Guests say
Coastal Plaice in Beadnell is a well-regarded holiday cottage, praised for its proximity to local amenities, beaches, and eateries. Guests appreciate the clean, comfortable accommodation and the enclosed garden, especially those with dogs. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of certain household items were noted, the overall experience is positive, with special mentions of a welcoming touch with gifts upon arrival.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'spotless' and 'well prepared'. However, a few isolated comments about smeared glass surfaces and a piece of old bread in the bread bin suggest room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to beaches, local pubs, and eateries, with many guests enjoying the short walks to various attractions. The peaceful and well-kept surroundings contribute to the high score.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of a 'comfy bed' and a 'perfectly comfortable' stay. Some concerns about the staircase for young children and the height of garden walls for dogs slightly affect the score.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and new appliances. However, points are deducted for reported maintenance issues such as a loose shower rail, a broken gate catch, and a lack of instructions for appliances.
Guests have noted thoughtful touches like welcome gifts of cupcakes and prosecco, although it should be politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed. Some reviews suggest that additional information and provisions for dogs would enhance the thoughtfulness of the property's offerings.

This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.

Broken catch on gate, which was problematic. Well equipped in kitchen, New appliances, but nowhere to hang washing, old broken tiny clothes airer. Generally not very clean, old piece of bread in bread bin, every glass surface smeared and dirty including patio doors, table and bedside lamps. Not very welcoming, mournful mess of a handful of teabags, coffee in a cardboard box with garlic peelings in it. Nothing provided for dogs, which would have been a nice touch.

Clean open planned living. Staircase isnât the greatest for young children, could be worth investing in a baby gate at the top and bottom of stairs. Parking a little tight. But overall a super property in Beadnell.
