Book a romantic getaway in this fabulous couple’s retreat, set just 400 metres from the golden sands of Beadnell Bay. This sweeping crescent of beach is a hub for water sports, including kite surfing, sea kayaking and wakeboarding, and is also perfect for sandcastle-building, beach cricket and long sunset strolls. In the village, which lies within the Northumberland Coast National Landscape, you’ll find a variety of shops and places to eat and drink, or you can head to Seahouses, just 2 miles away, where there’s a range of appealing boutiques and an iconic fish smokehouse. There’s another excellent beach here, and from the harbour, you can book a boat trip to see the Farne Islands and their puffins. While in the area, try some kippers from Craster, just 8.5 miles away, or head to one of the many renowned castles, including Bamburgh (5.5 miles) and Alnwick (13 miles).

Create special memories with a stay in this welcoming detached bungalow, which has been decorated with great flair, using a palette of vibrant coastal colours and a variety of high-quality, interesting furnishings. The main living space is open plan, including a lounge area with a Smart TV and a comfortable, L-shaped sofa. Sink into its comfort and stream your favourite shows, or perhaps pick up the guitar and strum a few tunes. The superb kitchen includes an array of appliances to help you cook up gourmet delights, including a microwave, a dishwasher and an air fryer. There’s even a juicer to make super-healthy drinks. When you’re ready to eat, the spacious breakfast bar has two high stools where you can sit and tuck in, illuminated by colourful glass pendant lights. From the lounge, a sliding door opens to the bright and airy double bedroom, which has its own bi-fold doors to the garden. This room includes ample storage and a small dressing table too. For a refreshing start to your day, the shower room has a hotel feel, beautifully tiled and with a large rainforest shower head, double basins and a luxurious demisting, illuminated mirror.

Step through the bi-fold doors in the living space and straight into the large patio garden, which feels very private and faces south to catch the sun, perfect for drinks and dining outdoors. There’s a choice of places to sit, a handy line on which to air-dry wet suits and swimming gear, and a useful external laundry room, which also offers a secure space in which to store bikes or bags. If you or your pet are covered in sand after a day on the beach, you can use the outside tap and hose to rinse off. This property offers a private parking space for one car and there is on-street parking, if needed for visitor parking.

The cottage is lovely and has been done to a great standard. Very comfortable and well equipped. Quiet neighbourhood. It was perfect for us and our two wee dogs. Nice privacy in the garden too as it is well fenced in with a few seating areas. Absolutely loved it and trying to book again for next year.

A beautifully renovated bungalow, tastefully styled as a seaside cottage. Very good use of limited space and obviously thoughtful owners who provided a welcome pack of coffee, tea and wine. It is a little small, but big enough for two people.

we would love to go back to Shell Cottage again. The cottage was well equipped to a high standard and very comfortable. It is a walking distance to a beautiful beach which we walked every day with our dog. We would recommend The Craster Arms which is walking distance in the village, the food and the staff are excellent.

Wow, what can I say. Shell cottage is absolutely amazing, as soon as we stepped through the gate we could see what a beautiful place we had booked. Absolutely everything has been thought of, the kitchen is absolutely stunning with top of the range equipment, there are doors that open out onto the enclosed patio area outside, although we didn't takeRead more our dog on this occasion it had everything you needed for your fur baby, from towels, treats, poo bags and even a wash off area, not forgetting the large enclosed outside area to keep your dog safe from escaping. The bathroom is lovely with a powerful shower and double sinks, all nipping clean. A spacious bedroom with the most comfortable bed and plump pillows. The cottage is a 5 minute walk from the village shop and bus stop(we took the bus to Seahouses which takes approx 7 minutes, Beadnell Bay is about a 15 minute walk also, we took the route along seafront but you can take a short cut through the village which takes you past the pubs and cafes. It's just a beautiful place and the cottage is a luxurious base, would not hesitate to stay again. Hide
