Puffin Place

Puffin Place comes with everything you need for a self-catering break: the kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, so you can cook properly or travel light. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. The living room has a Freeview TV and French doors opening onto a decked area with garden furniture, overlooking the enclosed lawn.

The house has three bedrooms across the first floor—a double with its own en-suite shower and Juliet balcony, and two singles—plus a bathroom with a bath and shower. Downstairs is the kitchen-dining room and a separate toilet. There's parking for two cars on site, and the whole place is yours alone. No smoking indoors.

Beadnell's golden sand sits just 200 yards away, popular with sailors, kite surfers and sea kayakers. The village has two pubs and a shop within walking distance. Seahouses, two miles along the coast, runs boat trips to the Farne Islands and has cafés and shops. Bamburgh and its castle are three miles further on. One dog is welcome.
