Sandy View

Sandy View is a first-floor apartment in Beadnell, on the Northumberland coast near an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The whole place is yours alone, sleeping four across two bedrooms—a double and two singles—with one bathroom. Everything is on one level, accessed via two steps to the entrance. Your dog stays free and parking for one car is on site.

The open-plan living and dining room has a television and DVD player. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with electric cooking, a dishwasher and washing machine. Bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating are all included; you pay for electricity used. A private balcony with outdoor furniture overlooks the bay. No smoking indoors.

Beadnell village is under a mile away, with a shop, cafés and a pub. The beach itself is a minute's walk—good for swimming, walking or spotting birds.
