“This is excellent 5 star accommodation.”

Very comfortable, well located, well equipped and proactive thoughtful communication from the owners. It’s located in a beautiful area of Northumberland with good access to the A1 and easily walkable to the beach. I would definitely recommend. As someone who often books single storey accommodation for elderly relatives with accessibility needs, (and often finds information is sketchy on this) it is worth knowing that there is a step down into one of the bedrooms (the one in the extension) ...

Very comfortable, well located, well equipped and proactive thoughtful communication from the owners. It’s located in a beautiful area of Northumberland with good access to the A1 and easily walkable to the beach. I would definitely recommend. As someone who often books single storey accommodation for elderly relatives with accessibility needs, (and often finds information is sketchy on this) it is worth knowing that there is a step down into one of the bedrooms (the one in the extension) the other two are step free. There is also a step down into the kitchen/dining area. This can be got around by using the patio doors. There are steps into the bungalow but these were less of an issue as there is something to hold on to get in and out.

“Loved Rosemary Cottage, the best one we’ve stayed in.”

It was spacious, comfortable, clean and had everthing we needed. Large garden with patio furniture to relax on after visiting so many lovely places nearby. Thank you Ed and Amanda for the very generous welcome gifts. Looking forward to visiting again next year. Ian and Glynis

“A beautiful cottage, very well appointed, and suited our family group needs beautifully.”

We had space for family times, but also space for individual times, which we all appreciated. The situation was quiet and beautiful, with horses coming over to the garden to meet us. The cottage contained all the gadgets, utensils, and tableware that we needed. My only criticism would be that there were quite a few cobwebs gathering in the ceiling corners. Overall Rosemary Cottage provided us with all that was needed for a perfect relaxing holiday. Thank you .

“Rosemary Cottage is a fantastic property.”

Extremely well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses etc. It has been stylishly renovated with a modern yet welcoming style. The welcome treats left by the owner were particularly high grade. The only suggestion I could make is that we were staying during the recent hot weather - although in Northumberland there was always a refreshing sea breeze. However as the large extension room at the cottage has extensive glass windows and skylights, some blinds to stop the sun shining in would have been helpful. I would highly recommend this property.

“Excellent property, very clean, well equipped and well maintained.”

We had a call from the owners before we set off which was lovely. It's situated very nicely, a very manageable walk to the pub, cafe and beach. All in all a lovely place to stay.

“Rosemary Cottage is exceptional and very spacious.”

It is beautiful and well equipped. The welcome pack provided by the owners was delightful. The home baked goodies did not last long, delicious! Cottage is close walking distance to eateries with the beach being about 10 minutes easy walk away. Definitely a cottage we would love to return to.

Sarah August 2025

“The cottage was perfect, beautifully decorated and lots of space for 6 people to spread out.”

The location was excellent, 2 minutes into the village and a 10 min walk to the beach. We loved the garden and the horses in the field behind. It really had everything we needed and cooking meals for everyone was no problem at all. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. Possibly one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in, we’d have no hesitation in booking another stay! The owners were easily contactable and made us very welcome with some lovely gifts and a message before we arrived. Thank you for a great stay

“Everything you need for a lovely family holiday.”

The wildlife outside was an added bonus, especially the horses who came to visit us on several occasions. A very quiet, peaceful area of Beadnell. Just a short walk to everything.

“Rosemary Cottage is the loveliest of places to stay, the kitchen has everything you could possibly want with ample crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc with no expense spared on equipment and gadgets, we particularly loved the ice dispenser in the fridge freezer!”

The beds are very comfortable with top quality cotton bedding and the most luxurious towels. The cottage was spotlessly clean on our arrival and the welcome pack was amazing... Ed and Amanda really know how to make you feel welcome here, including ensuring the Cottage was warm for our arrival. If we visit the North East again I really hope Rosemary Cottage is available for us, it is a stunning property that I could live in forever.

Jane September 2024

“Everything about Rosemary Cottage was excellent and we couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and welcoming stay.”

The homemade goodies and gift were delightful and the welcome `pack' was very generous. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday and the cottage really exceeded our expectations.

- Jane, September 2024
Emma August 2024

“Just stunning.”

Our expectations were already high from previous reviews and seeing the photos of the cottage. They were definitely surpassed and we had a wonderful stay. We very much appreciated the attentive and considerate contact from the owners before we arrived and the fabulous welcome gifts to greet our arrival. Rosemary Cottage is fantastic and is fully equipped for every need. There wasn’t a single thing we needed that the cottage didn’t have underlining the considerable care made. Seriously comfy beds, beautifully furnished, relaxing and inspiring garden and the added bonus of horses in the field. Perfect mindfulness. Beadnell is lovely and the cottage location is quiet yet perfectly positioned for the local amenities and great walk down to the beach. We would love to return but will have a dog shortly so we’ll need to find a cottage to reach the superb benchmark that Rosemary sets. A wonderful stay and a Big thank you to Ed and Amanda.

“There are self catering cottages and then there is Rosemary Cottage which is in a league of its own.”

