Beachview

Beadnell Bay stretches along the Northumberland coast as a wide sandy beach popular with watersports enthusiasts and walkers alike. Beachview sits in a quiet cul-de-sac just behind the dunes, less than 100 yards from the shore. The apartment occupies the first floor of a small residential building, with a balcony overlooking the bay and out to sea. Access is via 13 steps to the entrance.

Inside are two bedrooms—one with a double bed, the other with a double bunk (single above)—a shower room, and a combined living and dining space with doors opening onto the balcony. The kitchen has an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge and freezer; you can cook proper meals or keep things simple. Wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. There is parking for one car on site, with additional shared spaces available, and a shared garden. The property is non-smoking.

Beadnell village has a shop and family-friendly pubs. The beach itself draws sailors, kite-surfers and paddle-boarders. Two miles north along the coast, Seahouses is a working fishing port where boats depart for the Farne Islands and its seal colonies; the town has tea rooms, pubs and shops. Bamburgh, another three miles on, sits beneath Bamburgh Castle. The area suits couples, small families and groups wanting direct beach access without the fanfare of a larger resort.
