We have stayed here a few times now and would definitely return. Everything we need for a family of 4 plus a dog. We love Beadnell, there is so much around or a small village and the cottage provides a perfect base.

Great location, comfortable and clean. Enjoyed using the garden. Having an EV charger was brilliant, although took a few failed attempts to use at first, but once mastered, easy!

the cottage was clean and spacious very well appointed with everything you need however a map of the street and locations of pub and parks ie grassy areas for dogs without getting in the car would be good this could be just hand drawn with you are here directions to sea front access shown also a radio in kitchen may be of use but still all in all a welcome break we will probably be back next year
