drain from the shower overflowed outside. Again this maybe due to the end of the season. Overall 5 stars and we intend to visit again.

A quaint property with an interesting history and a wonderful view of the bay. Very quiet, with good soundproofing. Generally well fitted and a great location. We had a lovely time. Beadnell is a great a place with good restaurants and we saw dolphins in the bay. Would recommend Puffin Iskand trip from Seahouses!

Lovely Cottage, in an ideal location, excellent for walking the Dog and spending time with the familly on the beach. I would recommend a trip to Berwick on your first morning to do soame shopping. There is an M.S.Food Hall along with a very large Home Bargains were you can buy logs at a reasonable price.

Cleaners not been . Finally cleaned at 9.30pm ! Tbh the bedding didn't look or smell fresh . Looked like the old bedding on the quilts and also the pillow cases etc , had been straightened out ! No headboards on the twin beds ,just gaps at the back ! The dining chairs where fold down metal garden chairs , totally unsuitable to enjoy any meals on !
