"An hour up the Northumbrian coast from Newcastle, in the village that gives it its name, Beadnell Towers dates back to the 18th century. Thus it comes as something of a surprise to find so modern and so handsome a boutique hotel. The décor is historically minded but quite obviously the work of a keen contemporary designer, and is a fine complement to the antique architecture. And the Bar and Kitchen are arguably what puts Beadnell Towers on the map, showcasing locally sourced seafood and produce." - Tablet Hotels
