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.

There is no shower curtain, no means of hooking the shower head to the wall. As a consequence it is virtually impossible to shower without water spraying around the bathroom. Others have made the same comment in the visitors book. The kitchen could be better equipped with cooking utensils and a corkscrew would have been handy.

It was very warm inside at night even if the day had been cool. It could use some hooks in bathrooms and possibly a coat rack in the hall or lobby. It was very easy to catch yourself on the internal door latch plates as these had not been properly recessed into frames, indeed I ripped my jeans on one of them. Very short walk to the Pack horse pub which did very nice food.

Ideally situated for exploring the Northumbrian coast. I would certainly consider returning and would recommend it to friends and family.
