Area
Established in Saxon times, Beadnell is a charming harbour village set on a wonderful stretch of the Northumberland Coast, an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, popular with birdwatchers. Beadnell Bay itself has a Blue Flag award and is one of the prettiest beaches in the area. The town of Seahouses is close to the beach and with two welcoming pubs and shops and restaurants close by it is, unsurprisingly popular with locals and holidaymakers alike. The Farne Islands are a short boat trip away, as are both Bamburgh and Alnwick Castles. The former is a huge bird sanctuary, created by St Cuthbert, who along with St Aidan, was one of the first monks to bring Christianity to Britain. That heritage is also upheld at the holy island of Lindisfarne, which can be reached via the causeway at Beal (depending on the tides).

Region
Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.

This is the first time I have had to do a negative review on a Sykes property and I don't do it lightly.. This property needs a deep clean some surfaces ok but still felt the need to clean again in view of current situation. Lightshades covered in thick dust, extractor fan in bathroom and top of shower, fridge needed a good wipe, carpet in lounge and hall area has large bumpy areas, does not fit tight. Some walls need redecorating. All in all needs a thorough clean and some updating.Yes this could have been mentioned to the owner but we did not want the upheaval of a deep clean whilst on holiday.

Mrs Kennedy

Had a wonderful time at Bay View cottage Beadnell ,we were met on arrival by the owner Christopher who gave us a tour of the apt and explained how everything worked, the cottage itself was lovely and cosy with amazing views of the sea ,Beadnell Bay and the sand dunes.. Wanted to book again for next year but Bay View was fully booked , Christopher is really friendly and makes you feel at home nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely recommend had a totally positive experience Mrs Kennedy South Yorkshire

Mrs Kennedy, September 2020

3rd holiday visit to Beadnell and 1st time at Bay View flat.. Flat was home from home, well equipped with good quality fittings and furnishings. Settee, armchairs and very large bed really comfortable. It's a stone's throw from the lovely sandy bay. Would happily stay in this flat in the future. Very approachable owner too.

Mrs Rowley-smith, September 2020

August 2020

The owner met us and was on hand but not intrusive.. There were added little extras such as some milk and biscuits and crisps which were very welcome. The property had a very well equipped kitchen which was great as we ate in most of the time. The beds were comfortable with good quality bedding. The property has parking and is very near the beach and harbour. The kitchen had things like kitchen roll, washing up liquid, tea towels and lots of other things that came in handy.

Mrs Tucker, August 2020

In a good place to visit other areas, house well equipped with everything you would need, excellent

Mr Dawson, March 2020

February 2020

We had a great stay, everything you could think of was provided, even the additional request of a high chair and cot.. The owner was easy to contact, very friendly and took the time to show us around to explain everything. The location was also great, in a nice village with a beautiful beach a couple of minutes away.

Mr Alexander, February 2020

December 2019

A spacious, well equipped apartment in an excellent location for beach walks.. A modern spacious kitchen with more than enough utensils including a dishwasher, which was handy. Large open plan living/dining room. Th Smart TV works through the internet, so you’ve got Netflix, don’t forget your login details.Good strength WiFi. Bathroom has a shower over the bath. The shower pressure was quite low. The master bedroom has a comfortable massive king size bed and loads of wardrobe and drawer space. The twin room just has a set of drawers for storage. The two village pubs are about a 20 minute level walk away. We had a good meal at Beadnell Towers. We contacted and met the owner (Christopher) on two or three occasions during our stay. He’s a very approachable and helpful gentleman who showed us around the apartment on arrival and also offered advice and information in response to a few questions we had. Would definitely recommend this apartment and hope to stay there again in the future.

Mr Horton, December 2019

Mr Sainsbury

What a great place to stay.. Chris was so welcoming. You walk in the door and just know you are going to love it, so clean and tidy and has everything you could possibly need. You can even see the sea from 2 rooms. So close to a wonderful beach with plenty of walks. I would recommend this place and hope to return next year.

Mr Edge

Bay View was just like a Home from Home, everything you needed was there.. Comfortable Lounge, Kitchen with it's Fridge Freezer, Microwave, Washing Machine, Dish Washer and lovely view out to the Bay. Comfortable Bedroom with it's Kingsize Bed, Nice! The second Bedroom with Two Single Beds. Excellent location, so close to a Lovely Sandy Beach and perfectly placed for visiting places of Interest in the Surrounding Area. A Return Visit is certainly on the cards.

Mr Brookes

September 2018

The photos of the property didn't do it justice! There was everything we needed and it was in a great location for many of the attractions on the Northumbrian coast. It was really comfortable and we very much appreciated the new super king size mattress. On top of everything, Chris was a great landlord! Mick and Trish

Mr Patrick

August 2018

Brilliant location.. Rocky shore with pools 100 yards on one side and very long sandy beach 100 yards on other. Very clean and well equipped flat. Private and off road parking. Grandkids loved it there.

Mrs Stocks

July 2018

Location was great, flat was clean and extremely well equipped - probably the best we’ve ever had and we’ve stayed in tens of holiday rentals over the years.. Would like to have been able to open windows more than just a couple of inches but as the weather was not too hot it wasn’t really a problem. Mattresses and sofa were a little on the saggy side for my tastes but that’s just me.

Mrs Potts

June 2018

Very nice landlord who made us feel very welcome.. We had a lovely relaxing holiday in comfortable accommodation within easy walking distance of the sea. A lovely village that we have visited often.

The owner was extremely helpful on our arrival helping with luggage etc We appreciated the wine milk left in the fridge. Very comfortable chairs in the sitting room well appointed. Ideally situated apartment, very quiet area. Helped make our holiday very enjoyable.

