Begas Bead Reviews

Louise
The house was perfect for our family holiday . It was warm and cosy . Located perfectly for the harbour & town . Giving us the ideal location to explore & visit family . Well equipped in the kitchen . Plenty of room to relax in the evenings. We loved the large table in the glass roofed centre of the building .
John
Excellent location and ideal for what we needed. Off road parking very useful. Well appointed throughout.
Caroline
Absolutely beautiful cottage with everything you could need - very homely and welcoming and in an ideal position to explore this wonderful part of the country.
Angela
We have stayed at many different properties in Seahouses but love Begas Bead the most - 3rd visit next year. Each room having its own bathroom is great for us, such a spacious house, outdoor space to sit out and/or peg out the washing, proximity to town centre and beach, beautiful atrium in the centre for dinners around the dining table and parking for 2 SUVâ??s which is rare in Seahouses. We love this property and even when we had a WiFi issue, Holiday Cottages were very easy to contact and sent someone within the hour.
Ian
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage in early Sept 25. We were lucky with the weather too, which was added bonus. It's a great property and could easily host 6 adults. The location is very central to the town too and the private parking a real positive. The accommodation is well set out, very well presented and has all the facilities you will need. A lovely base location top enjoy the beautiful North East coastline and beyond.
Elizabeth
We have just returned home from a week at Bega's Bead, we loved it! Such a beautiful house, fantastic location within walking distance of everything Seahouses has to offer. The house is so nice and comfortable, the facilities are excellent, the kitchen has everything you could possibly want, a real home from home. We loved Northumberland and would definitely stay at Bega's Bead again.

Lovely, homely cottage in a brilliant location. Great to have 2 sitting rooms which is unusual in a cottage of this size, one of which had an excellent library. Comfy beds and modern bathrooms to each bedroom. Amazing dining pub down the road.

Paul
This was the second time we have stayed begas bead - it is a lovely property in a great location making the most of seahouses and the off road parking is the icing on the cake
Karen
A lovely, spacious cottage superbly situated in the heart of the town. Ideally situated for exploring the local area.
Joanne
Fabulous location near to harbour, town and beaches all within easy reach. The house is lovely and the atrium a lovely place to sit and eat and spend family time. Very light and airy. The house was clean and welcoming and the beds were so comfortable. Having private parking was great. Itâ??s a really lovely place to stay with lots of room for our party of 5 and a small dog. If staying in Seahouses I would certainly recommend Begas Bead
Beth
Second time stayed here - nicely set out with plenty of space and fully equipped. Really handy for Seahouses
Jennifer
Location is excellent, the harbour, pubs, restaurants and all the local amenities are 2 minutes walk. Cottage provides excellent access to the beaches. Kitchen is well stocked, fridge and freezer are sizable so plenty of storage. There a utility room and a separate hallway for keeping all outdoor gear. There are two lounges which are spacious and comfortable (TVs in both). The en-suite facilities are good, there is a welcome pack of toiletries enough for a few days. The parking is to the side of the property and we fitted two cars. You can book boat trips from the harbour 2 mins away. We ate a most local places and the food was good and were dog friendly.
Andrew
The cottage is ideally located and the two parking spaces are invaluable. The accommodation is ideal for a number of guests and their dogs. The equipment provided is comprehensive.
Paul
The accommodation is 1st class, with a brilliant location. The communal sitting areas and dining space work really well.
Chriss
We stayed a week at Bega's Bead and we would highly recommend it to everyone. The off road parking for 2 cars, next to the house is brilliant. The accommodation is lovely and has everything you could need to make your stay a home from home. It's quirky use of coloured glass is beautiful. It's a couple of minutes walk onto the village, which has plenty of dog friendly pubs, cafe's shops and places to sit and watch the world go by. The harbour is a 5 minute walk away and the stunning beach less than 10 minutes. Bega's Bead is a great base to explore the surrounding area.
Terry
lovely welcome pack, plenty of comfortable space in the two lounges with loads of books and games provided. great location near the facilities of Seahouses.
Marion
A beautiful cottage. Very well equipped, clean, spacious and in a great location.
Jude
This is a lovely, tastefully furnished and decorated, very comfortable and well equipped house in a perfect location for accessing local shops and eateries and the all important beaches. Other lovely towns etc within easily driveable (and some walkable) distances. Outdoor space is limited and a little exposed to the back lane but, given the lovely surroundings, most people would be out and about anyway. The Black Swan gastropub minutes walk away provides good service and food for those non-catering meals!
Colin
A nice well appointed cottage in a good location easy access to the beaches and Seahouses pubs shops and restaurants, one of the few in the centre of Seahouses with off Street parking for 2 cars.
Sandra
Booked Begas Bead for a family holiday - we all loved the house which is in a great peaceful location in Seahouses, also so convenient for visiting other places in the area either on foot or by car. Something for everyone.
James
Too many niggling problems throughout our stay, lack of control over heating being the main issue. We sat huddled in blankets to keep warm on Saturday night, not what your looking for in a house at this price. Probably the best accomodation we have stayed in, location is perfect but management lets it down.
Gillian
Excellent accommodation: very well equipped with everything we needed; very comfortable and clean, welcoming and homely. Generous quality welcome packs provided. Excellent location: close enough to amenities but at the same time quiet and private.
Jane
If you like quirky and traditional then this is the property for you. If you prefer a more modern property then maybe look elsewhere. Extremely well positioned within easy walking distance of shops/restaurants/pubs. Parking for two family sized cars was very handy as there is no street parking near the property. Welcome packs in kitchen and bathrooms were excellent. The house was well equipped throughout but felt it was just in need of a little update and refresh. It was very spacious with plenty of room for 6 adults. The heating was tricky to alter and as a result we were very cold in the evenings but this was probably our fault as there were instructions in the manual we just couldn't manage to alter the timings. Overall we had a great stay and appreciate a property and owners that welcome our 3 dogs.
