Bayview

Beadnell Bay's sandy beach is a two-minute walk from Bayview, with the harbour equally close on foot. A short drive reaches Dunstanburgh Castle, Bamburgh and Warkworth, each with their own stronghold looming over the coast. The market towns of Alnwick, Morpeth and Amble are within an hour's reach; beyond them lie the Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Scottish border country. This corner of Northumberland rewards both idle exploration and purposeful days out.

The apartment occupies the first floor of a house in Beadnell village itself. Two bedrooms—one with a kingsize bed, one with singles—share a bathroom with bath and shower. The living and dining room opens onto a balcony overlooking the bay; a shared lawn runs below. The kitchen has everything needed to cook properly: electric oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. Parking is on the road, about 10 yards away. The property is non-smoking and welcomes one pet.
