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.

Location was not as expected, parking not great unless you have a smart car. Plus high footfall so didn't like leaving my car there, not private. Walkway past the cottage leading to an estate and shortcut to centre and shops, high footfall and noisy, even in the early hours probably from people leaving the pub. Could smell dog, so not great. OuRead moretside area was horrible, next to the bins and no privacy. Only good thing it was close to marina for visiting the Farne Islands. Hide

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!

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
