“We approached this visit to White Rock Cottage with a certain amount of trepidation as the cottage had received in March a non too positive review by one person, although we were reassured by Sykes every thing would be OK.”
As we arrived in Beadnell and drove towards the cottage we could not believe its outstanding position. Once inside all our worries dissipated , everywhere looked clean and nicely furnished with great views of the sea, rocks and in the distance the Farne Island. Anybody interested in walking or photography of birds the place is ideal as around the cottage we saw many people with cameras, spotter scopes , walking gear and one day we even saw scuba and divers with air bottles going in the sea. There was a nice easy walk to Beadnell harbour, Seahouses, Bamburgh and Holy Island were all in easy reach by car, plus if you wanted to visit the Farne Islands you only had to drive to Seahouses to catch a boat. The kitchen was well equipped with modern equipment and many utensils, the bedroom adequate and the bathroom one would say compact but very modern. Returning to the March review by one person, we actually saw in the Visitor’s Book his comments and they were completely opposite to the Sykes review and they agreed how we felt about White Rock Cottage that we had wished we had discovered it sooner as we sat on the furniture looking out of the windows to watch the sea crashing on the rocks and giving us a relaxing time. If there was a minor negative , that week we had a coldish wind which limited the time we sat out, if we had been able to spend more time sitting out on the patio that would have made White Rock Cottage even more advantageous for a visit.
