The village of Craster was perched in one of the many rugged corners of the coast and the local pub became our haven when we were unable to complete the intended walk due to the storm conditions. We certainly saw the sea at its most fierce and spectacular and were awe inspired to think of lifeboats and fishing vessels being caught up in such conditions. This is a wonderful coastline to explore and one we'll return to in the future.
A lovely walk, with Capability Brown gardens holding a medieval priory and amazing beach walks dotted with abandoned castles. And at Beadnell Towers, cooking that is worthy of Michelin stars. Food is all locally sourced and cooked by an extraordinarily creative and passionate Head Chef and his team.
A great holiday - thank you.

It was wonderful mix of beach, sand dunes and inland walking
We were delighted with the choice of accommodation, the food and the walking. Northumberland is somewhere we know and have always enjoyed, especially the history and atmosphere. We always think of it as friendly and welcoming - the only blemish was the unfriendliness of the two bus drivers we came into contact with (our feelings were shared by a number of other passengers). That was a shame. I'm sure they had their reasons for being so unwelcoming! We eat out at The Plough in Alnwick at your suggestion. Good value and food but somehow it missed the mark. We wouldnt describe it as a gastro pub.
Dramatic coastline, glorious beaches and ancient history, all on one walk!
Highlights:
The Cookie Jar
Alnwick Castle
The coastal walks
Saltwater Cafe, Beadnell, great cake and soup
The Copper Kettle, Bamburgh
St Aidan's church and crypt, Bamburgh
Using Sat Nav, our journey to Beadnell took us through the Tyne tunnel. We realized that it was a toll road and had our money ready, but having gone through the tunnel were informed that it all had to be done online. We were not sure that we could get internet access and being informed that if our toll was not paid within 24 hours or so we would be liable for a £100 fine. Fortunately the reception staff at Beadnell Towers were extremely helpful and managed to sort out our problem within a few minutes. Apparently this problem happens a lot to people who are not from that area. Perhaps a cautionary note in the travel instructions would be useful.
Glorious coastal views and unspoilt countryside. A great holiday and we want to do it all again. We found an application that tracked the buses which proved invaluable, since local services are provided by two different companies and timetables are not always clear.
Another great Inntravel walking holiday. Cookie Jar in Alnwick was exceptional, worth the upgrade. Food was divine. Beach walks were fabulous, scenery was stunning!
The weather!!! We were very lucky. Fabulous beaches. Trip to the Farne Islands brilliant and we loved the walk from Craster to Beadnell. Nice to have quality hotels and friendly staff to come back to.
Lovely countryside and coast, very friendly people and excellent accommodation.
A lovely holiday. Our first time with Inntravel and we found the arrangements for the walking routes and for luggage transfers very good. The Northumberland coast is a lovely area and we felt we had seen the best of what it has to offer. We hadn't visited this area before, so took advantage of an extra day in Alnwick. This allowed us to visit both Alnwick Castle and the Alnwick Garden as well as Barter Books [twice!]. We didn't do the Hulne Park walk as we felt that our time at the castle and/or garden would have been limited by doing so. Similarly, on the walk to Bamburgh we missed out the extra part to Budle Bay as we wanted to visit both the castle and the Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh. We also had an extra day at Beadnell and made the trip across to Lindisfarne. The castles at Warkworth, Alnwick, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne were all very different, but all well worth visiting. The coastal views were stunning and the mix of beach, dunes, nature reserves and small villages made the walks varied and interesting. Bus timetables were pretty accurate although sometimes difficult to fathom. We met one other couple doing a similar trip with Inntravel - they were a day ahead of us - and it was nice to share experiences when we met up again.
All in all, a great introduction to Inntravel and to the Northumberland Coast.
Beautiful walking on the Northumberland Coastline.Castles and Beaches galore! Alnwick and Bamburgh the highlights for me. Superb accommodation and wonderful food. You must try the smoked kippers at Greycroft, top notch.
Routes were well explained with the option where applicable to walk along the beach if you wished. Timings were good giving plenty of time for stops and to take in the scenery.
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.
