We LOVED our stay at The Bolthole! Although we've been to Northumberland often, this was our first time staying in Beadnell and we found it to be a fantastic location with easy access to most of the coastline either by walking, or not having to drive too far, aswell as being close to Alnwick and some bigger supermarkets, and easy to head inland toRead more the National Park. Having a beach, shop, pub and cafes within easy walking distance was brilliant. The cottage itself is extremely well equipped, beautifully presented and super comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better 10 days. Hide
