  • "We don’t usually go on holiday in mid-December (this was a rearranged break due to family illness) but spending five nights at Driftwood Sands - and with some decent weather - made this an absolutely lovely break."

    The property had everything we could ask for - it was clean, comfortable, well appointed and welcoming. The location is brilliant - handy for all our favourite spots, and the two minute walk to the beach meant we finished each day walking on the sand watching some gorgeous sunsets, followed by relaxation in front of the very efficient log burner. We will definitely be back - thank you so much Jo.

    Thank you so much for a lovely review. It’s a wonderful location and glad you found it cosy and comfortable. Please come back again. Best jo Property Owner

    The property is furnished and maintained to a high standard, which makes for a really comfortable stay. We have stayed in many holiday rentals over the years and this is definitely one of the best.

  • "Fabulous property in a great location!"

    we have stayed in many properties in Beadnell over the years and this was by far the highest standard. Lovely furnishings and really nicely decorated, lots of great bathrooms and bedrooms, we were not short of anything during our stay. Well equipped kitchen too, and we loved having breakfast in the open plan setting. Log fire was great to to keep us cosy at night. The house is in a great location only 2 minutes walk to the beach at Beadnell. We could have moved in!! Thank you as well for the welcome items and the milk in the fridge, a really nice touch after a long drive !! well be back!

    Beadnell is blessed with beautiful beaches and spectacular scenery and is close to lots of places to eat. The house is gorgeous. Spotlessly clean.

  • "We had a wonderful week in Driftwood Sands, I didn’t want to leave."

    We arrived in the dark to be greeted by a lovely warm house that was lit gently by a cosy inviting light, thankyou for thinking of that little welcoming touch. Perfect location to the beach ( 5 mins) and on a nice quiet residential street. We had some great walks to low newton by the sea and Seahouses along the beaches- We do love staying in Beadnell. We fully appreciated the welcome pack of essential foods and goodies, thank you, it was very thoughtful and a lovely surprise. The kitchen was fully equipped for our needs and the space was very suitable for being sociable for a larger group/ family ( only two of us on this visit). All kitchen equipment and appliances appeared brand new and plentiful. I did note when cooking that the extractor fan didn’t vent externally, but only vented/ exausts into the little cupboard housing the fan- it caused the cupboard door to blow open when the fan was on- it didn’t bother me, just felt the landlord may wish to know

    Hi Georgina, so pleased you had a great visit and you found it cosy and warm. I will check out the extractor fan feedback too. Thanks do come and stay again! Thank you, Jo Property Owner

About the location

BEADNELL

Seahouses 1.5 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.

This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.
