This 3-bedroom coastal cottage is in Beadnell village, Northumberland. Refurbished in February 2026, it sleeps five and sits just 0.8 miles from Beadnell Bay's long golden sands. The ground floor is flooded with natural light through large windows and features whitewashed walls, big sofas and a fantastic wood burner that makes this lounge a proper gathering space.

Beadnell itself has an 18th-century harbour once used by gin smugglers, plus pubs, cafes and coastal paths. Seahouses village is a two-mile walk away with shops and a working harbour. You can kayak, windsurf or wakeboard at the beach. Newton-by-the-Sea is a five-mile hike along the coast.

The cottage has three bedrooms: one small ground-floor single with en-suite WC and two king-size rooms upstairs with shuttered windows and ambient lighting. There is one generously sized family bathroom with shower over the bath. The dining room seats six with bench seating and overlooks the garden.

Alnwick Castle (14 miles) and Bamburgh Castle (6 miles) are both within easy reach. The fenced garden with patio and al fresco dining table is ideal for families.

This rental suits families wanting a proper seaside base with great walking, watersports and Northumberland's best coastline on the doorstep. Book it.
