Benthall House - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Benthall House is situated in an enviable position on Harbour Road in Beadnell and it is a 4 bedroomed detached house with fantastic views over the sea. Just a minutes walk from the amazing Beadnell Bay, Benthall House is a wonderful place to stay to discover the Northumberland Coastline and all it has to offer.

The Lounge is located upstairs and stretches from the front to the back of the house. At one end of the lounge there are patio doors which lead out onto a balcony where you can enjoy the sea views. There are 2 double bedrooms (1 en-suite),a twin bedroom and a family bathroom also on the first floor.

On the ground floor there is a double bedroom with built in wardrobes. At the back of the house you will find a large kitchen diner with an electric range cooker and seating for 8, leading on from the kitchen/diner there is a sun room with relaxing seating and views out onto the garden.

The sun room leads out into the enclosed garden with seating for outside dining on the raised patio.

There is ample parking at the front of the house and a garage which is ideal for storage of bikes, canoes etc.

Benthall House is within walking distance to the village shop and to the two pubs in the village - both allow dogs.

Spacious family coastal house

Benthall House is a large, spacious well-equipped detached holiday let with views straight out to sea from near Beadnell harbour. We were short of nothing inside the house and it is very close to lots of interesting places. There are plenty of walks and cycle routes in the area too. Just a note that at present (Jan 2025) there is no local shop in Beadnell - the nearest is in Seahouses, but this wasn't a problem once we knew. The owners were excellent in their communications and we would definitely recommend this property and return ourselves.

A perfect place for relaxing, dog walks in the beach and good food

Benthall house is a lovely place to stay , fully equipped for everything you’ll need. Long beaches close by for great walks. Easy walking to seahouses (40 mins) for some wonderful food at the Black Swan ..

Holiday 2024

This was our third time at Benthall house, 3 generations and dogs . The house is very comfortable and plenty of room for us all, the garden is safe for children and dogs. We explored the coast from Lindisfarne to Amble, plenty of things to do and see. We all enjoyed the cake and treats left for us, and we are sad it's possibly are last stay here if the house is sold.

Another perfect stay

We have stayed at this property on a number of occasions and will definitely book again. The house is lovely and clean and well equipped for a large family. A secure garden for both dogs and children. A perfect location very close to the beach.

We have stayed at Benthall house twice previously and couldn't wait to return. Such a lovely property with fab sea views from the upstairs lounge. Great for a stay on the Northumbrian coast. Thank you to Sam and all of the team.

Lovely house, perfect location

We had a lovely stay at Benthall House. Plenty of space indoors with 3 bathrooms and a nice sized garden for the pooch. Lovely cake waiting for us on our arrival was a nice treat. A stones throw away from the beach. 'The Landing' and 'The Bae' were close by for food.

Beautiful house stunning views and a great location. Well stocked with everything to make it home from home. Homemade cake and bottle of wine on arrival makes your arrival extra special.

Fabulous stay for multi generation family plus dog

We had a fabulous weekend at this holiday property. It was in an idyllic spot for the beach - it was a cold few days so we went to the beach with little ones, came back for warm drinks and a chill, then walked to the beach again! Perfect! There were a couple of small hiccups at the beginning but Sam and her nephews sorted these promptly & they were super helpful. The welcome pack stunned us all! Thank you so much!! We would def recommend and we will return . My only advice if you have small children is take a few toys such as a box of Lego or duplo. But we would do that anyway.

Spacious and comfortable house with lovely sea views

We stayed here for a long weekend and didn't want to leave! The house was spacious, giving plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 teens to chill out and the beds were comfortable. This was also a very good location - quiet with lovely views to the sea and only a short walk to Beadnell Bay and to the Craster Arms (very good food). It didn't take long to get to Lindisfarne or Alnwick Castle, both excellent places to visit. Finally the welcome cake and wine was a lovely touch - thank you Sam.

For Sale sign, tired property.

Property pictures looked idyllic and my friends agreed. However, the truth was we were mortified. Cobwebs, dog hairs, smelly in great need of a makeover, however being up For Sale I doubt this will happened. Felt dirty and very unwelcoming. Sorry but this was not good. Have pictures. We were asked to hoover up on leaving but wouldn't know were to start.

Lovely property and location

We had a great weekend at Benthall House to celebrate our son's birthday with 3 generations meeting up. The owner Sam met us on arrival and to show us around the property. She was extremely friendly and helpful and very kindly left us a delicious cake and bottle of wine which was much appreciated. The property is very clean, comfortable and well equipped with stunning views of the coast. It is in a fantastic location with many interesting places to visit. We can recommend the Billy Shiels' Farne Island boat tour from Seahouses, it was amazing to get so close to see the seals. A wonderful weekend in a great property and we look forward to visiting again as there is still so much to see.

