This attractive cottage is perfect for a family or small group of friends to enjoy a seaside break in Northumberland. Set within a few hundred metres of Seahouses’ pretty working harbour, all of the town’s amenities are close by. The welcoming high street and surrounding roads offer a great range of independent shops to browse, along with coffee shops and friendly local pubs. There is also a good choice of restaurants, many serving locally caught fresh seafood or smoked fish from the town’s traditional smokehouse. Visitors can visit the harbour and watch the fishing fleet come in or hop aboard a sightseeing boat trip to the wildlife-rich Farne Islands. The Northumberland Heritage Coast offers some fantastic coastal walks, including a trail to Bamburgh with its impressive castle 3.5 miles away.

The cottage is laid out all on one level with a beautiful open-plan living area. This has high vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams and skylights. It’s a relaxing place to spend time with cushy recliner seating gathered around the wood burner and TV. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s a charming dining table off to one side. The bedrooms also have vaulted and beamed ceilings and are comprised of a double and a twin room. The stylish family bathroom features a walk-in shower.

Guests have access to an outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon drinks in the open air.

Lovely cottage with everything you needed and more, the location was perfect with just very short walk to the local pubs/restaurant/shops. Some reviews have mentioned that the parking wasn't great but we didn't have any issues at all with the parking. We will definitely be returning to this property next time we visit Seahouses!

Beautiful cottage in an ideal location for the harbour,shops, pubs and restaurants and for walking to numerous different places. Parking was a bit tight but nothing can be done about that, as the name suggests, it's down a ginnel.

The cottage was ideally situated for Seahouses Harbour and the cottage is well described and therefore a very comfortable place to stay. The little extras that are left (Tea/Coffee/milk/wine etc) are lovely touch and very welcome. Equipment and utensils are in good condition and therefore caters for all your needs. Many thanks for a great breakRead more, the Northumberland coast is great to explore and we will definitely be back. Hide

A very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Ginnell Cottage with everything we needed supplied plus quite a few extras, such as a welcome bottle of wine, biscuits, and more. We appreciated the location, so close to the harbour and coastal walks. We took our two small dogs and it all worked well with them, the only thing I would point out is that theRead more immediate outside space is not enclosed, which dog owners might like to be aware of.
