Overview
Property code: OC-88710

Escape to the seaside in this beautiful holiday home, which enjoys a prime location on the seafront at Beadnell. Sleeping five guests, the property is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Head down to the golden, sandy beach to try a whole host of water sports, or simply relax on the sand and listen to the sound of the waves. From here, follow the coastal path for 3 miles, to explore the colourful fishing village of Seahouses, with its bustling harbour and fantastic array of seafood restaurants. A further 3 miles will bring you to the historic town of Bamburgh, with its iconic castle perched on the cliff. Heading inland, you’ll soon reach the attractive market town of Wooler (21 miles), right on the edge of Northumberland National Park. The town is known as the ‘Gateway to The Cheviots’ and is a great base from which to enjoy long hikes through the wild and remote landscape.

The semi-detached property is accessed via a ramp to the front door. Once inside, discover a light and airy holiday home, decorated in a subtle coastal theme. Two steps lead up to the large kitchen/diner. This area provides the perfect place to spend time with loved ones, cooking together in the stylish kitchen, sharing informal meals at the breakfast bar, or enjoying formal dinner parties and celebrations at the wooden dining table. In the evening, gather in the cosy lounge to chat around the wood burner, watch a film on the Smart TV, or simply curl up with a book and admire the gorgeous sea views. Completing the ground floor is a single bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor, where you’ll find two beautiful super-king-size bedrooms (can be made up as twin bedrooms on request). Both bedrooms have been decorated in calm, neutral tones and enjoy relaxing sea views. A family bathroom is also located on this floor.

Outside, a sunny garden awaits, with mature hedgerows and floral borders. The area is enclosed, which is great for canine guests, and there is outdoor furniture and a BBQ for enjoying al fresco dining during summer months.

We stayed here 3 years ago and it was a nice, comfortable cottage so used it again. However we wish the latest reviews had been available when we booked this time.

In our opinion this needs sorting quickly as it is uncomfortable to stay in and does not justify the price we paid. The mattress and broken blind remain as per previous reviews.

Topcliffe is positioned in a fantastic location on the coast at Beadnell. The kitchen is well appointed and the living room comfortable. It is a good location from which to explore north Northumberland. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here, there is lots to do and see in the local area and plenty of sea air.

The best aspect of this property is its location: a sea view, close the shop and local pub and restaurant. Location cannot be faulted and we have had a very nice 2w stay in Northumberland using this place as a base for daily excursions. We saw puffins, pod of dolphins, visited historical sites, had great walks and even had a few really nice beach dRead moreays. However, I sadly cannot recommend the cottage nor the service we have received. The property appeared to us a little run down with stains on walls present in most rooms and blistering wallpaper in others. There were initially problems with the boiler which got fixed during our stay, but there were also broken blinds which meant that it was difficult to get a good night sleep with sunrise being early in Summer. The latter wasn't fixed and after a few attempts to bring to agency attention, I gave up. The labelling around the house and the manuals for the property have not been reviewed for some time. I am really saddened having to write this as the property has an amazing potential as a holiday let and I wish well to tourism business in this area as it's a very remarkable place having something to offer for almost everyone. There's nothing original nor cottage about this Original Cottage offering. Topcliffe was a semidetached house that clearly has seen better days. I think particularly tourists from outside of the UK may find it very disappointing but perhaps its symptomatic of how unaffordable housing and house maintenance has become in the UK. For comparison, within the last 4 years, I visited Northumberland staying Youth Hostel Association and considering the price tag had a much better experience and received a far more caring service. This is what I would still recommend though I appreciate it may not be appropriate for every family. Hide

We first stayed here in 2017, when the property had recently been refurbished and was in excellent condition. We have visited twice more prior to this visit.

The house is in an amazing village and location right opposite the beach. The kitchen is well equipped and has a lovely seating area where you can watch the sea which eating your breakfast. The beds and blinds need some upgrades as they were uncomfortable and or broken. Welcome book was also out of date and incorrect.

This is a wonderfully equipped cottage which is spacious and has everything you could need in the way of kitchen appliances and the central heating worked well on a very cold wet day. It is in an amazing position overlooking the sea and the Farne Islands. There is sheltered private garden at the rear of the property which was wonderful on the sunnyRead more days in May. There are two very good inns serving excellent meals within a short walk and a fish and chip van nearby on a weekend. Plenty of local literature in the cottage and a huge television and a log fire in the lounge. We hope to return next year. Hide

Well equipped cottage in a great location for the beaches of Beadnell. Sadly let down by the decor. Paint peeling off the walls and damp in upstairs bedroom which was sitting on the walls. When we arrived the heating wasnt on and it felt cold, something you dont want after a long journey. Upstairs Mattress is uncomfortable. Garden not fully encloseRead mored. New fence all the way round which for some reason stops leaving a small gap into next door so couldnt let my dogs loose in there.

Spent Christmas 2023 here with the family; 5 &2 dogs. Would return. Amazing cottage. Warm, comfortable with a wood burner. Kitchen is really big with good appliances and table for 6 people. Has a dishwasher, washer/dryer, single oven and microwave. Lots of pots and pans but needs new chopping boards and oven cooking trays. Did dishwasher all of theRead more crockery before using it as needed a good clean. No oven gloves though so had to use the tea towel instead. Has an enclosed garden that can do with some work and tidying but still ok. 3 bedrooms. Both upstairs bedrooms could do with replacing a mattress in each as you sink in the middle so not really the comfortable. Both bathrooms had been cleaned so no black mould. Has an Illy coffee machine so took some pods with us to use. Cottage didnt have anywhere to hang coats up so some hooks on the back of the bedroom doors would be useful. Overall a really good cottage, clean, tidy and not a lot of broken items which you find in some places. Great location as had 2 beaches within walking distance and shops in seahouses for essentials if needed. Would stay again as so quiet and peaceful. Hide

Topcliffe is in a fantastic location just across from the beach, and close to the village amenities. It's marketed as 4 star - it certainly isn't at the moment (Nov 2023), but could be with a few repairs/upgrades and decoration throughout. I'd be interested to know what the 'completed part 1 of the renovations' were, as we couldn't see anything 'coRead morempleted' except a new gate to the back which is very cheap and already scrapes on the ground and can blow open. Some things were missing, e.g. the stated 'DVD facility', and initial supply of logs. None of this detracted from a great week! The house is warm and cosy, except from the stair area which stays pretty cold. Dining kitchen is large and, with a couple of exceptions, well kitted out. Large TV and fire make for cosy evenings. If it was renovated and upgraded we'd certainly return. Hide
