OUR COTTAGES

The North of England possesses no better beach than that lining Beadnell Bay. Situated 7 miles from the A1 this quiet and unspoilt location is the ideal base for exploring the 'hidden kingdom' of Northumbria. If watersports make your holiday then windsurfing, surfing, kitesurfing, standup paddle and body boarding are all available. For those with less energy, perhaps a walk along the sweeping arc of the bay to the nearby bird sanctuary or maybe a quick spin to Bamburgh, Warkworth or Dunstanburgh to view the castles. 

Please take the time to read our T&Cs below. Note we do not allow dogs in high season and only allow them in certain cottages. We do weekly lets Friday to Friday (Coble Cottage in low season is 3 night minimum stay).

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Payment

To complete the booking process you are required to BACs your booking deposit so it reaches our bank account within 10 days of completing the booking form. Should these funds not be transferred in time your booking will not be confirmed.

Booking deposit – This secures your booking until you pay the full balance.

Eight weeks before your arrival your booking deposit will be transferred as your refundable security deposit. Therefore your FULL balance is due to be paid 8 weeks from check-in. Should we not receive these payments on time your booking will not be guaranteed. We will send an email reminder but please make a note in your diary also incase the email goes into your junk mail or you miss it.

Security deposit – This is to cover any costs incurred from your stay such as breakages, damages, additional cleaning. This deposit will be refunded after your stay once the cottage has been thoroughly checked.

No contract exists until a completed booking form has been received by us with the requested deposit and security funds. Thereafter the holidaymaker becomes liable for the balance of the rent and this must be paid by the due date.

Clients should note that our cottages should be for the sole use as a single dwelling for holiday occupation by the people whose names appear on the booking form. In the event of a group of people booking more than one cottage we would stress that no one particular cottage should be used as a congregational point for everyone. 

The tenants must not sub let the cottage and must take care and precaution to prevent damage, while they are responsible.

Dogs are allowed only by prior arrangement with us. They are not permitted in any of the cottages during the main season, i.e. school holiday periods. Please contact us to get dates when 1 dog might be allowed in Shell Cottage only. They must be kept on a lead at all times on the site. Please keep dogs off the furniture and do not leave unattended in the cottage. Dogs should not be allowed in the bedrooms. Please appreciate that not all our clients are dog owners. Please make sure all dog mess is removed from the garden. If you have visitors they are not permitted to bring their dog, not even to be tied up outside.

2 cars only per cottage, any further cars, i.e. visitors cars, must be reported to the warden, prior to or on arrival. No tents or campervans are permitted to be used at the premises.

Cancellation Policy

To avoid misunderstandings, we would like to point out that a booking constitutes a legally binding contract and would recommend you take out adequate Cancellation Insurance. If you have to cancel we will endeavor to rebook the accommodation, and if successful we will refund your booking deposit less 10% in full. If the balance has been paid in full then a refund will only be given if the property can be re-let.

Please note there is no Covid-19 specific cancellation policy.
