“Bread and milk on arrival was very thoughtful and unexpected.”

The whole bungalow was spotlessly clean. Beach and pubs were very close by.

The whole bungalow was spotlessly clean. Beach and pubs were very close by.

Graham April 2024

“Just what we expected.”

Handy location for us as birdwatchers, with the beach being so close, also for Seahouses, Lindisfarne, Cragside and other attractions.

- Graham, April 2024
Kathryn April 2024

“The cottage was exceptionally clean.”

The front garden area was well kept and 2 garden chairs and a small table was provided. The facilities we could not fault, hairdryer and straightener, a vast range of cookwear and utensils in addition to a very easy to use washing machine with outside line and indoor airer. The extra touch of a loaf of bread, tea and milk was also very welcomed. There was also dishwashing liquid, cloths and tea towells. Out and about, dog friendly beach less than 5 minute stroll, harbour and another dog friendly beach approx 15 minute stroll, nearest village pub that served lovely food less than 10 minute stroll, all flat with no inclines. We had a lovely week staying in Primrose Cottage, and the surrounding area was beautiful, Lindisfarne was approx 30 minute drive and Hadrian's Wall took us just over an hour to get to Walltowns Crag. Seahouses was a 5 minute drive and the Fish and Chips in Lewis's were delicious and reasonably priced. We would not hesitate to recommend this property when visiting this gorgeous part of Northumberland

John March 2024

“It was great to see the cottage freshly decorated and cleaned nicely .”

A slight concern that a loud electrical buzz was emanating from the small Cupboard in hall. Noise was constant throughout our stay . Overall a generally pleasant stay.

- John, March 2024
David February 2024

“An excellent little cottage in quiet surroundings.”

A shirt walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive to the town. A couple of great pubs serving good food. A perfect stay for 2 of us and our 2 dogs. Will definitely go again.

- David, February 2024
Diane January 2024

Valerie September 2023

“Great little bungalow.”

Perfect for two, and the dog. Comfortable and well equipped, everything you need. Easy to get to pubs, shop and beach. Great location for visiting the area.

- Valerie, September 2023
David September 2023

“Nice little bungalow.”

In a good spot for the beach and the pub. We were caught out by the heating being switched off early one night. Got in after 10 to find out there was no heat. Not good on a cold night but apart from that it was fine.

- David, September 2023
Joyce August 2023

“Lovely cottage.”

Nice touch of bread and milk etc when we arrived. Shower was best I've had.

- Joyce, August 2023
John July 2023

“Great Location, however in need of some TLC.”

Microwave was rusty, No basic cleaning supplies (No dish cloths,Bin bags , and bin lid did NOT fit on bin). General cleanliness was substandard , thick black dust of skirting boards behind bed , Valance on bed hanging off and filthy, mattress was relatively comfortable, however a spring has gone in the mattress -therefore making it noisy (and therefore needs replacing). Bedroom had an extremely rusty radiator, and a very damp smell. On a positive note there is a full size fridge/freezer which is handy, a washing machine , and a clothes line outside -Plus what looked like new sofas in Lounge (which were very comfortable).

- John, July 2023
Sarah June 2023

“This little cottage was perfect for us, walking distance to the beach, enclosed area for the dog, green area nearby, bed was lovely and comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, a sofa each and the bathroom/shower was lovely.”

We didn't want to come home! Thank you

- Sarah, June 2023

Katrina May 2023

“Lovely little cottage.”

Couldnt have asked for anything more. A short walk to the beach and close by for all other areas.

- Katrina, May 2023
Mary May 2023

“Misleading description of property.”

- Mary, May 2023
Sheila April 2023

“Good location in a nice quiet area”

- Sheila, April 2023
Rita April 2023

“We stayed for a short 4 night break with our two hounds in April.”

The accommodation was perfect for us, we didn’t have to worry about getting sand all over, the easy clean laminate flooring just swept. Well kept and stocked kitchen, with everything we needed. Outside was fine for our hounds, but if you have a ‘jumper’ the fence wouldn’t be high enough. We didn’t really have warm enough weather to sit outside, but there was table and chairs if needed. The accommodation is compact, but adequate, there was floor space for our two dog beds. All in all a lovely little place and very near to the fantastic beach.

- Rita, April 2023
Jean March 2023

“Cosy cottage well maintained in a quiet area wants for nothing”

- Jean, March 2023
James February 2023

“Brilliant little hide away with plenty to do in the area for walkers and site seeing.”

- James, February 2023
Sarah January 2023

“Nice cosy cottage in a quiet location.”

Ideal base for most places of interest in Northumberland. Nice beach nearby. The cottage was well equipped and the milk and bread was a nice touch.

- Sarah, January 2023
Yvonne October 2022

“On opening the porch door we were hit by an overpowering smell of dogs.”