Excellent location, peaceful and rural but close to eating places and beach. Really enjoyed our stay in a comfortable, well designed property with a superb kitchen and dining area. We appreciated the generous welcome pack and the good quality furnishings and kitchenware. The owners have really thought about the details that make the difference be tween an OK place to stay and a really memorable place that you really want to come back to.

“A superb holiday cottage in an ideal location - one of the best we've stayed in.”

Everything was provided and the beds and sofas were extremely comfortable. Enough kitchen crockery and utensils to cook a banquet for a small army. Spotlessly clean with a lovely welcome pack and note. Clear instructions for everything (other cottage owners please take note). Couldn't ask for more. Ed (the owner) was very helpful with a minor TV issue

“Rosemary Cottage is one of the best self-catering places we have ever stayed in.”

The kitchen and living area was very spacious and comfortable and everything that we could need was provided. We also really appreciated the separate sitting room, this was very nice and comfortable, and as a group of six this gave us an extra option for relaxation. The location was perfect, on a quiet road with horses in the fields behind, yet just a short walk from the village with its pubs and cafe. We also appreciated the owner's welcome package, which included wine, chocolate and home-made biscuits. Just some very minor points for considertion: there was no shaver point in the ensuite bathroom , I didn't check if there was one in the main bathroom as I didn't need it, I had charged my shaver before arriving; a shelf in the showers to put shampoo etc. on would have been nice; the very large teapot was appreciated but a tea cosy would have been handy - we improvised with a tea towel!

“A second wonderful stay at Rosemary Cottage, which is terrific in every respect.”

It is is beautifully furnished, very well equipped and very relaxing, with easy coastal walks from the door and three good eateries within an easy 5 min walk. The cottage is so lovely that on the one day of very inclement weather we decided not to go out at all but to hunker down in comfort instead, for which it is perfect. The best holiday rental at which we have ever stayed.

“Beautifully furnished, equipped and decorated, this is an extremely comfortable and warm cottage, in an ideal location.”

Beadnell is a quiet village with a pub serving food and real ale plus two other restaurants for lunch and dinner. These are less than 5 mins walk from the cottage and the Salt Water cafe is especially recommended for perfectly cooked, freshly prepared dishes. Beadnell Bay is a 10 min walk for the beach and coastal path. It is worth noting that only one of the bedrooms has hanging space for clothes, whilst the other two just have drawers, so best to pack accordingly. This is probably the most perfect cottage we have ever rented in one of the loveliest parts of the UK.

“Our stay at Rosemary Cottage was amazing.”

Location was close to the two village pubs in beadnell and a short walk across the field to the beach. The property is well equipped for everything you need for a long stay. Amazing open plan kitchen/dinner and living space. A lovely room to cook and entertain. The modernisation of the bungalow has made Rosemary Cottage a lovely well throughout property to stay in. The 3 double bedrooms are all good sizes with one having an en-suite and a main large family bathroom with walk in shower and huge bath. The additional living room is great for the kids to play in or watch tv and is a lovely snug with a log burner for winter. The gardens are beautiful and you can tell that it is much loved property by the owners. Ed was supper attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed. Some lovely touches in the welcome pack and it all added to our amazing stay. The major wow factor is the amazing views from the back of the house. Looking out over the Northumberland countryside and the beautiful horses in the field close to the property. We would definitely recommend this property it is the best we have stayed in in Beadnell. Thank you for such a great stay.

“Rosemary cottage was a perfect place for our family, with the two kids and us in the two rooms on one side and a lovely en-suite room for my parents on the other.”

It was a great family space with a kitchen,diner, living space that was great for spending time with each other and a separate living room for some quiet time. We have spent a lot of holidays in this part of Northimberland and location wise its great. Only 25 mins from Alnwick and the supermarkets, and amenities but also a good travelling distance north and south to places like Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Craster and Amble. Beadnell itself has a good beach a 5 minute walk away and a good pub, cafes and small shop. But Seahouses is just 5 mins by car to a larger Co-op. Outside the house there is loads of parking on the drive for 2 cars or 3 small ones and some friendly horses in the field behind the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the cottage layout and facilities were great. Would thourougly reccomend.

“We found Rosemary Cottage late after being badly let down by Cottages.”

Com with a very few weeks to go, and we’re so pleased the we found this GEM. The cottage is in a perfect peaceful location ideally situated to explore our favourite part of the UK. It has everything you could ever need for a relaxing week away, and the owner communicated with us really well. We would definitely recommend the cottage to other guests, and hope to be able to return again in the future. Thanks a bunch Ed

“This is a lovely cottage with a restaurant and pub around the corner.”

The beach and harbour are also nearby. The back kitchen / diner/ sofa area is so relaxing with light from the windows. The underfloor heating makes this huge modern room cosy. The cottage is well furnished with quality furniture etc so is comfortable and stylish. The garden area and bbq extend the dining area outside. We will be rebooking.

Everything almost perfect, just one tiny niggle, you could do with more airers to dry wet beach stuff and laundry indoors when it's raining

“Beautiful cottage on quiet lane with excellent facilities, 5mins walk to the amazing 3 mile beach (v safe for bodyboarding and kayaking), sun all day in the garden including great sunset views, easy access to holiday spots like Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh/Budle Bay and more.”

Handy for village shop, pub and cafes. Highly recommended.

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.
