Topcliffe

Reviews

This property was within minutes walk of the local shop, and a couple of village pubs. The beach directly opposite was ideal for dog walking, where you can walk along the Sea front to Seahouses. 10 minutes walk in the other direction gets you onto Beadnell Bay beach. We were very impressed with this property, and the location is stunning. Our family of 5 plus 2 dogs stayed here for 2 weeks in August. This property was within minutes walk of the local shop, and a couple of village pubs. We ate at the Craster Arms which is a pleasant pub, good food but not particularly cheap. The beach directly opposite the property is ideal for dog walking, where you can walk along the Sea front to Seahouses, and if you want to make a day of it further up the coast to Bamburgh. 10 minutes walk from the property in the other direction gets you onto Beadnell Bay beach, which also allows dog walking but was busier with families due to the beautiful golden sand - but by no means packed. We were very impressed with this property - clean well presented with everything we needed during our stay. There is a road between the property and the beach, but it wasn't busy and we had the windows open at night with no noise disturbance. The places we visited were Alnwick, Seahouses, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne - all of which were just stunning. If you are looking for a quiet location, peaceful beaches, stunning coastline and stacks of history - this is the perfect spot.Mrs C Webster - 26th August 2019

We had a lovely stay at Topcliffe, the cottage was warm and cosy and everything you could possibly need had been provided. Lovely location with views of the sea and access to the beach directly over the road. A local shop (1 minute walk) had all essentials and The Craster Arms pub just a 5 minute walk into Beadnell where we had a fantastic meal. We will definitely book again. - 8th January 2019

This was a holiday we should have taken in March, but to"Beast From The East" we were unable to get to Beadnell, it was snowed in.Stay Northumbria arranged with the owner that we could take the holiday in November instead.Our second visit to Topcliffe, funnily enough exactly the same November week we had there two years ago.The cottage lived up to all expectations again, clean, cosy and everything you needed,especially in the kitchen, which isn't always the case in some self catering.Pots, pans, cutlery all in abundance. Beautiful clean bedding,towels etc, and cuddly feather duvet in one of the bedrooms, covering the wonderful super king bed, both beds in double rooms are super king, or can be converted to two singles.The views are amazing, the house been right on the sea front, what more could you ask for? Toiletries also left, along with milk and delicious locally made biscuits, even two doggy goody bags for our canine friends, along with a large towel for their use, though sadly this time we only had the one dog as the other one is still in recovery from major joint surgery to his front leg, so had to stay at home.We shall most certainly be returning to this lovely bolt hole again for another holiday in the future.Thanks once again to Stay Northumbria for all your help. - 14th November 2018

We enjoyed our stay at Topcliffe. The property is in a quiet location, very convenient for the beach. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything we needed. The welcome pack for the dogs was a nice touch. - 3rd October 2018

We had a great 2 week stay at Topcliffe, The house is in a great location with wonderful views of the North Sea. A short walk to shop, beach and the Craster Arms. A 2 minute drive to Seahouses for shopping or a day out. The weather was very kind to us,a glorious 2 weeks of sunshine we even went swimming in the sea at Beadnell Bay. - 18th July 2018

Absolutely loved our stay at Topcliffe. The cottage itself has everything you need. The location in Beadnell is great for access to wonderful beach walks to Low Newton and beyond and we loved nipping over the quiet road in front of the cottage onto the beautiful beach opposite with our two dogs, who also loved their holiday. I would highly recommend Topcliffe, and will be booking again in the future. - 20th June 2018

This was a very good property for my party (5 Pensioners) though one found his single bed rather narrow. The large kitchen/dining room was excellent with every mod con and the sitting room very comfortable. The downstairs en suite bedroom was perfect for Mum (94). The family bathroom upstairs is basic but fine and the two bedrooms simply decorated and pleasant. The customer service from Jackie at StayNorthumbria was absolutely excellent. Two small negatives - I personally found the stairs a bit steep and the oil tank is close to the back door so that on a couple of very hot days, with the door open, there was a bit of a fumey waft at that end of the kitchen. I loved the location, facing the sea, and it was brilliant having the two younger generations of the family right next door. - 30th May 2018

