Family seaside holiday
An excellent location and a very nice house. Plenty of space for everyone and fabulous sea views from the balcony. We were lucky enough to see a large pod of dolphins and an otter feeding one evening.

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.

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 Benthall house twice previously and couldn't wait to return. Such a lovely property with fab sea views from the upstairs lounge. Great for a stay on the Northumbrian coast. Thank you to Sam and all of the team.

ideal holiday house in great location
we were a three generation family group of eight with two dogs. children 3, 5,5 and 8. the house ticked all the boxes, great location, plenty of space, good enclosed garden and enough parking for our three vehicles. The upstairs living room was a light and sunny space for a bit of downtime and playing games when wet. The utility was ideal for our dogs, dog towels, toys and bowls provided. the back patio is a suntrap in the afternoon and a secure place for young children and dogs.
However the best thing about this house is the location, 200yds from the large sandy beach and the rock pool beach straight across the road.

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.

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.

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.

Family holiday
We have had a great week at Benthall House. So much thought has gone in to what the owners provide down to beach towels and barbecue coals etc. Very comfortable and lots of space for a big family. Safe enclosed garden for our little dogs. Could not find fault. Location is amazing for the beach and views from house are great. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again another time.

Beautiful house great location
Beautiful house stunning views and a great location. Well stocked with everything to make it home from home. Homemade cake and bottle of wine on arrival makes your arrival extra special. Great base to see surrounding area make sure you do not miss the small harbour and beautiful beach 2 mins walk away.
Lovely spacious house in a great location. We were 4 couples staying for 3 nights and had 4 cars but parking not a problem. 3 bathrooms was a definite advantages though the ensuite was very small.Good storage and plenty of kitchen equipment but we did eat out at the local Craster Arms Pub and got take away Fish and Chips from the Beadnell Towers Hotel. No complaints at all. One evening it got quite chilly but a phone call to the owners quickly resulted in the heating being turned up.

Spacious and comfortable house with lovely sea views
We stayed here for a long weekend and didn't want to leave! The house was spacious, giving plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 teens to chill out and the beds were comfortable. This was also a very good location - quiet with lovely views to the sea and only a short walk to Beadnell Bay and to the Craster Arms (very good food). It didn't take long to get to Lindisfarne or Alnwick Castle, both excellent places to visit. Finally the welcome cake and wine was a lovely touch - thank you Sam.

Lovely property and location
We had a great weekend at Benthall House to celebrate our son's birthday with 3 generations meeting up. The owner Sam met us on arrival and to show us around the property. She was extremely friendly and helpful and very kindly left us a delicious cake and bottle of wine which was much appreciated.
The property is very clean, comfortable and well equipped with stunning views of the coast. It is in a fantastic location with many interesting places to visit. We can recommend the Billy Shiels' Farne Island boat tour from Seahouses, it was amazing to get so close to see the seals.
A wonderful weekend in a great property and we look forward to visiting again as there is still so much to see.

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.

Spacious, welcoming, clean and homely
A group of seven of us plus a toddler have just stayed for the weekend. We were in the area for a friend's wedding and chose the house mainly due to location, but we would all happily visit again for a holiday in its own right.
The welcome from Steve was warm and friendly, and informative. The cake you very kindly left us was delicious and a real treat! All of the rooms were comfortable and very nice and the whole house was in great condition and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and there was plenty of storage space. There were lots of nice touches (the books and board games were great!) and the location was fantastic - beautiful sea views from the lounge. It was a bit chilly to make use of the balcony, but what an amazing addition that would be in summer.
The house was warm and extremely comfortable for our group. I know the couple with the toddler appreciated the extra sitting space downstairs (they were up rather earlier than the rest of us!). All of our correspondence before the stay was prompt and very helpful.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property and hope we can make it back up for a visit at some point.
