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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful location & ideal for a large family and your dog

As a family of 7 plus our dog Cilla we stayed in this house for a long weekend for a family wedding at a local venue. The facilities in the house were perfect for such large group and their bathroom needs (3 couples plus a 13 year old) and there was plenty of room for us to spread out and relax in our own space or all sit together for some family banter. The location is stunning being just a short walk to miles of sandy beach and just a 6 mile trip to the wedding venue (£23 in a taxi - AA Taxi's is the best local firm). The house is well equipped for the dog and the owner was very hospitable and very quick to respond to our queries. The house was also clean when we arrived and the little extras went down a treat.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful place.

The house was perfectly placed for touring this gorgeous coastline. The house suited us all - grandparents, two children and a dog- everyone was happy. The house was well equipped and a super home away from home. We’d definitely love to go back.

Excellent property

The house is excellent for a group/family stay. Very comfortable and very well equipped with plenty of room for everyone. Its location is perfect for walks, cycling and playing on the beach. The owner pays attention to detail which gives your stay a special feel. We would not hesitate to book the property again.

Magical Xmas Stay at Benthall

This is our 2nd Xmas stay at Benthall House & everything was as good if not better than our last visit . Amazing welcome pack on arrival - homemade sponge cake - local chocolate - sparkling wine - white wine - lovely treats for the dog etc . House immaculately clean & all decorated for Xmas with 2 trees - lots of lights & plenty of decorations- amazing & so thoughtful. Weather was fantastic- sun most days - no rain at all which meant we had fabulous walks on Beadnell beach and along to the Craster Arms & Saltwater Cafe both dog friendly & highly recommended. Also book a table at the Potted Lobster in Bamburgh for a special celebration again dog friendly with excellent selection of mainly seafood which was faultless. Sam & family are great hosts and thoroughly deserve the awards they have received . Outstanding accommodation- see you again - Keith / Julie / Rob / Caroline & Lily the Cocker Spaniel - Magical Xmas

Great home in great location

This was our second stay at Benthall House. Sam is a great host and the house is very comfortable and well appointed. A lovely and fully equipped kitchen and table make cooking and eating as a group a pleasure. Walks from the door along the coast, north to Bamburgh and south to Craster, make for some good outdoors experiences. We highly recommend a stay here and hope to be back ourselves in the future.

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