Topcliffe is in a great position looking out to the sea. Very warm, cosy and well equipped. Convenient local shop and great to cross the road in a morning and be down on the beach to walk my dogs. - 29th November 2017

One of the nicest places we have stayed in on Harbour Road, our location of choice in our preferred village of Beadnell. Great sea views and handy for an evening stroll with the dog. Well equipped kitchen. Nice dining area. Comfy lounge and spacious bedrooms. Good plentiful hot water and powerful shower upstairs. Gutter at back needed clearing and fixing. Bathrooms could usefully do with a toiletries stand. - 8th November 2017

The cottage was a lovely home for five days as we explored the beautiful Northumberland coast. Right on the seafront, the views are great, and it's handy for fishing and dog walking. Everything you need is in the cottage and it's very comfortable. - 31st October 2017

We really enjoyed our break over new year at topcliffe. The house was spacious and comfortable, with a nice open plan kitchen dining space. The house is well located within walking distance to the beach and restaurant/cafe in Beadnell, as well as a short drive to seahouses. The house was very clean when we arrived, and was well stocked with sustainable products, which was nice. - 8th January 2017

The first time we have booked with Stay Northumbria, won't be the last!! Topcliffe at Beadnell, right on the sea front, excellent property, cosy and warm, lights were on for our arrival, and also the heating. Spotlessly clean cottage, plenty of kitchen equipment provided, not always the case in some places we have stayed. Toiletries left for our use, a very nice little addition, really good quality bedding, and fluffy white towels. An enclosed garden ideal for young children and dogs, one minute walk to the beach, lots of exciting rock pools there, even if we are pensioners we still like rock pools!! We were blessed with wonderful weather, only got rain and gales on our last night before coming home. Can say Topcliffe is one of the BEST properties we have ever stayed in and hope to book another late week next year, also thank you to Stay Northumbria for easy booking service. - 11th November 2016

This is our 2nd year at Topcliffe the previous 2 years we stayed in The Haven next door,they are perfect home from home so cosy and comfy!!There is everything that you could possibly need for an enjoyable holiday,extremely comfortable beds,nice bed linen,gorgeous smellies in the bathrooms and.........THE most amazing view of the sea,Sky and stars!!As you can tell we are completely smitten with the place because we don't thik - 20th September 2016

The cottage was extremely well equipped and the bed very comfortable. Treats for the dog, dishwasher tablets, milk in the fridge etc were welcome finds. My only very small gripes were that the hoover didn't seem to have an attachment for the stairs and a proper dustpan and brush would be good. Aside from that the whole family and out dog had a great holiday. - 31st August 2016

We returned with our dog to Topcliffe for a week in August and had a very comfortable stay. Lovely property in excellent location within easy walking distance of all Beadnell amenities. - 10th August 2016

Top life has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The house is well presented and was clean and fresh when we arrived. The beds were lovely and comfortable. The location is fantastic we only used the car twice all the other days we walked to different places from the house. The only things that were missing are some lamps in the lounge and a draft excluder for the front door. Great stay, we have already booked The Haven next door for the summer. - 8th June 2016

We spent a very enjoyable week here during Easter 2016. Beds and sofas were comfortable and the large kitchen is very well equipped. The downstairs single bedroom and shower room was a bonus for the older member of our party. Access to the beach is straight across the road. Turn right from the house, and a 5-10 minute walk takes you to Beadnell harbour and long sandy beach. Turn left, and you can walk straight down to the sand/rock pools leading up towards Seahouses. There is a local shop and a fish and chip shop two minutes across the road. We had some problems with the WiFi extension, but Jackie kindly came out straight away from the office to re-set it. Reception was still quite patchy, but that only really bothered our two teenagers! Great location and we enjoyed trips to Alnwick Castle and Gardens, Holy Island, Berwick and Bamburgh Castle. We would be pleased to stay here again. - 6th April 2016

