We loved Dune View and we felt very much at home in this comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.. Being so close to the harbour and beach we enjoyed our walks on the sands. How lucky we were with the weather !

Mrs Wharton

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped.. It was a little cold towards the end of our holiday but the heating in the cottage kept it nice and cosy. Though the cottage is a bit overlooked by other properties it is well located in the village, being about 2 minutes walk from the beach and the harbour. The beaches here are fabulous and you can walk along them from village to village. In fact, we barely went inland all week as the beach walking was so good! We also visited Lindisfarne (30 minute drive), Bamburgh Castle (walked along beach from Seashouses), Dunsborough castle (walked along beach from Beadnell) and Alnwick (15 min drive). There are two great eating places in Beadnell (Crastor arms and Beadnell Towers). Overall a great holiday

A lovely and well equipped property in a wonderful location.. Thank you so much to Heather for letting us stay and for making us feel welcome. The open fire was really welcome with the cold weather that we had during our stay but we particularly liked the access to the wonderful Northumbrian coastline,and most days were sunny if cold. Just one small thing - an oven glove would be useful for the benefit of future guests.

Mrs Fawcett

A very comfy and clean, well looked after accommodation.. Peaceful and very close to the beach and some amazing coastal walks. Loved the chocolates that had been left for our arrival which was very thoughtful.

The cottage was really nice and in a terrific location .. Whilst the information given beforehand meant we were aware, the one drawback it has is you have to put £1 coins in a meter to generate electricity. In my opinion this is a somewhat out of date way of doing things. We have holidayed in about 20 cottages and caravans in the UK, and never before have we had to feed coins into meters. I should stress though this didn’t spoil the holiday or our time spent in the cottage.

Mr Gleadow

Have visited the Northumberland coast many times over the years and for .... Have visited the Northumberland coast many times over the years and for location, cleanliness and peace and quiet this was one of the most enjoyable times

Mr Morgan

Cottage was lovely, in a great location and very comfortable, would definitely stay again..

Great location, well equipped..

Mr Skedzielewski

The house is in a great position to the beach and all the other easy to reach places in Northumberland.. The house was big and bright inside with everything needed for a great holiday.

Mr Oliver

We love Beadnell and booking with Sykes, but Dune View has really exceeded even our expectations.. Located so near to a great beach, the layout of the cottage is really comfortable. The property is very well-equipped and beds really comfy, dining area practical and sofas easy to sit and relax in. We have always had good experiences with Sykes but this property was truly a great find. With two young kids it was important they felt at home, and the enclosed garden and outdoor area was perfect. I am impressed at the simplicity of the process and how easy holidaying with Sykes really is!

Mrs Clayton

May 2018

This cottage was excellent - very well equipped, clean and comfortable.. A very good base from which to explore the surrounding area. The pictures of the cottage on your website do give the impression that the cottage overlooks the sea - this is not the case although the sea is literally strides away. This is not a complaint and does not detract in any way the experience we had staying here. The cottage was spot on - and we hope to visit again. We had occasion to ring the owner - who again was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family.

Mrs Wainwright

August 2017

Everything was as we had expected it to be.. Accommodation was very good and cleanliness on arrival was excellent. Parking area and being so close to the beach were wonderful. We had a great week and would definitely recommend this property.

Mrs White

July 2016

Dune View was in a great location, at just 2-3 minutes from the beach we could take the children on to the sands or to the rock pools really quickly. The house was also a great base, practical for the little ones but with a real comfort feel in the evenings when the grown ups could relax.

We have just returned from this cottage, such a beautiful place Beadnell is. The cottage has everything you need, lovely bright & spacious rooms with lots of storage, enough games to keep children (and adults) entertained if the weather turned bad, DVD's & well stocked kitchen (pots etc). Its in a very quiet location and literally 2 minutes from the golden sands of Beadnell bay. The only negative points I have are: 1. The drive in to the property is down a back track, the first drive there we didnt realise the depth of the tyre track and ended up with the underneath of our car being scraped by the uneven ground, so I suggest you try and drive on the grass either side of tyre tracks. 2. The twin room beds are not very comfy, my parents had the double and myself & husband had the twins. The bases are very squeaky (every time we turned over we woke ourselves up) and the mattresses seem quite old too so not very comfy. These points aside it is a very nice cottage in a gorgeous village and would recommend people to stay here.

