"Just back from staying at Smugglers Cove for Christmas."
We had a lovely time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the property and location. The owner and caretakers were amazingly helpful.
The cottage had everything you need and more for a home away from home. Very well equipped kitchen, which was appreciated as we did Christmas lunch - turkey and all the trimmings. We walked on the beach at Beadnell Bay every day for the most amazing sunrises and scenery. We just drove the short distance as you get an hour free in the car park there but you could walk it in 10 mins or so. So close to Bamburgh and we visited The Farne Islands too which was about 30 mins away and a scenic drive.
The location really is stunning and great for exploring what Northumberland has to offer.

"This is a great property in a great position within Beadnell."
We had a great stay. The only negitive feedback would be the matress on the double bed was far to soft and the yard could do with a tidy up. I would definatley book this cottage again

"This property was in a great location, close to the beach and to a range of pubs/eateries."
The property was comfortable, well furnished and equipped with quality items. information re what to do with bedding, towels and bins was clear and helpful. The property was absolutely spotless. If anything could be suggested for improvement it would be the small rear courtyard which needs weeding and would benefit from some decor eg hanging baskets/lights/bunting. This wasn't an issue for us at this time of year (October) as we didnt use outside space. there were a selection of goodies including gin and tonic and bisuits but I agree with the previous reviewer who said it would be of great benefit to have some milk to be able to have a warm drink on arrival. As I had read this review by a previous guest, we bought some on the way. There was a dripping tap in the kitchen and we left a note re this for the cleaners to see so hopefully resolved for future guests.

"Our stay at Smugglers was fantastic."
Everything was clean and spotless. Beds were extremely comfy and the shower in the bathroom was lovely & hot and powerful when you needed a blast after a rainy day. I would say, whilst the welcome pack is a very thoughtful idea - a couple of sachets of milk to start off would have been very welcome. We travelled over 6 hours and was not able to make a quick brew whilst we unpacked before we went shopping for essentials. The cottage is very well placed for everything in the village with the pub being 2mins and The Courtyard being literally next door. The Bay and Landings are about 10mins walk around the coast (there may be a shorter route but we didn't find it) Thank you for allowing us to stay I'm your beautiful house.

"This was our first stay at this gorgeous property."
It was clean and had a lovely feel about it. There was every thing we could possibly need at the property. The seating area at the back is a real sun trap. Our wet suits were hung out to dry in no time. The property is a stone throw away from the beach so a walk along the beach was a daily essential.
It was a lovely gesture arriving to a gin and tonic, biscuits, tea and coffee. Treats were even left for our fur baby which he thoroughly enjoyed.
There is parking at the front for one car which is safe from the main road. We would definitely stay here again.

"Nice clean, compact, well appointed cottage."
Good dog friendly places nearby to eat, such as Salt Water Cafe, The Courtyard and Craster Arms. There's also decent takeaways in nearby Sea Houses.
We visited the National Trust's Cragside and Lindisfarne Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle, Berwick-upon-Tweed and enjoyed coastal walks during our stay.
We used Google Maps, Street-view to help find Smugglers Cove Cottages. There is a name-plate on the wall of the terrace of cottages but it has become covered by a bush. I suggest that the bush is cut back so that the name-plate can be read.
My wife, myself and Minnie the dog recommend this property

"We loved our stay at Smugglers Cove 7 !"
It instantly felt like home from home, we looked forward to returning to get all cosy in the evenings. Everything you could possibly need is provided, and the little touches with the decor just made it feel so welcoming.
We both said we could live there given half the chance !
The welcome tray was such a lovely surprise and Ted was very impressed with his treats as the doggies are usually forgotten about !
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage, we look forward to returning some time in the near future.

"We had a wonderful stay in this warm cosy little house."
The only thing I found difficult were the overpowering scent sticks. The kitchen was extremely well equipped - even a mussel pot. The living room was lovely - full of light and the sun for most of the day. The beaches are spectacular. Beadnell and the surrounding area are a doggie paradise. I have never seen so many and so varied a collection.