Had a lovely weeks holiday at Topcliffe, we had a welcome pack for both dogs including towels, the property was fresh and clean with a fantastic view from the front. instant access to the beach along a grassy path which we used on a daily basis especially at sunrise, the weather was also fantastic which meant we spent very little time in the cottage however it had excellent heating and a log burner for the colder nights. The quality TV and freeview was enough for us when we did sit down of an evening, only small thing that we thought would be a good touch was a lamp in the living room. I would recommend this cottage as being in a perfect location, a Pub and cafe close by with just a few minutes drive to Seahouses for different places to eat. Access to the coastal route is handy and you are only a short drive to the bigger town of Alnwick. - 6th October 2015

Our first trip to Northumberland for many years. Great location with two great beaches within walking distance and lots of things to do within a 20 mile radius. The house is across the road from one of the beaches. It is very well equipped, clean and comfortable - with a small garden at the rear with chairs and tables. And very dog friendly - K9 welcome pack, enclosed garden and nearby walks. - 2nd October 2015

The location of this house is perfect, literally right accross the road from the beach and very near to the shop and village centre. We were a family of 4 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room for us all, the downstairs bathroom being a bonus, the garden was also escape proof for the dogs.The decor in the house was very tastefully done and we lit the wood burner at night as it was just starting to go a bit chilly and this was lovely - 29th September 2015

Everything about our stay was 10/10,the cottage is extremely cosy and comfy,all that you could possibly wish for a lot of effort and thought has gone into making topcliff perfect!! Looking forward to our fourth year 2016... Can't wait!! - 16th September 2015

no problems with the cottage, every one very help full. barbeque not in garden disappointment, all facilities in the cottage worked very well. - 10th September 2015

We had an excellent week at Topcliffe. The facilities are clean and modern. Its an excellent location with the beach, pubs and shop all easily reached by foot. We stayed with our dog and she settled in very well. The only improvements I'd recommend are curtains in the main bedroom. The blind is ok but on a sunny morning the room was very light by 4:30am.A barbeeque would have been a nice addition as well. Otherwise excellent and we will be looking to come back next year. - 12th August 2015

Beadnell is a wonderful place for a holiday and Topcliffe is the ideal cottage to stay, especially if you need a ground floor bedroom and en suite. The sunshine we had was a bonus, but the beach and the sea never change, they are spectacular. - 1st August 2015

We recently stayed at Topcliffe, two grandparents and two grandchildren. The beach is just across the road which is quiet. The beach is sandy and rocky, swimming, sandcastles and rockpooling. It was great for the kids as they could take wetsuits on and off at the house then straight into the shower. Very well equipped. Ideally located for touring the area. - 3rd June 2015

We enjoyed Topcliff very much. we have stayed in Beadnell on several trips and Topcliff is the best location so far. The views are great. To make our stay even more memerable I suggest the following: 1 you add extra crockery to allow us to be able to have soup and pudding without the need for washing up between courses. 2 the sound proofing for the downstairs bedroom is very poor. If you can't improve this you should let guests know this before they book. 3 trays and more plastic chopping boards would be good. 4 Wifi reception only strong in the lounge. The hub is in the Haven. Our guests were working during our stay and had to keep moving from the dining room table to the lounge to send and receive messages. 5 your gues book is written for the Haven, it mentions wine racks and guarage that don't exist in Topcliff. I would recomend a review of the details in the guest book. These points might seem minor but they would improve an already good offering. Thanks for laying on the sunshine as well. Keith Findell - 5th May 2015

Arrived late in the day end of December and was delighted to open the door to a warm house. It smelt clean too. Very comfortable sofas and huge double bed. Had absolutely everything we needed. Perfect for our dog with an escape-proof back garden/ - 10th January 2015

A well-presented, clean and comfortable cottage with fabulous seaviews from the front windows. First time we have ever received a welcome pack for the dogs as well! Would definitely recommend to friends. - 6th November 2014

Topcliffe was a lovely cottage with great views out to the farnes, It was clean,comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Great location (two pubs chippy and shop all in walking distance) beach just across the road. - 3rd September 2014

We have just returned from Topcliffe after a wonderful sunny week, in a house facing the sea. What more can anyone want. Topcliffe's location could not be better for seaside lovers and the house itself was comfortable and beautifully furnished. In fact I have brought a few decor ideas home with me! - 28th July 2014