Mrs Kelly

A lovely cottage in a lovely village! Would definitely come to this cottage again. It was perfectly placed to visit Bamburgh, Seahouses and Craster to name a few!

Everything we wanted or needed was supplied. There was just two of us but accommodation was suitable for a family of 5 or 6 at least. Just remember to switch off water heater when you leave each day and switch on when you come back. It will heat up fast saving you a few pounds. Switch is above back door.

Mrs Stephenson

August 2013

Fantastic accommodation and very friendly owner who gave clear instructions. A great base for a a family holiday.

Dune View is a lovely home to spend a peaceful week in wonderful Beadnell. Plenty of space for a family of six, we were a couple though. Everything you could possibly need is in the cottage. We were very comfortable there. Beadnell is a quiet place but The Craster arms pub and Beadnell Towers Hotel are both very good for an evening out and serve very good food.The best thing about the cottage is the close proximity to the glorious beach and small harbour.It is also well placed to visit al the attractions of the northern half of Northumberland.

We loved our holiday at Dune View, the bathroom and kitchen were fab and the garden was a great size for the kids to play in.

December 2011

The cottage was spacious and comfortable, we loved the lounge diner with the open fire - it was very cosy in the evenings! The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything you might need. The location was fantastic, a few minutes walk to Beadnell Bay. We spent a lot of time on the beach, despite the blustery autumn weather! The cottage was lovely to come back to.

Mrs Batty

The cottage was comfortable, cosy and really well equipped. It was in a perfect location just minutes from the beach.

Miss Hatton

A brilliant, quiet location, so near to such a lovely beach also. The kids loved it.

Mrs Harrison

The quietness of the area and the gorgeous beach, the house was a great base to explore the surrounding area.

November 2010

Very comfortable stay, cottage has good amenities. It is 5 minutes walk from the fabulous beach and the whole area is lovely to stay in.

A surprisingly spacious house with lovely new kitchen. Bathroom was a bit tired but all rooms were clean and tidy. The electric meter worried us intially but we found we had taken far too may coins and what we did put in lasted ages. The location was fantastic for the beach. One silly little suggestion -hooks for coats /waterproofs would be good. Overall we would certainly stay again.

At the time of rental we specifically asked if the view shown on the website was the view from the cottage. The answer was yes. On arrival we found the view consisted of wheelie bins and garages. The house is characterless and charmless; it is certainly not worthy of the 3 stars it is advertised under. On complaining I was told that my expectations were too high, which was a bit of a veiled insult. Having rented cottages of a higher standard at a cheaper rate in many countries I think my expectations are realistic. We didn't even unpack, such was our disappointment, and moved to another location. Sykes Cottages haven't had the courtesy to respond to my complaint and our request for a refund under misrepresentation.

Mrs Verheul

Good location for beach and for travelling around in the county generally. Good standard of accommodation and comfortable house.

De Normanville

Lovely location, with a short stroll to the most beautiful beach at Beadnell Bay. Property was very clean on arrival and we enjoyed a comfortable stay. The nesting housemartins were great to watch as well. There is lots to do in the local area if you can drag yourself away from the beach!

Mrs Hall

July 2010

It was lovely to be just a short walk from such a beautiful bay.

Mrs Nichol

June 2010

It was a lovely quiet place to stay, in fact Beadnall is a place we would like to live in permanently!

December 2009

My family had a very enjoyable stay in the property. It was comfortable and suited our requirements. Having an enclosed play area was good for our two year old grandson. The off road parking was good. My only criticism is that the bathroom and kitchen could do with refurbishment, otherwise all was very satisfactory

Mr Mrs Simmons

July 2009

A comfortably furnished cottage, good parking facilities and an ideal location for exploring the coast and other tourist sites.

Mrs Staunton

June 2009

The position was good. It was a very relaxing holiday and very enjoyable.

Mrs Swift

Easy access to the beach and good location for sites and coastal attractions. Beadnell is a quiet village ideal for relaxation!

Mrs Brown

May 2009

We liked the fact that the property was very welcoming and we had everything we needed for our time spent there. It was extremely convenient for the beach and the outside space was great for the children playing. It's a great place as a base for exploring the area but is also a nice house to spend time in relaxing.
