Bega's Bead is a spacious stone-built cottage in the Old Quarter of Seahouses, Northumberland. This three-bedroom property mixes original Art Deco features with contemporary comfort. Think vaulted ceilings, skylights, stained glass windowpanes and an original inglenook fireplace. The double-height atrium is genuinely impressive and sets the tone for the whole place. No hot tub here but there's plenty else to love.

Seahouses sits on the Northumberland coast. The beach is within easy reach and Bamburgh is just 3 miles away accessible on foot via the coastal footpath. The Black Swan pub is 150 metres from the front door. Shops are close by too. This is a working harbour village with real character.

Bega's Bead sleeps 6 across three bedrooms. The super-king has an en-suite shower room. The king bedroom has an en-suite wet room. There's also a twin room. A family bathroom with a large bathtub and walk-in shower serves the twin. Every bedroom has exposed beams, Velux windows and a TV.

Bamburgh Castle (3 miles / 8 mins), Alnwick Castle and Gardens (15 miles / 25 mins), Farne Islands boat trips from Seahouses Harbour (0.3 miles / 2 mins walk) and Berwick-upon-Tweed (25 miles / 35 mins).

Bega's Bead is ideal for families or groups of six who want a well-equipped base on the Northumberland coast. With its Art Deco features, secure yard and brilliant location, it's a genuinely special place to stay.
