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.

Close to the beach and 20 minutes from the Craster Arms . We would come back to here.

The situation and nearness to the beach again was ideal. The property and week would have scored full marks but fell down on 2 very little things - the dish washer tablets left did not last very long and in the end we supplied our own in the main and the hand wash in my room was almost empty to start the week and certainly would not have lasted the week had I not my own. Otherwise you would have got full marks.
