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!

We loved staying here we found the kitchen filled with everything we needed. Very handy having a toilet downstairs and the lounge was always nice and bright during the day.Our granddaughter loved the garden and having her own bedroom but most of all she loved being so close to the beach. I’d recommend this cottage the area is so quiet and calm and there is a fish and chip van that opens up four nights a week at the top of Beadnell village.

The house needs a deep clean. The many small broken area’s need attending to. Broken wardrobe. Shower screen warped making it impossible to shower without soaking the floor. Outside chairs rusty and dirty. The list is endless. If the above were carried out the house would get a much better review.it just needs some money spending on it to bring it up to what it should be.
