This is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, with activities including sailing, kite surfing, sea kayaking and scuba diving. The welcoming village of Beadnell offers local facilities with two family friendly pubs serving food, and a local village shop, which are all less than a mile from Puffin Place. Two miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where there are boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands, which depart regularly from its harbour. Here there are several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops.
A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes. Holy Island – the birthplace of Christianity and site of Lindisfarne Castle – can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. Just a few miles inland is the bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle (and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Academy!). Visitors will enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden – a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe!

Loved Puffin Place. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Fully enclosed garden for our dog with decking and grass area.Around 5 mins walk to Beadnell bay beach.We've stayed in Beadnell a few times at properties closer to the beach, but this wasn't too far away and great value.
