Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"We loved this cottage with everything anyone could want for a holiday."
Beautifully decorated with a TV in the bedroom, a must for us. The conservatory overlooked the lovely garden. The area was absolutely brilliant, with the coast being a stone's throw away. We would ,without doubt love to return to the bungalow when possible.

"This is the first time we have stayed in this cottage, it will also be the last."
The cottage itself is very clean and well maintained, however, the facilities are not what we would look for. The WiFi is not the best, at times non existent although that could well be a local reception problem, however, the shower is definitely not up to standard. It is an electric shower and I know these can be problematic but I would expect to be made aware of this on booking the cottage, and on reading past comments I see this is an historic problem. If I am paying £400+ for a week's stay I expect better than this, my wife perfected a step in step out routine to avoid the red hot ice cold stream, I'm afraid I won't be doing that. We have stayed in a sister cottage to this one, Swale cottage not a stone's throw away from this one and that is where we will go in future.
In response to the above,which was never reported until this comment. We pride ourselves on customer relations with our clients.
We have contact numbers in house book,which we are readly available on,to sort any problems
Out .
WiFi is supplied by b t which was put in cottage
Last year,and seems to be functioning well.
We would have gladly have come and showed you how to use use the electric shower ,which has seem to have coursed you a problem, which
We apologise for.

The welcome hamper and the Christmas tree and decorations were a very nice surprise. I have a mobility problem and found the cottage truly accessible. The outside step was a bit of a trial but I mastered it eventually. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return in the summer months.

"Just spent a week in the Snug and was a really
nice base in Beadnell."
It was nice and clean but feel could be made better, looking at the other bungalows especially the conservatory, instead of the pretty bits.
The bed was comfy but I did have a reaction
to either the bedding or the detergent so I
itched all week.
There is no gas in Beadnell so everything is electric so the shower has no power.
Parking is a little tight next to the wall as we have
a large car but you can park on the road.
If customers inform us of any allergic reactions to washing detergent that may cause discomfort ,we would have certainly looked into avoiding any problems.
The conservatory is a guests personal preference.

Directions to property are incorrect. This is not a detached property. The bed needs a topper on it. The sofa in the lounge is not as shown in photographs and is now a Chesterfield settee which we found uncomfortable. It has been refurbished to a high standard and is fully equipped with everything you could need. The WiFi is weak and was in and out. There is only a back door which has 2 steps which may not suit people with mobility issues. The welcome hamper, flowers and dog treats were much appreciated. A mixed review but more good points overall.

The mattress was new in December 22,but I do understand it may not be to your personal needs.The sofa has been renewed to general

Very peaceful area which was ideal for us as we stayed over the bonfire night weekend with our dog.
A nice touch was the welcome hamper with wine, chocolates, biscuits, crisps, tea, coffee & milk, together with some doggie treats for our girl.
Heating was by the way of electric radiators, with also a log effect fire & all were really easy to use, they warmed up the space really quickly.
Only small issue we had was the internet connection dropped in & out frequently so we couldn’t do any proper searching for places to visit while there.
There’s a couple of pubs a short walk from the cottage, The Craster Arms, which was quite full on Friday evening with the locals, not ideal if you’re wanting a quiet drink, it would probably be ok during the week though. There’s also the Beadnell towers Hotel, both serve food daily.

We had a welcome hamper on arrival and so did our cocker spaniel jack. Really appreciated.

The furnishings within the bungalow were great and it was very well equipped. Obviously the owner has taken pride in ensuring great presentation and attention to detail. Due to the covid19 lockdown we were apprehensive about the holiday despite lockdown being eased allowing us to go but we were happy with all the extras measures made by the owners and sykes cottages that had been enforced as regards - cleaning, contact and there was plenty of antibacterial soaps etc. I had also taken my own. Masks had also been left for us. We felt safe and the local pub and restaurant were well organised. It was just the break we needed as my husband is a keyworker and has worked right through the pandemic and was ready for some time out. Bamburgh, Warkworth and Amble are all lovely places and nice beach walks. If you wanted to visit castles etc it was all pre booked online and times given to ensure social distancing but having a dog we had decided we didn't need to visit cadtles or shops etc. It was all about Jack this time. Seahouses and Lower Newton were recommended as being lovely places to visit but they seemed too busy for us as we arrived so maybe another time as we will be back. Great holiday.

I can’t fault the description of the cottage as it was spot on and is ideal for a couple. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. It’s in an ideal location for lovely beaches, coastal walks and handy enough to travel a bit further afield by car if you wish. If you don’t want to walk or take car there is an option of using the local bus service. We were there for 7 nights and used a mix of walking and bus to get to and from Seahouses, not too far to drive either to get across to Holy Island. The local pubs had great food and a shop minutes away for essentials.

Where you’ll be staying
BEADNELL
Seahouses 1.5 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.
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.
