Location
The hamlet of Tughall Steads is a collection of converted stone farm buildings and is mainly made up of holiday homes. The houses are surrounded by open countryside and a 5 minute drive will take you to the beach at either Beadnell or Newton by the sea. It is ideally situated for access to Bamburgh to the north and Craster to the south. It is located close to our other cottages The Hemmel, The Wood Store, The Well House and Moo House. If you happen to look at Tughall Steads on google earth, please note that the apparent ‘airstrip’ shown nearby was last used in 1948!
For further information on the area, see our Tughall Steads section

Candid Comments
The 3rd shower room is on the ground floor, not upstairs with the bedrooms, but its location is useful for showering sandy children after a day at the beach!