This wasn't a home from home, no ornaments or home comforts, not even a lamp in the living area, we had to put the kitchen light on rather than sit with the main lights on. The bed was very small, it certainly wasn't a double. The bathroom was nice and the shower was lovely. There was milk in the fridge for us and a small loaf of bread which was a nice gesture. The bungalow could do with a make over, new blinds etc, and a few finishing touches.

- Yvonne, October 2022
Lynn September 2022

“The cottage was clean and well equipped, it is in a perfect position for beach walking and eateries in the village.”

We were extremely lucky with the weather and found it a perfect base to explore the local areas.

- Robert, July 2022
Janice July 2022

“A very compact property and lovely to have the enclosed area for our dog.”

Very comfortable and everything you need for a relaxing stay. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach and surrounded areas to visit- lots to see in the area and not to far to drive to the various castles We had a lovely stay at Primrose Cottage

- Janice, July 2022
Susan May 2022

“Lovely cottage, quiet position good dog safe garden.”

Once we worked out how to work oven it was even better. Bedroom a bit small but we slept well enough. Will return again.

- Susan, May 2022

Thank you for your comments. The oven has now been replaced Property Owner
Pamela May 2022

“We were disappointed to find that the property was in the middle of a housing estate.”

It was very comfortable and cosy but a lot smaller than we expected. I couldn't make out how the oven worked, as no instructions and the dials were unreadable and no frying pan. The property was very clean and tidy.

- Pamela, May 2022
Colin May 2022

“The property fullfilled our requirements adequatly.”

Its close proximity to the beach, shop and local pub where a bonus.

- Colin, May 2022
Sandra March 2022

“Thanks for a lovely break.”

Bungalow very warm and comfortable. Everything we needed.

- Sandra, March 2022
Euan March 2022

“Totally stunning area, beautiful.”

Primrose Cottage is not a Cottage it felt like an oap bungalow in a residential area. It was a nightmare to find, didn't help that the 7 was missing of the 76, the other number was on the other side and clearly not seen from the road. I was some what disappointed with the cleanliness of Primrose, had to clean dishes and cutlery as there was dried food on them, the cupboards inside were dirty, even found a pair of someone's pants in the washing machine, so much for the apparent deep clean!! On a positive Craster Arms for a meal is a must, beautiful and a very dog friendly place. Will definitely be back to Northumbria just not here!

- Euan, March 2022
Sharon February 2022

“The property worked for us as we just needed a base for walking Great proximity to the coast path and good local pub and cafe.”

It was clean n warm once we figured out the heating.Shower good Great to have wifi as phone signal poor. Nice sitting out area but no view . However we were disappointed that it wasnt actually a cottage more like an OAP bungalow and on an estate not actually in the village There wasnt a sign for Primrose Cottage and we didnt know the number so wasted time in the rain locating it . The oven only has 1 shelf so we had to use a trivet as a second one.Decor a bit dated The bedroom was cramped due to a useless wardrobe ( only one side opened) Made it feel like a caravan bedroom as your head was up against the side of the wardrobe and the shelf on the wall strange height and wobbly A bit more thought in the bedroom would easily make it more comfortable. Might be a covid thing but would have been useful to know no sponge or washing up brush cling film foil etc in the kitchen We are used to these basics in UK holiday homes but maybe thats changed Just say then we know to bring them

- Sharon, February 2022
Norman November 2021

“Was much of everything you would want.”

Nice peaceful two day stay. No complaints at all

- Norman, November 2021
James June 2021

“Accomodation excellent very clean and tidy.”

Everything you need not far to the beach.

- Hazel, November 2019
Chris November 2019

“Some guidelines in how to adjust the central heating would be useful, I figured it out in the end but it took some time.”

Also there was a sweeping brush but no dustpan! Being so close to the beach means sand indoors us inevitable. Have said that, I will probably use that cottage again, very happy with it.

- Chris, November 2019
S October 2019

“Everything was good.”

Easy access to all facilities. Owners left us a bottle of wine and some flowers when they found out this trip was for our Honeymoon, that was lovely of them.

- S, October 2019
Lesley August 2019

“The cottage is in a lovely quiet area, the decked outdoor space is a real sun trap.”

“Really nice cottage in a wonderful area had very nice holiday this cottage was very comfable”

- John, September 2018
Vanessa August 2018

“Cottage was tired and in need of a refurbishment.”

Paint on ceiling had run down walls. Lots of dust and stains. Drawers hadn’t been cleaned out of previous guests as personal item was left in. No room for storing suitcase so kept tripping over it in bedroom. No shelving in bathroom for personal belongings. On the positive side it was close to the beach and surrounding areas we wanted to visit. A secure garden for the dogs which was perfect to catch the evening sun after a day out. A good dog friendly pub nearby which serves good food.

- Vanessa, August 2018
Dorita August 2018

“Very well equipped.”

Lovely cottage. As described. The only down side was that the mattress was very hard and lumpy - it needs replacing. Other than that, we had a lovely holiday with the dogs. Loved the beach!

- Dorita, August 2018

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.
