The Shambles Reviews

Claire
A beautiful, comfortable and well equipped cottage in the heart of this lovely seaside village. We loved the giant sofas, comfy beds and the separate tv room. The weather was still warm enough in September to catch a few rays in the courtyard garden. Plenty of amenities with the shop, cafe and pub and lots of places to visit within a short drive.
Charlotte
Very comfortable and spacious house. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Great location very close to a beach and rocks. Also near Seahouses for fish and boats.

Shambles Cottage is in the perfect location in Beadnell close to everything. The owners thoughtful welcome pack went over and above anything we could wish for. Shambles has everything you need for the perfect stay and we shall return. We recommend Sunset Cruise from Seahouses, food at Jolly Fisherman Craster, Fish and chips from chippy van Beadnell Alnwick and Bamburgh Castles. Wonderful Cottage Wonderful Holiday
Gillian
The cottage was in an ideal location and was so very well equipped. The sheltered and private courtyard was an unexpected bonus.
Deborah
A lovely cottage, equipped extremely well with high quality accessories throughout the cottage. The welcome pack was excellent. Centrally positioned in Beadnell, close to places to eat and with easy access to the beautiful Beadnell Bay. Highly recommended.
Hilary
This is the second time we have stayed here so obviously we enjoyed our first visit. The accommodation is comfortable and well laid out and we particularly enjoyed having the TV room, the weather was mixed so we were able to heat the small space and feel cosy. We appreciated the welcome pack and the flowers were a nice touch. As we were only a couple we had the single beds made into a double - well worth it as they are very comfy and I prefer that bedroom.
Kate
What a wonderful find The Shambles is! The owners have equipped this cottage to the highest standards and have thought about everything that would make the guests have the most comfortable stay. The very thoughtful and generous welcome pack and Easter treats were a fabulous addition to our stay. Thank you so much! The cottage is in a prime location with the local pubs, cafe, shop and beach all within a 5 - 10 minute stroll. We are already planning our next stay at the property!
