Take in the serene sounds of nature, breathe in the sea air, and create memories together in the heart of Northumberland nature.

Location
Sea and sand are just a stroll away. Cross the footbridge over Long Nanny (which once supplied the mill with its water), walk through the fields, then a 2 mill stroll down the dunes to Beadnell - a traditional horsehoe harbour with a great cafe, a lively pub and lots of watersports on offer. Kitesurfing, SUP, surfing and coasteering are all on the agenda here.
Further afield, the island abbey of Lindisfarne, and the dramatic coastal castles of Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh, are there to be explored. This stretch of the Northumbrian coast is legendary for birdwatching, so make sure you pack the binoculars . And if you're a wildlife lover, don't miss a trip to the Farne Islands, a Nationa-trust owned nature reserve where you'll spot cormorants, arctic terns, kittiwakes and playful puffins.

What our guests say
This is a gorgeous house, tastefully furnished, and very spacious.
We were a multi generational family and there was more than enough room for us all to do our own thing. The real bonus was the location. Surrounded by National Trust land managed as a nature reserve. We were greeted by a hare on the lawn and he and his family visited every morning. We watched a barn owl hunting each evening and so many other birds attracted by the stream next to the house. The fabulous Beadnell bay and beach a gentle walk across the field.

Old friends get together
A party of 10 old friends (5 couples) meet up together every year from different parts of the country. We chose The Old Watermill and we were not disappointed. The property was of exceptional quality and the customer service from Catch the Breeze was first class. Our special thanks to Clare who met us at the property and showed us around prior to our get together. We were so impressed we added an additional 3 nights to our original 4 nights stay. The property was tastefully decorated and to a very high standard. The kitchen areawas exceptionally well equipped and of good quality.
The setting of the property was beautiful along side a stream (The Nanny) amazing natural environment and lovely views. Lovely to sit and watch the various wildlife coming close to the house. Bedrooms were extremely comfortable and once again the bedding etc were of the highest quality.
Lounge areas were great for relaxation and very well laid out. All in all a fantastic place to stay. We would have no hesitation to recommend The Old Watermill to anyone thinking about staying there.

Fabulous house in amazing location
This is the third time our family have stayed at the old water mill.
The house is spacious, beautifully furnished and is in an amazing location, a short walk across the field to the beach, but the wild life comes right up to the door, we saw hares, deer, herons , egrets, a barn owl and a family of mallards with eight ducklings.
The weather last week threw everything at us but every day we had plenty to do with the beaches and the rich northumberland heritage, then back to relaxing in comfort at the mill.
A special shout out also to Clare, who made us feel so welcome and for whom nothing is too much trouble.
We will of course be returning.

Our Northumberland family holiday.
The Old Watermill is a stunning property set in a beautiful location just a walk away from the Northumberland coast.
The house is finished to a very high standard and provides an ideal family base for exploring the wonderful local beaches and countryside or just to relax and watch the widelife.

A brilliant venue and excellent customer service
We recently stayed at the old watermill in Chathill near Beadnell. The property was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the facilities were excellent. The personal service from Clare was above and beyond - we couldn't have asked for more.
