Top Croft is found in the heart of the picture-perfect coastal village of Beadnell and lies adjacent to an inlet of water, attracting swans and an abundance of birdlife. The wide expanse of golden sandy beach Beadnell Bay is renowned for, is a short 2-minute stroll away and a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops is close by and leads to a long sandy beach that stretches to Seahouses, 2 miles north.
Beadnell is a popular all year round holiday destination and offers local facilities including a well-stocked village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food, all within a gentle stroll. Just 2 miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where boat trips around the nearby Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, departing regularly from its harbour. Here there are also several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops, with horse riding, fishing and golf on the links close by.
A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress, with beautiful beach walks and a picture postcard village centre with quaint tea rooms and galleries. 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). 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. Longstone Park is a great place from which to explore, with the whole of Northumberland within easy reach.

We had a wonderful stay, the property had everything we needed and more, and felt like home. Perfect location to explore Beadnell and the beautiful coast. We would definitely stay again.

I'll definitely go back to Top Croft, it's in a great place. It is a little tired, the shower needs attention and 1 of the bedroom doors needs a new latch but for the price it was fantastic. I felt comfortable with having the dog with me, the place is lived in which made me relax. I would recommend this place.

Brilliant flat in a very quiet part of what can be a busy place. Minutes from the sea, no problem with parking. We loved it.
