The whole area was a delight. Service was good wherever we went and the people friendly. The walks were interesting and at times the views were wonderful. Just be aware of flying golf-balls when walking beside the courses ! Two balls just missed us beside the Warkworth course. The Beadnell Towers hotel is a great place to finish the holiday.
The entire holiday was as described and went according to plan, beginning with the prompt arrival of our cheerful and informative taxi driver who took us from Beadnell to Warkworth. We had not visited Warkworth before so to discover such a pretty village made a good start to our holiday: we particularly enjoyed exploring the castle and walking by the river.
We shall always remember the warm welcome from Audrey at Grey Croft when we arrived after a day of walking through constant rain. In arranging the accommodation she has paid great attention to detail and she is a mine of information on all aspects of the area. Tom’s breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed sitting in their lovely walled garden. The guest house is well situated being within easy reach of a number of restaurants as well as Alnwick Castle and Garden and Barter Books - all well worth a visit. When the weather improved we spent a very pleasant day at Alnmouth.
The highlight of our stay in Beadnell was the boat trip to the Farne Islands, particularly the hour spent on Inner Farne, only recently reopened to the public. To see so many sea birds, particularlly the thousands of puffins, at such close quarters, made for a really memorable day. We also enjoyed our trip to Lindisfarne, particularly the recommended walk around the island: we saw an amazing variety of wild flowers and butterflies.
In all, we had a relaxing and varied holiday : quite an achievement in these difficult times.
I was slightly disappointed by some of the routes with quite a bit of road walking. However the quality of the coastline made up for this. The notes were fairly unnecessary as it was obvious where to go.

A spectacular coastal walk with expansive sea veiws, wide open windswept beaches and flower filled dunes and tracks. Everybody we met including the taxi driver, hotel staff and people along the way were very friendly. Your timing must be spot-on for the buses as they are infrequent and can be crowded. Alnmouth was particularly attractive and unspoilt and I would liked to have stayed a few nights there. Alnwick gardens were lovely and our timing was right for the roses - if not for the weather (temperature of 9 degrees and raining).
We loved this holiday which was helped by some very good weather on most days. The walking along the coast was lovely and the places that we stayed were varied but all very good. We found the staff at all of the hotels very friendly and helpful. We had our evening meals at the hotels at Warkworth and Beadnell (the latter included in the holiday) and took the owner (Audrey) recommendations for Alnwick which were both excellent on the nights we were there (DiSopra and Lilburns). You won't be short of things to do as, apart from the walking, there are plenty of places to visit and we managed to make the trip to Holy Island. Unfortunately our proposed puffin cruise to the Farne Islands on the day we were leaving was cancelled due to the poor weather conditions. All in all though this was a really lovely holiday.
Northumberland is a glorious area, with abundant bird life and wildflowers. The mix of beach walks, coastal paths, dunes and walking beside meadows was stunning. Options to visit castles or bird watch, circling islands on boat trips provides variety, depending on your interests. We went on the boat trip from Amble round Coquet Island, which was a particular highlight. We were blessed with wonderful weather too, throughout our week in Northumberland.
The holiday exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed chatting to local people and using your taxis and buses. A very beautiful area.
This was a fantastic holiday in so many ways; a rich mixture of stunning scenery, wonderful hotels and a warm welcome wherever we went. We particularly enjoyed walking along the beaches, sometimes with our shoes off and getting our feet wet. The history and heritage of the area added an extra level of charm and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Alnwick gardens. We are impatient to return to this fabulous part of the world.
A great staycation and a fantastic opportunity to really get away from it all on large beaches with great views.
Wonderful holiday made perfect by the fantastic weather. So glad we upgraded to the Cookie Jar - it was fabulous. The walks took us through stunning scenery and whilst we were initially a little disappointed to find Bamburgh Castle closed, we were able to peak at the film set for the new Indiana Jones movie and share with the locals, the excitement of Harrison Ford being in town. Never before met such friendly and hospitable people as in the North East and we were well looked after throughout.
Extending the holiday to give time to visit Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and the Farne Islands is, in our opinion, very worthwhile.
Walking along the beach as part of our walk was fabulous and be able to see dolphins from Ebb's nook and lots of bird life.
