We spent a lovely two weeks in Church Cottage on our first trip to the Northumberland coast. Our group consisted of parents, grandparents and one teenaged child. The house was very spacious (larger than it looks in the photos!), clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a good holiday, including beach toys, plenty of kitchen equipment, DVDs and firewood for the wood-burner. Having both a bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs was useful. The garden and patio were private, sheltered and a lovely sun-trap. The owners have clearly thought a lot about what to provide to make for a good experience. The only negative for us was that the mattresses on two of the three beds we used were a little hard and/or lumpy.
Beadnell has two great beaches, a pub, hotel, cafe, fish and chip shop and a very well-stocked general store, all within a short walk from Church Cottage. Beadnell is well-situated to explore the Northumberland coast, with a bus linking it with Alnwick to the south and Berwick-Upon-Tweed to the north. We particularly enjoyed The Alnwick Garden and the boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses, even though, in mid-August, we were too late to see most of the migrating birds.

This was our second stay. The first time was Summertime when we had fantastic weather and found lots to do out and about. This time we stayed over New Year. The weather wasn't great, but we found lots to do in the cottage when we couldn't go out because of the heavy rain. It is so well equipped and warm and cosy. The open fire was fantastic. We had a little trouble while we were there with the plumbing. I contacted Tracy and she had a plumber with us within an hour. This was on New Years Eve too. Thank you Tracy for being so prompt and thanks too to the lovely plumber who was kind enough to come out at such a time. I would not hesitate to visit this cottage again.....it's one of the best!

Church cottage is a comfortable, warm and clean property next to the church in the village centre. Everything has been thought of by the owners and plenty of towels and fuel for the fire.
Easy walk to the beach or further to Seahouses with the busy harbour.
Great location for exploring all that this beautiful county has to offer. A lovely welcome from the owners with some great hints and tips for a productive stay in the house file.

We had a most wonderful time in this beautiful cottage-we did'nt want to go home!!
This has got to be the best equiped cottage we have ever stayed in-it is like a breath of fresh air that you can take dogs (we took 2) and have superior accomodation-you normally have to settle for second best if you have dogs-this cottage is the exception to the rule!!
The cottage had everything you could want and then some!!-it was beautiful and clean and fresh smelling-loads of kitchen equipment and storage everywhere.
We almost wished we had children to take as there was so much in the cottage to keep them occupied-even a dressing up box-and a fab bedroom for them!!!
The beds were comfy and warm and very stylish bedding.
The open fire is a must-we had lovely cosy nights while the wind howled outside!!
All in all it was perfect and a credit to Tracy the owner that she has put together such a lovely place in a beautiful part of the world-our favourite area of all Northumberland!!!

After a previous short visit to Beadnell in Oct 2013, my partner and I decided we would return in 2014, bringing my daughter, brother, sister-in-law and niece along too. I spent weeks trolling through countless holiday cottage websites only to come across this little gem of a cottage on TripAdvisor. Booking was easy, a short phone call to Tracy and it was done. We set off on the Saturday and arrived at 4pm ready for a cup of tea. The children's eyes lit up when they saw the beautiful enclosed garden and were straight out to play. The cottage itself was lovely and clean, and so comfortable. Tracy has not missed a single detail. Church cottage is ideally placed for beaches, towns, supermarkets, castles, walks, pubs, restaurants. We were never short of days out and things to do. And the neighbours across are such lovely helpful people. They spoilt the girls on Halloween night when they called round trick or treating. Thank you Tracy for a fabulous week, we hope to be back next year.
Had a fab time at this lovely cottage .We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again ,couldn't fault anything it was all just as described ...Wonderful !Thank you !