A lovely holiday at Benthall House

This is our 4th time we have stayed at Benthall House, our first time was in 2020 in Covid times, we have come back every year as this as ticked all the boxes for my disabled mum and our teenagers (which have now grown up) and our two Labradors. The cottage is beautiful, very well equipped, plenty of room for everyone to either cook in or have a take away, the internet seemed to be better this year which was a bonus, the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and sunroom was a bonus for my disabled mum but there is also a lovely lounge upstairs with a balcony overlooking the sea, which is beautiful, we have always been lucky with the weather so have benefited from having the lovely balcony and in our opinion, it is just like being abroad with our poochies. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk which our dogs have always enjoyed, there is also a nice place to have a bite to eat opposite the beach called "The Landing" who does really nice food, (they also do gluten free which was a bonus) it is a little on the pricey side but is very nice, this is also doggy friendly, all the eating places around there are doggy friendly. The village next door "Seahouses" is also very nice, they have a few nice fish and chip shops and nice eating places and do some nice boat trips, I would like to thank Sam and all the staff from Mains Cottages for all their help over the past 4 years for making us welcome and being very helpful if we have had a problem, unfortunately due to the kids growing up the house is too big for us to come back, but we have had many happy memories of Benthall House in the last 4 years.

Spacious, welcoming, clean and homely

A group of seven of us plus a toddler have just stayed for the weekend. We were in the area for a friend's wedding and chose the house mainly due to location, but we would all happily visit again for a holiday in its own right. The welcome from Steve was warm and friendly, and informative. The cake you very kindly left us was delicious and a real treat! All of the rooms were comfortable and very nice and the whole house was in great condition and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and there was plenty of storage space. There were lots of nice touches (the books and board games were great!) and the location was fantastic - beautiful sea views from the lounge. It was a bit chilly to make use of the balcony, but what an amazing addition that would be in summer. The house was warm and extremely comfortable for our group. I know the couple with the toddler appreciated the extra sitting space downstairs (they were up rather earlier than the rest of us!). All of our correspondence before the stay was prompt and very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property and hope we can make it back up for a visit at some point.

Brilliant week - even the weather was pretty good

This was our first holiday with our 4 month old grandchild, her parents and auntie and uncle. The house was perfect for this special holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners of the property. On arrival the owners were at the property to show us where everything was and how it worked. There was a lovely lemon cake and bottle of wine left out for us which was a very nice thought. A new looking travel cot with nice linens was put up for us and also a very new looking high chair, (although she's not quite ready for that yet). The fact that this house has three bathrooms was perfect as it meant each couple had their own space. The view from the upstairs balcony and livingroom was stunning (most days) we fortunately only saw mist on one occasion. My sons dog was also well catered for with special doggy treats left for her, doggy bed, towels and also balls to play with. We only had one slight issue whilst on holiday and Sam sorted that out very quickly. I'm sure we will be returning in the future.

Perfect spot for a dog-friendly getaway

We only spent 4 nights here - could easily have been longer as the house was really well set up to accommodate 4 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. Plenty of space and seating options and really welcoming for humans and pets with plenty of thoughtful touches and very well supplied for self catering. Our car broke down en route but a delicious cake and cuppa in the welcome pack reduced the stress levels! It was so easy to have the dogs with us too thanks to the fenced garden and utility that backed onto it. Great location - a short walk to Beadnell beach and easy reach of village shop & pubs. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful holiday home

The house is in an amazing location with a little bay right opposite and the beach 5 mins walk away. The views are glorious. A spacious drive way for parking and a brilliant size for the 8 of us. We had elderly parents who were delighted with a downstairs bedroom. Two sitting rooms (one upstairs and a conservatory) meant loads of space for the kids to watch a film and grandparents to still have somewhere to sit in peace. The kitchen was brilliant,with everything we needed to cook for 8 people. We have absolutely no complaints. Loved it.

Hi, my name is Samantha and I own 4 holiday homes with my mum, dad and brothers. I live in Morpeth Northumberland with my husband and 2 boys.
We have spent many years since the boys were small enjoying the Northumberland Coastline of Bamburgh, Seahouses and Beadnell and we would like you to experience all that it has to offer.

We have Shepherds Cottage, The Bothy in the Garden, Shepherds Lodge and Benthall House Ref: E17847

We are very fortunate as we are only 40 minutes from the cottages and love to stay there when we get the chance.

Why they chose this property

We have three other holiday cottages in Beadnell and love the village and Beadnell Bay. Benthall House appealed to us as it is right on the sea front, only a minutes walk from the beach

What makes this property unique

The house is on the sea front with fabulous views from the upstairs balcony. It is walking distance to the beach and to the shop. There are also two pubs in the village with are within easy walking distance
