The Sandpiper

The Sandpiper is a modern bungalow sleeping four, positioned within walking distance of Beadnell Bay's sand dunes and beach. It comes complete with everything needed for self-catering: a kitchen fitted with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer; heating and hot water throughout; fresh bed linen and towels; wi-fi; and fuel for the open fire. A private garden with seating and a barbecue sits outside, with parking on site.

One bedroom has a kingsize bed and ensuite shower, the other two singles; there's a second bathroom with bath and shower. A wood-burning stove warms the open-plan living and dining space. The property is yours alone, and one well-behaved pet is welcome. It does not permit smoking.

Beadnell itself sits on the Heritage Coast between Seahouses, where boats reach the Farne Islands, and Dunstanburgh Castle. Bamburgh Castle is nearby. Alnwick and its gardens lie eight miles south. The Cheviot Hills rise half an hour inland. A shop and two pubs are ten minutes' walk; The Landing beach café and bar is barely two minutes away.