The apartment was very well furnished, especially the sitting room, and we felt at home during our stay. It is a lovely area, very quiet. We enjoyed being able to walk to the nearby beach. It was only a short drive to amenities at Seahouses and Bamburgh! We would certainly recommend and return to this property.

Mrs Lee

August 2013

We have been to this property before, and rebooked because we love the location and the apartment.

Mr Phipps

It was in good condition; new bathroom, new carpets in bedroom, and nicely furnished. It is in a nice position with partial sea views. Good for visiting places. A nice quiet restful holiday.

Guest

First floor apartment with sea views from the balcony. Very close to the beach and a short walk to the small harbour of Beadnell with its famous lime kilns. There is a small grocery store and fish and chip shop a 15 min walk away (limited opening hours), but quite adequate. Seahouses is a short drive with Bambrough a little further. The apartment was well equipped,spacious and comfortable. There is a pub and hotel which serves food in the village centre. Directions for collecting the key could have been clearer, but that's my only complaint. I'd certainly stay there again.

Mrs Patton

July 2013

The location was excellent, with 2 sea views from the balcony! The small harbour and lovely sandy beach were only a short stroll away.

A Holiday Lettings verified reviewer

We have taken breaks in Northumberland for many years and in the Beadnell area or village for the last 7. This was THE ideally located place that we have stayed at. Honestly 2 to 3 minutes from one of the best beaches in the UK. This property is very, very comfortable and well presented. One very short flight, with a view of the beach from the living room and balcony. All very peaceful. We rarely go anywhere twice but will certainly go back there if available next year.The walk along the beach, via Low Newton to Craster is about a 2 and half journey if fit and well worth it....there are buses back from Craster if needed! Honestly cannot fault it, as for weather....well, it is the UK...so what if it rains, it is stunning countryside!

This is the third time we have stayed at Bayview and would thoroughly recommend it. It is quiet and is ideally placed for walks on the beach and for trips out. The property was well equipped with everything we needed making it a real 'home from home'. I have already recommended it to friends who are interested in booking.

October 2011

Lovely flat in a great location. The flat was comfotable and had everything we needed. The beach was very close by. Beadnell is small but had a shop, a pub, restaurant and a fish and chip shop. There are plenty of places to visit nearby especially if you like castles. The only thing that could have made it better was the weather.

Mrs Varnes

One of the best equipped properties we've stayed in. Very convenient location for exploring Northumberland. Lovely quiet village and the apartment is extremely comfortable and close to the beach.

Judy Wilkes

The apartment was all you could wish for. Very clean, comfortable and modern. It was only about 50 yards from a lovely beach. Good food in the local pub in the village which was a short walk across the field and a bit longer walk on the way back via the road. Very central for all sites along the coast, Seahouses, Bamburgh Castle, Farne Islands, Alnwick Castle and Gardens and Berwick-on-Tweed. Did all these attractions but not much driving. Would recommend this to anyone.

Mrs Brown

July 2010

This is an excellent property, fantastic location and amazing views.

Mrs Wilkes

The flat was excellent, very clean and tidy and everything that you could wish for. The beach was very close and that was wonderful, very easy to get to with no main roads to cross. The village with pubs serving food were about 10 mins walk away, closer if you walked over the field. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Mrs Drummond

We really enjoyed staying in this well kept, spacious, welcoming apartment in such a wonderful location. Weather was great this week and it was one of our best holidays yet. We hope to return.

Mr Wright

June 2010

Bay View was in a beautiful setting right by the beach, very comfortable, spacious, and spotlessly clean.

April 2010

We had a brilliant time during our holiday. The apartment was very close to the beach. We did not go anywhere. We were at the beach everyday. The apartment was very cosy, clean and had everything we needed. The washer/dryer was a great bonus as the kids got wet everyday playing at the beach. We will definitely come back.

Mrs Hewitt

August 2009

Bamburgh Castle is a must. Good food at The Craster Arms Inn, Beadnell. Nice quiet location.

The location to the beach and harbour was exceptional. The property was comfortable and homely.

We enjoyed the sightseeing eg Bambugh Castle Alwnick Castle and Gardens and lots of other great days out. The evening meal we had at the Craster Arms Inn was lovely. Seahouses is a very nice town to visit and from there we took a boat ride to the Farne Islands which is a must.

Most enjoyable holiday in a lovely place.

Mr Reyland

The accommodation was really good and more than met with expectations. It was terrific value for money. The Northumberland area is ideal and fortunately we had exceptionally good weather. Beadnell is a great base for enjoying the coastal areas.

Mrs Eeles

June 2009

The location, the village, the friendliness of the people, the beaches, the puffins, the otter at one of the nearby nature reserves, Alnwick garden, the Craster Arms, the glorious weather. The apartment was brilliant and spotlessly clean. There was so much to do in the locality that we didn't get through half of our list. We both felt that this was the best holiday we have ever had.

Mr Cairney

December 2004

It felt like being in a home rather than a holiday apartment. The closeness to the beach was great. The surrounding area was very beautiful (Lindisfarne, Farne islands, Bamburgh, Beadnell Bay). Northumberland will definitely get a revisit from us at some point in the future!

The fabulous walks along the beaches, the good food from the New Beadnell Towers (?) Hotel. My husband is intolerant to gluten and the hotel chef was very helpful and understood the difficulty completely, which we appreciated very much as not all chefs are aware of the hidden dangers.

Mr Phair

Great location for beach walking. Recommend visiting the Chillingham Wild Cattle - very informative. Good food at the New Beadnell Towers Hotel.

Mr Buxton

Excellent location - close to the beach. Good food at the Beadnell Arms Hotel. The weather was good (surprisingly!)
