Description

This on-the-beach architect-designed house presents coastal holidaying at its best. With private steps leading right down onto Smuggler's Cove beach, Beadnell Beach House has a stunning position and an equally impressive interior. Let the sound of the waves breaking on the shore lull you to sleep at night and wake you up to some mesmerising sea views.

The spacious and light-filled interior, recently updated, at Beadnell Beach House lends itself to the simple pleasures of a beach holiday from dining out on the terrace to relaxing on the first floor balcony. The open plan kitchen and dining space is perfect for entertaining while a second living room on the first floor, with its large cathedral style windows and a balcony, means whether you are here or on the terrace below, your sea view is never too far away. The architecture also provides a superb backdrop for the vivid contemporary Karen Willis artwork, all of which is available to purchase, should guests wish to.

Outside there is a hammock and outdoor furniture for true al fresco living and a short walk away are Beadnell's pubs, bistro and village store.

This glamorous beach setting caters for all ages and groups.

CANDID COMMENTS

Some of the furnishings are a little more 'well-loved home comfort' than plush designer chic, in keeping with its laid-back beachside location.
The steps down to the beach from the terrace are steep and unsuitable for toddlers or those who are unsteady on their feet. There is a public access path very close by which is better.

TO NOTE

This house is a family owned holiday home and as such is unsuitable for holding large parties. Small gatherings are, of course, welcome but no ‘open house’ please. Tents, hot tubs and mobile homes on the property are not permitted. Please refer to our Large Group advice list for further information.

Whilst we take great care to represent our properties and their facilities as accurately as possible, the décor, furnishings and facilities shown in images and video tours may occasionally be subject to minor change.

Beadnell Beach House is a children's paradise as it has the beach as its playground. You'll also find a dressing up box and toys to entertain the young ones. The patio area is enclosed but the steps down to the beach are a little steep and so supervision of toddlers is advised. Up to two travel cots (please bring your own cot linen) and two highchairs are available on request.

Reviews

Wow this was exactly the property we needed for all the family and better than the pics even. Loved the fully ‘properly’ equipped kitchen for in house cooking and the second sitting room for quiet time

Mrs C,

been before a few years ago , fantastic property but now maybe the time for a refresh and some TLC in certain places

Mr K,

Lovely house, brilliant location.

Mr P,

Fabulous family weekend at this beautiful home. Beadnell has beautiful beaches and good pubs/eateries close at hand. The accommodation was perfect for all of our 3 generation family and we loved the space to enjoy my husband’s 60th birthday including having a private chef for Saturday night’s dinner. We would love to return!

Mrs D,

We love this house! It is a very special place. This was our second visit and won’t be our last. Lots of space for us to come with the children and grandchildren. Beadnell is a lovely village with lovely pubs and lovely beaches but the best part of this property is the fantastic location right on the beach with such an amazing view!

Mrs L,

Excellent property and location for which you pay a premium amount to rent. We had a great stay. However when paying a premium you expect things to be perfect and there are a few maintenance issues that require attention. Black mould present in all showers. Double glazing misted inside a couple of windows and some catches rusted and difficult to use. Where there were curtains to draw at the windows it was difficult to do so as they would not run along the pole very well, particularly the front door curtain. Broken upper kitchen unit (Which held the glasses) made it very tricky to get glasses out unless you held the door up to do so. Some light bulbs need replacing. Rug in downstairs lounge full of large holes. Outdoor area over looking the beach needed sweeping and planting areas down the side sorting out. The hammock we had to do running repair to get it attached and a large bolt was missing from the frame. Swing seat doesn't swing properly. No outdoor furniture was not present when we arrived, it was being replaced and it arrived later that night. We assisted the owner in sorting it out. so it was built by the end of the evening. But we were unable to sit out for our evening meal.

Mrs Claire R,

An amazing house, right on the beach. Very well equipped and immaculately clean. There was plenty of room for 12 of us. Fantastic views.

Ms B,

Cleanliness of the rooms was not of usual high standard - cobwebs in bedrooms and in upper living room . The garden furniture was broken and left on the patio - the other pationchairs are wobbly The stairs down to the beach are overgrown with nettles and plants . The outside area on the patio and the entrance need sweeping - We stayed in this property last year so know what was to be expected - have used coastal retreats on many occasions but not up to usual just standard this time Also the welcome pack was not usual high standard - unfortunately would probably look for another company to use next time

Ms Helen W,

House was fab, perfect for family groups & being right at the beach is a bonus

Mrs June F,

Property location fantastic - very poor response regarding plumbing problem - one hand towel wc no hand wash /towels utility - poor quality bedding - cushions family room very grubby / stained - we have stayed before love house but not up to standard expected - would think twice about re-booking which is really annoying - you will have to upgrade your responses to problems.

Mrs Moira G,

The house was perfect for our family get together, the kitchen is well equipped, and the house is very spacious, the location is fabulous, very convenient for walks on the beach, village shop and local pub. My only criticism is that I emailed to ask for all the beds to be made up as doubles, and I received an email back from the office to confirm this. Unfortunately this wasn’t done and the beds were all made as singles which was disappointing!

Mrs Elaine R,

Mostly answered high as we were all very pleased with most things. I marked cleanliness down a little as there was some dust around on ledges and skirting boards. One of the family brought her pillow out as the pillowcase had small marks on it- washed in marks but she wasn’t happy with it. Also there were animal hairs on the cushions and rug. The large beds in the bedrooms where they were zipped beds had problems! They tended to have a ‘gap’ between the two mattresses and actually one mattress was higher than the other! That did cause sleeping in comfort a problem. A major concern was mixed instructions on how and where and when to dispose of waste! I rang your emergency number on the Saturday as the Blue bin was full when we arrived! I got a text back and then rang again. I spoke to Beccy, who seemed as confused as we were! She said the Blue bin was for glass and recycling- went out Tuesday night for Wednesday emptying. Our instruction in the folder was no glass in the bin but glass had to be taken to the recycling in Beadnell. We put the already full bin out on Tuesday aevening, along with general rubbish in the green bin, as we had observed other bins along the road and left them out all Wednesday. The green bin was emptied during Wednesday. The Bue bin was emptied early Thursday morning! Beccy also said Black bin for general waste and she had no instructions at all for the Green bin We took the glassware to the recycling in Beadnell , used the Blue bin for other recycling and the green bin for general waste! In the folder your colour coded information is irrelevant as the colours don’t relate to the bins! The whole situation with both waste and recycling needs reviewing as the information I got via text just before we left was different again. This is also applies to ‘what to do with laundry and washing up before we left. The information in the booklet is not the same as my text instructions. As we wanted to do everything correctly it became quite an issue with us all to make sure we did what you required.

Mrs Margaret H,

Love this place

Mrs Sarah D,

Beadnell beach house is absolutely perfect the location and direct beach access make for a fantastic trip. The view from the upstairs lounge has to been seen to be believed

D S,

The reason for the mark of 3 on the "cleanliness at the property" is because we found the en-suite bathroom downstairs to be smelly which we believe was coming from the plug holes. We purchased some Zoflora disinfectant and put that down the plug holes and toliet which greatly helped. On first use of the shower in this bathroom the water was going down the plug hole very slowly so we purchased some Mr Muscle drain unblocker which seemed to do its job. The same smell was also found to be present in the upstairs bathroom which the 2 bedrooms jointly shared and again we used some Mr Muscle drain foamer in there which helped and then also bought some dettol which we put down afterwards in both bathrooms. I think the drains need to be looked at in the future to avoid this happening again.

Ms Linzee G,

A wonderful house and location. Easy system for booking and regular updates/contact.

Mrs Jenny C,

Location
