What a wonderful cottage in a quiet area of Beadnell, yet a short walk to the beach and harbour and ideally placed for this amazing area. We enjoyed 2 trips to the Farne Islands landing on Inner Farne with its astonishing wildlife and a walk to Long Nanny to see the terns. Visits to Bamburgh, Chillingham and Alnwick Castles and local villages sucRead moreh as Craster and Low Newton and generally relaxing meant our 2 weeks in the Shambles flew by. Many thanks for our stay and the welcome pack. Highly recommended Hide

A beautiful, comfortable and well equipped cottage in the heart of this lovely seaside village. We loved the giant sofas, comfy beds and the separate tv room. The weather was still warm enough in September to catch a few rays in the courtyard garden. Plenty of amenities with the shop, cafe and pub and lots of places to visit within a short drive.
