Turn at the red phone box.
Sat-nav gets people as far as the village and then loses interest. Here is how to actually reach the gate — plus every way to get hold of us before you set off.

Where we are
Swinhoe Lane, Beadnell.
Four hundred metres inland from the coast road, halfway between Seahouses and Craster. The gate is a pair of stone gateposts with a wooden sign; if you have reached the farmyard you have gone one field too far.

Get in touch
Ask us anything.
For dates and prices the booking system is quicker than we are. For everything else — long units, accessibility, a big family group, whether the pond is warm yet — write or ring and Kate will answer, usually the same day.
The last mile
Door to gate, in four turns.
- 01 Leave the A1 at Brownieside Northbound or southbound, take the turn signed Beadnell and Seahouses onto the B6347, then follow signs for the coast for about six miles.
- 02 Join the coast road, the B1340 At Swinhoe crossroads turn left towards Beadnell. Ignore anything your sat-nav says about the unmade track past the reservoir — it is a farm track and it does not go through.
- 03 Turn inland at the red phone box Coming into Beadnell from the north you will pass the church, then a red telephone box on the right. Swinhoe Lane is the single-track road immediately after it.
- 04 Four hundred metres to the gateposts Tarmac all the way, passing places on both sides, one blind bend by the farm. Our stone gateposts and the wooden Haven Crags sign are on the left. Reception is the first building inside.
By train
Chathill is 4 miles (request stop, limited service) and Alnmouth 14 miles, both on the East Coast main line. Taxis meet Alnmouth trains; ring us and we will book you one.
By bus
The X18 runs the coast road between Newcastle, Alnwick and Berwick and stops in Beadnell village — twelve minutes’ walk. Tell us your arrival time and we will collect you and the bags.
Long units & EVs
8m motorhomes manage the lane comfortably; longer than that, ring first and we will save you the corner bay. Two 7kW charge points sit beside reception.
