Marram Cottage, Beadnell

• Sleeps: 6
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathroom: 1
• Minimum stay: 3-7 nights

Part of the North Northumberland Heritage Coast and set within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Beadnell Bay was voted the best beach in the North East by The Times in 2024.

You’ll find Marram Cottage dreamily set just behind dunes that lead straight onto that very golden-sand, horseshoe-shaped bay, which means you won’t have to travel far for a fun family day at the beach.

(The bay is so close, in fact, that it’ll feel like you’re staying in your very own beach hut… only with full self-contained facilities and ridiculously cosy beds!)

If you don’t feel like going out, you can still keep a close eye on those dunes from the comfort of the light-flooded sun room, complete with comfy chairs for morning coffee or curling up with a good book.

There’s also a sociable, soft-toned living space to unwind in after a long day of doing just whatever you feel like. Simply light the wood-burner to add a warm glow to your evening as you snuggle up in front of the Smart TV.

A well-equipped kitchen is on hand for feast-preparation – or rustling up a hearty picnic to bring to the beach! – along with a table and chairs for leisurely breakfasts peppered with carefree conversation.

When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find three charming bedrooms to choose from: a double, twin, and bunk room with adult-sized beds for complete flexibility. Along with high-quality bedding and plenty of storage space, each room is fitted with a blackout blind to aid lazy holiday lie-ins.

More information

Freshen up in the family bathroom – with underfloor heating especially for chilly mornings! – and then it’s on to planning your day.

You could laze on the south-facing, sun-trap patio as the kids play among the dunes (you’ll find premium al fresco dining furniture and a barbecue here, too), or open the gate and take the super-short path directly to Beadnell Bay. If you’ve brought your beach equipment or are indulging in a few watersports, you’ll even find a handy garage to store everything in.

If you’re able to tear yourselves away from the beach, Dunstanburgh Castle – which you’ll be able to spot from the garden-dunes – makes for a great day out; steeped in dramatic history and accessible by a beautiful, breezy walk.

An ideal base for exploring the many delights of Northumberland, there are also plenty of places to eat close by – from artisan pizza to that coastal staple of fish and chips! – in a fun, convenient, and lazily indulgent break for the whole family.
