If you are looking for self catering accommodation in Northumberland then Coast and Country Retreats are the perfect place to check out.

Last month my partner and I took a drive up to Northumberland to stay in the newly launched cottages from Coast and Country Retreat in the village of Beadnell. In Total they have 10 different cottages to choose from in the coastal village.

We stayed in the Megstone Cottage which is a stones throw from Beadnell Towers and the Craster Arms. We had a perfect view of the Church outside our window.
Why Visit Beadnell?

Beadnell is in the picturesque Northumberland with award winning beaches. It has so much to offer. Both country and coast. A few miles up the Road is Bamburgh, which has the been voted the best beach in the UK. But Beadnell itself is on the coast and the harbour and beach are equally just as stunning. Make sure to visit at sunset, there is no better view!




The next Village along is Seahouses which is another Harbour with an abundance of activities especially for the kids. It is home to a cluster of pubs and fish and chip shops and also have a soft play, mini golf and it’s own very popular golf course.
Beadnell itself is home to beautiful holiday homes, Beadnell Towers and Craster Arms which are two of the best pubs in Northumberland. Beadnell Towers is an award winning hotel and bar and host to local chef Paul Johnson. Its culinary delights are super popular in the North East so be sure to book before you visit. Next door you can find the Craster Arms, renown for it’s Sunday Lunch. Aside from it’s dining options, Beadnell is a brilliant spot for walking, water sports. rock pooling, you could also grab a boat ride out to the Farne islands and explore the wildlife.
Why stay at Coast and Country Retreats?

Northumberland is a natural area of outstanding beauty and so is home to boutique buildings. You will not find large chain hotels in this area but more so self catering holiday homes. Which are ideal and fit the pace of the coast and country.
Coast and Country Retreats have 9 different home available in Beadnell to meet everyone’s needs and size. You’re never far from a fish and chip shop but it’s always good to have the option to cook for yourself and self catering means you can really chill out on you’re holiday.





The self catering cottages have luxury furnishings including a fully stocked kitchen, luxury bed linen and towels. There is plenty of space to sit and relax on your stay and also have some privacy in the rooms. Our cottage had a main room with a full length mirror and chest of drawers and the second bedroom was a twin room with bunk beds and plenty of hanging storage. The apartment was very clean and super quiet.

I really enjoyed the bedding, it was super crisp and very comfortable. The great thing was that it was literally a 5 minute walk to the beach from the apartment too!




I loved the decor of the apartment, it was laid back and was decorated to remind you of you’re beach holiday!
